More details to this question:
My warranty was over and my son called for service, so they gave my son the servce under my name but the bills came under his name. When my son lost his job they send me a bill for 495.00 and since I didn't paid they placed me in a collection agency and lower my credi score when I'm in the process of buying a house. I shouldn't be paying a bill for a 31 year old. Every time he called for service they would give him what ever he needed. When he had questions he would call and they would solve his issue. The servce was between my son and the company. I do not have no contract with them.

Well it all starts with whether there was a contract or account in YOUR name at all. If not, he can't order service on an account in his name under yours. This may be a collections abuse violation if it can be shown that you were not an account holder for the cable company.
