A year and a half ago the man I was dating got drunk and physically abused me and held me captive in my apartment. I called the police and the next and last time I saw or spoke to him was in court. Like I said, this was over a year ago. Recently I got a phone call about some video games rented on my account that were late. I had not rented those games but quickly realized that his name must have still been listed under the people given permission to use my account. Sure enough, when the manager reviewed the tape of that day, this man had rented the games. The charges were $141. I gave them his last known number, not wanting at all to contact him myself, but it had been disconnected. Now it has been turned over to a collection agency. This is a bad man with a criminal record a mile long. I'm a good girl with no criminal record or trouble of any kind. I am also still a student with limited funds. Even if I could afford to pay this off, I would have big issues about doing so since I didn't rent those games in the first place. What are my options? Am I doomed to paying this bill? Will other avenues be even more expensive? Please help.
