Consumer Complaint: I am currently XXXX and have an issue with XXXX XXXX. My spouse had a family plan with XXXX XXXX that we were unable to keep due to transferring XXXX. In XXXX, they do not have XXXX XXXX service. So, my spouse spoke to both representatives on the phone and in store from XXXX XXXX. We presented them with our Change of XXXX letter that stated we were moving from XXXX to XXXX. The employee my wife spoke to over the phone assured her that our account would be closed out with no outstanding debt. His information is as follows : XXXX XXXX Employee ID # XXXX. Her conversation lasted around 3 hours on the phone and she was assured that there was absolutely no outstanding balance and that we were good to go for our transition to XXXX. We have tried since to resolve the issue again with XXXX XXXX, but they have gone back on their original terms and now say that we owe them {$240.00}.

Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX agreed to install cable internet service at my residence. They came to the residence, put up wires, but the service was never functional. I informed them of this fact, they told me the only thing I could do was pay the outstanding bill for a month of service and then they could come out for a service call. They have since sent my account to debt collection. This does not seam fair as I never had working service from them, nor did I agree to pay them for service that they attempted to install before it was working. There is no written agreement between XXXX and myself so I am at a loss to explain why they are sending my account to collections or even how it is possible to send an account to collections based off of the non-contractual relationship we have.

Consumer Complaint: I paid a dept in full and was told that I would receive a written confirmation that the payment was made. After not receiving the confirmation, I have contacted the collection agency numerous times ; they promise to send the confirmation but never do so. Without it, I am fearful that this debt may remain on my credit report. I am also waiting for a loan to be approved from a XXXX XXXX and they will not process the loan until they receive a copy of the written confirmation. I have no confidence that the collection agency will provide me with this document unless they are compelled to do so.

Consumer Complaint: While checking my XXXX credit report. I discovered that a collection has been placed on my file for {$1900.00}. I personally contacted collection agency IC SYSTEM, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, MN XXXX, disputed the validity of the debt and requested under Fair Debt Collection Act ( 15 USC 1692g ), and requested that the Company provide me with any signed contract as well as billing invoices of the said unpaid bill within allowed time under the law. Upon belief and information, this account does not belong to me and/or may be as direct result of ID THEFT.It`s paramount that an investigation be conducted to determine the validity of the account. IC SYSTEM deliberately ignored my requests and has continued to proceed to collect on an unlawful debt without just cause, and as a direct result has caused me serious economic hardship and inability to secure employment or housing and/or obtain credit.

Consumer Complaint: I had power with XXXX in New York when I sold my house. I paid the bill on time and 12 months later I reported to the credit bureas by a collection agency. After sending numerous letters and calling XXXX many times the collection was removed. No 11 months later the same account appears again from a different collection company. Same account. Same amount. This was already removed from the bureaus and should not be put back on when it is removed per dispute. I am trying to refinance a loan and this is causing me to have to pay higher fees & interest rate. I have already contacted the credit bureau and ask that they remove it as well. You should n't allow collection agencies to abuse on people this way.
