Issue: Communication tactics
Subissue: Frequent or repeated calls
Consumer Complaint: I received a call at XXXX CST XXXX/XXXX/2016 from XXXX, when answered, there was no one on the other end of the line, then the call disconnected from the caller 's end, forcing me to call back. When I finally got in touch with someone, I do n't feel they properly verified my information prior to disclosing what the call was regarding, then proceeded to attempt to collect a debt that is no longer in collections on my credit report. I view my credit report monthly, and can assure that this particular item fell off months ago. I advised the representative that this was no longer listed on my credit report and did n't want to be contacted again. I also filed 2 different change of addresses forwarding all mail from my previous address to the XXXX XXXX that I had, then to my current residence. I did n't receive any mail regarding this account after I moved, even though they should have received notice of the change. I then received a call from XXXX at XXXX CST XXXX/XXXX/2016, when answered, there was no one on the other end and the call disconnected from the caller 's end, again forcing me to call back. Called in, and rather than repeating myself with all of the same information listed above, I told the person that they have the wrong number. I should n't have to lie about who I am to get unwanted calls to stop. I work in a business that has to be up to date on collection laws at all times, and if the customer states that they do n't want to be called, the company is responsible for maintaining that request, not calling from another call center across the continent.

Consumer Complaint: Upon moving from Oklahoma, I canceled my cable service with XXXX XXXX and returned the equipment to their local store location. I paid the final bill in full and all was to have been finished with the cable provider, XXXX XXXX. To my surprise, I receive a bill in the mail from the cable company saying I owe them for an unpaid balance on the account. After many phone calls it was settled as an oversight of payments due to XXXX files being created for my cable account. The amount was actually a credit of {$93.00} and was refunded to me in a check. However, XXXX XXXX sold the balance as a debt leading to issues with a collection company XXXX XXXX XXXX for a debt of {$93.00} from XXXX XXXX. After filing proof of the credit and pay off of the balance with CFPB that debt was to have been removed from both the debt collectors system on XX/XX/2015 at XXXX as well as XXXX XXXX XXXX. Recently, I received a collection notice in the mail from a new debt collector IC Systems trying to claim the same debt for XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$93.00} when there is no actual debt to collect. Enclosed is a copy of the refunded check from XXXX XXXX and a Copy of the Notice of Collection from IC Systems.
