Not cool WHHHEEEEE

I just got off the phone with a collection agency. UGH! I/we owe nobody nothing outstanding (we have a mortgage that is in good standing and a revolving credit card balance-all accounts are up to date). The so-called friend who took me for over $17,000 (let's call 'friend' "THE VAN") had a boyfriend. Collection agency called looking for the van's boyfriend. And because I am of no relation to said boyfriend I have no legal access to the info they have-whereabouts, what they are calling for-nothing! I haven't spoken to the van in 4 years, 9 days (I last saw the van the day before I started my fabulous job) and by that time said boyfriend had been out of the picture for at least a year-so for at least 5 years I have not seen this man. They would tell me the city they have as his address and they told me mine is the only # they have for him. I know he 'bought' the van a HUGE big screen tv, but that was about 6 years ago. Here is the not cool WHHHEEEEE part: they said he listed my phone # THREE years ago!!!! I say WHHHEEEEE because my head is spinning and my heart is racing from being so ANGRY, FRUSTRATED, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGHHHHHHGHHHHHH!! I also know Karma is as Karma does (thank you Regina Phalange)and they'll catch him eventually, and peeps that live like that are not blessed. Not that I don't wish them blessings, but how can you let blessings come upon you when you are so mired down in deceit, theft, complete wrong doings? And my personal belief since I had this money taken, is that people who claim bankruptcy after taking so much are theives of the almost worst kind. People who try to hide from their debts like him are too. Claiming bankruptcy because the economy screwed you is a completely different matter, but if you go to a rent-to-own place, you obviously can't afford it anyway-why kid yourself? That's where he went to get the tv. Have they been trying to collect for 3 years? Did he use my info once they split? Did the van do it after they split? I checked my credit less than a year ago and it was all accurate (WHHHEEEEE), but you never know in this day and age what's happening. I check my bank accounts FAITHFULLY, every day, usually twice a day (I had my check card used before christmas 2 years ago on HSN-caught the guy, but still..)I am almost neurotic about monitoring my stuff to my best ability since all this happened to me. I was such a good friend (I thought)-the friendship was so good for so long (5+ years). It's so hard to trust people now. I hate that. My next post will probably be a 'Dear Van' letter-everything I want to say should our paths cross again. I told you I was using this as therapy-the therapist in my head is very proud of me-she thinks this is all very healthy. I decided it was a she-men just can't listen sometimes! Hahahahahaha...on that note:WHHHEEEEE :)
