I've had this happen to me twice. In both cases it was a magazine with a huge circulation. I think that just like any other large organization, they become impersonal. I've since sworn off subscribing to main stream magazines. The first time it happened the "collection agency" was actually a subsidy of the publisher. The second time a real collection agency's name was used. I check my credit report annually and nothing ever came of either instance. They're posturing, trying to scare you into renewing a subscription. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that this is bad business, but they probably have an army of actuaries telling them otherwise. You might want to give it a few months and check your credit report, but I wouldn't sweat it if I were you.
