Billed By School I Never Attended/applied For/heard Of

Card image cap

Hi all. I just received a notice in the mail from Franklin University in Columbus, Ohio. The letter states that my student account is “severely delinquent in the amount of $1,464.00” Apparently “repeated attempts” to contact me about this debt have gone unanswered. If payment isn’t issued within 30 days my entire account will be “placed for collection with key 2 recovery inc” and then the entire amount will be due and payable and collection costs of 42.857% will be added to my account balance.

Here’s the issue: I am not attending Franklin University. I don’t plan on attending it. I never have. I haven’t even heard of it until today. I graduated from college a little over 10 years ago.

So why am I receiving this notice? I called and emailed the business office but naturally they’re closed after I got home from work and found this notice waiting for me. Wondering if anything has any advice or experience while I wait to hear back.

TIA.
