Mother has a rare name and until a few years ago had a public phone number.
Mother got a bill yesterday for $116,889.74. Something about a defaulted student loan. Mother has three degrees. Her father paid for the first, my father paid for the second, and her employer paid for the third.
She shares a rare name with a serial deadbeat and debt collectors are lazy. I had to get a new unlisted phone number a few years ago.
Last time around the serial deadbeat's collector convinced Mother, who has Alzheimer's, to pay her two thousand dollar electric bill.
I got Mother's money back that time.
Mother's namesake is unlikely to dig herself out of the student debt hole.
