You're absolutely right about knowledge being power and that's my hope with this post...to hopefully empower others to be able to deal with this issue somehow before they are stung by it unexpectedly.

She apparently had a credit card debt that was purchased by a collection agency. They ended up tracking me down and I told them when they paid her nursing home bill, then they could come back and talk to me. Otherwise, my name is Beverly---not Lillian. Sadly, the average person is totally unaware of how their debts can come back to haunt them and the fact that they're being taken advantage of. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! Thanks for posting this and the "education." Angela,

While looking through the blogosphere we stumbled on an interesting post today.Here’s a quick excerpt Although I’ve recently blogged about some things that I consider gloomy, I don’t like to do so, but some things just need to be brought to the attention of others at times.
