Complaint:
On  XX/XX/XXXX , I opened an account with  XXXX  for cellular service. After a few days, I decided that this was not a good plan for me. I closed the account and return all the equipment on  XX/XX/XXXX . On  XX/XX/XXXX , I received the first notice relating to this matter from  McCarthy, Burgess and Wolff.  I never received any communication from  XXXX . After receiving that first noticed, I immediately called  XXXX , spoke to  XXXX  #  XXXX , she stated that she could not pull the records and that I would need to speak to a lawyer. She transferred me to th e Collection Agency,  I spoke to  XXXX   (  operator ), and she then transferred me to  XXXX   XXXX  (  XXXX  ext  XXXX . I explained that this should never had been sent to collections, because all the equipment was returned on  XX/XX/XXXX . Furthermore, the  XXXX  statements have the wrong address. That is not my address, nor as it ever been.  XXXX  stated that she would submit a dispute on my behalf. Then, on  XX/XX/XXXX  I called and spoke to  XXXX , she said that the dispute was never done by  XXXX   XXXX . She said that she would put in the dispute and that I need to wait 30 days. I asked to speak to the supervisor  XXXX   XXXX  ext  XXXX . Explained the situation, he said that he would call me back, but he never did. I called him back on  XX/XX/XXXX , where I had to repeat the issue to him, he said that he needed to file the dispute again. He could not give a time frame for resolution. He was unethical and did not do what he said he would do. The bottom line is that that  XXXX  put me in collections unlawfully, which impacted my credit report for equipment that was returned on  XX/XX/XXXX . I have attempted to resolve this matter with the collection agency and  XXXX , but neither is responding accordingly. I should have never been put in collections for this matter. Furthermore, the impact on the credit report effected my ability to get business loans for my business.

They are also reporting my account to the various credit reporting agencies as past due. I have tried to resolve this matter in writing and by calling their customer service department. The person I talked with on the phone says that the {$400.00} is simply not a deposit but a credit line. She would not accept the fact that it is money that I deposited and refused to help me.
