I phoned a couple of times to explain that I had paid it - sent them copies of my cancelled checks - they then sent it to collections as their record keeping just sucks. This has happened to me about 5 different times so when I order from the States I have them use good old USPS.
Both times I had ups deliver to me, the driver refused to leave the package until he was paid and still the head office billed me again 2 months later. I wonder how many people just pay again unquestioningly
