... and copy the leasing company on all correspondence. You can state in your first communication that you were never informed of any balance due, etc.

I've found myself in a strange situation.
After 8 years in the same apartment, I moved last July. I paid my final month's rent, along with what I thought was my final water bill. I left a forwarding address and phone number.
I received a letter from a debt collector stating that the leasing company sent a debt for a utility bill to collections.
I never recieved any sort of bill or notice from them and was completely unaware that I owed $.
I don't want anything on my credit, especially from a leasing company.
How do I resolve this? Do I pay the leasing company directly or do I pay the dept collector?
If I pay it how do I guarantee that it'll be considered paid on their end?
