Need Advice Any Lawyer Types

Ok today on lunch break I finally returned a phone call from a guy that had called the house twice before but I wasn't home.

I didn't recognize the name, but Jenny wanted me to find out who it was.

anyrate long story short it was a collections agency for Sprint PCS. Turns out they are claiming I owe them $220 for a bill back in 2000.

Here's the deal. - I had a Cell phone and I did cancel it early, I canceled it because my work kept calling me on it and it wasn't a work paid for phone. So I canceled Paid the charges. And never heard anything from Sprint or anyone else since.

Now I don't think I still have any of my stuff from back in 2000.

But anyrate here's the kicker. They say they've been charging me 21% since 2000 for the bill. And the total is now up to $220. But this is the first time they've tried to get a hold of me.

And when I asked for proof of Billing they said we don't have the records other then the original Spring claim stating/account stating I owe them money.

They asked for a Show of Good Faith payment. So I told them to kiss my ass I'm not paying for anything or accepting responsiblity until I get proof that I actually owe this. I said send me a copy of my Last Spring PCS Statement that shows this whole thing. They said we don't have them. I said well can you get that from sprint, and they said Sprint won't have it either.

So basically they have no proof that I didn't pay the bill. Sprint nor this company has tried to contact me in 4 years. Althought they said they sent to statements to an address which I haven't live at in 4 years. But say that's not there fault it didn't get forwarded. I said it's not my fault either. And replyed I haven't heard a word from either sprint or Your company in 4 years now out of no where you call me up say you've been charging me 21% over the last 5 years on an outstanding bill. I said this is a Scam you realize that. I said there is no way in hell I'm going to pay the incured 21% over the last 5 years and if you plan to come after me for it I'll see you in coart. And honestly I said I'm even thining about doing anyways since this is a Scam. I was never notified about it in 5 years from either of your company's till today. I said send me the proof/information. I'll check to see if I still have any of my old account information to verify.

I'm not even sure if I have any of my reciepts or bills from back then. All they have is an account number, name, Social, and total amount.

So my question is what the hell should I do. Seriously Never heard a work about it. From either company ever. And what the hell would have been the original balance anyways like a dollar?
