Comment on Has anybody else kinda pieced together the story of the last person who had their new phone number?

Our landline number had been recycled from someone into writing bad checks. For years we had to tell collection agencies she never lived at our address.
A while later, when doing a routine job background check, turned out her address had been linked to my name! Took a LOT of calling to untangle all that. We just ended up canceling the landline.

See this is the thing. Iirc the debt collector was one of the people who clued me into the Jr/Sr thing. I said I was pretty sure he was dead and they were like “no that’s Sr we’re looking for Jr.”
