They wrongly linked her to someone else whom used her SS#. Isn't there a statute of limitations for this levy?
Hi. There is the 20-year SOL, but you may have a better way of approaching this matter. If the collection was on an incorrect use of her SSN (Identity Theft), there are ways to prove this to be true and possibly get the money returned.

Also there is a very large utility bill owed & now services has been interrupted. Can I take claim that on my taxes if I pay it?

From what you described this sounds like an improvement on an investment property so it would not be deductible but it would be added to... Read more »
