Complaint:
I called XXXX XXXX last XXXX XXXX with my ex husband present to get the bill out of my name since we were getting divorced. We called XXXX XXXX and spoke to a rep and told them that he was taking over the services since I was moving from the Residence. In XXXX XXXX I received a letter stating that I was sent to collections for unpaid debt to XXXX XXXX. I called XXXX and told them that I have n't lived at that residence since XXXX XXXX and that my ex husband and I called in XXXX to have services changed in his name and that this was not my responsibility it was his. The guy I spoke with told me that the notes noted on the account corresponded with what I was telling him and all I needed to do was write a letter stating what happened and when and that we put the services in his name and that he would be responsible for any payment. The bill was up to date when I left there. Then just this past Monday evening XXXX XXXX XXXX I received another letter in the mail saying that I was sent to another collection agency from XXXX XXXX. I called the Agency XXXX XXXX account # XXXX and spoke with XXXX and told them the same thing and that I submitted everything they told me to do back in XXXX and that we both called in XXXX to have the services put in his name. I was told that they could not help me and that I needed to contact dish so I did. I called dish at the # he provided XXXX. I spoke with XXXX first and he told me he was going to transfer me to the assistant president XXXX. XXXX told me that everything I said was noted and that I did change the billing information but the equipment was still in my name. XXXX had cancelled the services and has not returned the equipment. I told XXXX that I was not responsible for anything that we had called back in XXXX to have it put in his name. XXXX told me yes you did but you did not the equipment and that there was nothing he could do. I said I am not paying for something that I done exactly what I was supposed to do and that who would change just the billing info and not the equipment that was not right and why would they do people that way. He said that is how there company works and I said yes trying to mess people out of their money and that is not right. I told him that I could contact the XXXX Consumer Financial Protection bureau and the att ; General. He said that he still is not going to change anything because I threaten to go to them and I told him that was not threat I was going to especially since this has made my credit score drop. The reason I know my credit has drop is because I just applied for a loan to buy a house and my credit score was lower. The bank lender and I could not figure out why and then I received this letter, so that explained it. I work to hard for my money and my credit to have it ruined. I need this fixed and made right ASAP or told what I need to do to get it done. Please contact me at XXXX or XXXX and let me know. Thank you for you time.
