Re: collections department
Write the collections agency a letter, stating the facts that you were a minor when the services were performed and were not emancipated, therefore you do not owe the money, and if they ever bother you again about the case, you will sue them under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and send the letter by certified mail, and carefully keep a copy of the letter and your certified mail return receipt. Good luck.
