Complaint:
Hello : I need assistance or advice in how to address this issue with XXXX XXXX XXXX please : On the below dates I corresponded with a collection agency to dispute an illegitimate charge against me and the dispute was not accepted by the XXXX company, without explanation as to any reason. I am willing to obtain legal help if necessary, to keep this from being placed against my credit. Could you please advise me as to how to handle this situation? 

XX/XX/2019 I am disputing this XXXX XXXX XXXX account # XXXX for the following reasons : 1. I have called approximately 8 times to discuss this bill with the Billing Department at XXXX XXXX XXXX and have spoken to XXXX in the Collection department there at least 1 time on XX/XX/2019. XXXX said that she was switching me back to the Billing Department, because, you dont need to talk to collections. This needs to be handled by billing, because I am looking in the record and I see that you do not owe this bill. I was switched to a XXXX, in Billing, who said that the case had been closed, but she was reopening it and sending to someone for resolution, and I would hear something in 24-48hrs. Needless to say, I did not hear anything back. I have been given several adjustment case numbers since this started in XX/XX/2019 : CM XXXX ; CM XXXX 2. On at two of  these many occasions, I was told to go back to the store and ask that they put in a Tracking Number for the phones. Therefore, I first visited the office on XX/XX/19 and turned the equipment in to them. That time, I spoke with Cashier, XXXX XXXX, Cashier Drawer XXXX, Transaction ID XXXX. I received a bill, so I called XXXX Billing and spoke with XXXX, on XX/XX/19. I was told by XXXX to go back to the store where I returned the two phones and get them to, notate the account because the return is not showing in the XXXX   system. I got to the store and I was told that the problem had to be with me porting my phone numbers back and they would take care of it, because I had initially ported those numbers from XXXX to XXXX and I just took my same phone numbers back. Well. I received more bills, and when I again called XXXX Billing, I was told to go back to the store again, so off I went. This time ( XX/XX/2019 ), I spoke with XXXX XXXX, Assistant Sales Manager,  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. He apologized and explained that my record was not showing me owing a bill. He turned the computer monitor around and showed my account record to myself and my husband, and said, see, you can look right here and it shows a XXXX balance. He also said that I should not worry about any bills received from XXXX XXXX XXXX because the system would probably continue sending them for a while longer, so just ignore them. 

3. The contract that I signed explicitly said that that if I wanted to cancel the service contract and return the equipment, I could do so within 14 days of the signing of said contract. I did decide to cancel this contract and returned the equipment within a 12 day period. I kept the phones and the service from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. I was told by one person in Billing that my claim for Buyers Remorse, had been denied and no explanation was given. She said she was going to re-open the case. 

Can someone PLEASE help resolve this..
