<prompt> Human: So my question is a bit of a mix between both rlegal advice and rpersonalfinance. Ive posted to legal advice already, but I would also like a financial take as well. Here is what is happening:So my job is a bit demanding, and last year October I got sent away for approximately 6-8 weeks for a project. Instead of keeping me in a hotel, my company had rented an apartment for me to stay in. This included setting up tvinternet for the place since I needed internet to do my job. My company provides everything for us when this happens so there was no account for anything set up with the expectation of me to pay.Once I was there, my name was given to the internet company since I was the person that would be at the residence to let the technician in to hook up services. I thought all was good and well when, at the end of it all, I returned the equipment to the company and went on my merry way.Its now nearly a year later, and I have found out that I personally have been sent to collections by this internet company for a bill that was not paid by my company it was mailed to the address I moved out of and not to my company accounting team, so we didnt even know it existed. Every time I call collections I get the runaround about how they will only speak to me because its my name and phone number on the account, even though I keep trying to tell them it isnt my account at all. Theyre calling me and going after me because somehow its only my name and number they have.The thing is, I never paid for or called for anything to do with this. It was totally my Companys account financially. There was no expectations for me to pay for it and I didnt pay for it while I was there. As far as my company is concerned they closed the account paid in full. Im also curious how the previous bills made it to the correct place my company accounting team but all of a sudden they dont have that information.When I called the tvinternet company, they are saying that since I allowed the technician in, I am responsible for the outstanding fees. They believe that since I was the end user, Im fully responsible and my credit is now going to take a hit because my name and number is what they had for the technician to contact.My legal question is, how can someone else re: my company set up an account totally in my name, without my permission or signature or anything, and have me sent to collections for unpaid bills?? Im not understanding something here. I asked the internet company how they can allow someone to set up something like that totally in my name, and they are currently going back to listen to calls and see what happened. I want to be prepared before they call because as far as Im concerned I did not sign up for this account.My personal finance questions are, how can I fight this and keep it off my credit record? Ive never been sent to collections in my life, and I ALWAYS make payments on time. Ive never missed one ever and I take pride in having a good score. This isnt my personal account so Im livid that Im taking the hit for something like this.To be totally fair to my company, I believe that they did everything they could to avoid this, I think the internet company effed up here big time. My company did not intend for me to get caught in the cross fire here.Is there anything I should know going into this? Im prepared to fight this hard but I want to know my standing here, and what the risks are for me financially.If this helps, Im located in Canada.Assistant: Its 96. Foot the bill then go after your company. Human: Paying the bill would admit fault though, and I dont want to do that if I dont have to.Assistant: If your credit was dinged already then youre right. But if it hasnt appeared I would pay it. Human: So initially I thought the automated calls I was getting were telemarketing scams, so I was ignoring them for a couple months, and this situation is from almost a year ago. Its probably already hit my credit by now  <response>: Get a free online credit report and check. Canadians can use Credit Karma
