My cable company billed me under the wrong last name even after I asked them to change it twice.Do I pay them?

Question

I recieved a bill last year from my cable company with my correct first name and the wrong last name. I phoned customer service twice and talked to a representative both times, and they assured me the name was changed. Since then I have recieved about 10 bills, still with the wrong last name. I have paid them all, and didn't bother to call them again about it. Now I am moving and am cancelling my cable. Do I have to pay the last bill even though they didn't change the name, or will it go to collections and come back to me?

Answer 1

Yes, you atill have to pay it because you owe them the money.  Yes it will come back to haunt you if you don't pay it.

Answer 2

Did you give them your social security number?

Answer 3

Pay your bill, but make sure your name has actually been changed, or the false last name will go down as an alias in your credit report.
