paid my taxes

[izodia]

Please help? in the fall of 2001 I went to my township to pay me real estate taxes. they would not accept my check. I was told my taxes were paid, in December of 2003 I recieved a latter from a a company in kentucky, they claimed to have paid my taxes in error and wanted me to pay them. I told them to collect this money back from the township , then I could pay the township. Now in june 2005 the same company has sent me to a collection agency, they want me to pay them now or they will sue me. i stilll claim the issue is between them and the township and does not involve me, Please advise as to what to doe.

I fail to see how you can claim this does not involve you. If they made a mistake and paid your taxes then simply repay them. You do need to make them show proof of payment.

As an alternative send the money to the township with instructions to return the incorrect payment to the company in Kentucky. Quit trying to weasel out of what you owe.
