1. XX/XX/XXXX- XXXX XXXX ad promised internet service packaged with cable service with XXXX XXXX. We bit. The initial bills were from the firm with whom I contracted, XXXX XXXX, being account number ending XXXX ( See Exhibit 1 ). Later, XXXX XXXX passed the buck and the bills started from XXXX XXXX, account number ending XXXX. 
2. No modem and no service from either firm for almost 2 months -- the XXXX XXXX bills did n't stop, however. I attempted to contact XXXX XXXX many times. Understand, that each contact with XXXX XXXX takes hours because, when you finally get to a real person who knows anything, they tell you that the problem is with XXXX XXXX ; and, you go through the same menus and wrong assistants again. 
3. One problem turned-out to be that the XXXX XXXX modem was sent to the wrong address ( although the billings all came to the correct address ) maybe 4-5 times. As stated, the billing continued with no service. I complained to XXXX XXXX and spoke with XXXX XXXX in the XXXX XXXX XXXX office on XX/XX/XXXX, who promised to resolve the matter ( conversation confirmed by email from XXXX, See Exhibit 2 ). 
3. That never happened but I finally got the modem. Installed it. Discovered that XXXX XXXX had not enabled internet service. That made the whole " deal '' useless. After futile attempts to get through all the menus and unqualified personnel to get the contracted-for internet service, I cancelled the whole deal. I did go through the menus again and got the prepaid mailer to return the modem ( returned via USPS, See Exhibit 3 ). Then, I had XXXX install service for the cable and internet service ; and have not had a problem since. 
4. XXXX XXXX has directly dunned me directly for amounts ranging from approx. {$400.00} - {$700.00}. Then, XXXX, XXXX got the collection account ; then XXXX XXXX, then XXXX XXXX XXXX, finally Enhanced Recovery Co. ( ERC ). My standard response to XXXX XXXX and to each collection firm was tell them that the services were not earned ; and, that XXXX XXXX would get paid when a judge ordered payment ( i.e. 'sue me ' ). These were notes done in Sharpie pen on their dun notices ( see, for example, recent response : Exhibit 4 ). 
5. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX made an unauthorized charge on my VISA for {$430.00} -- which was protested and credited-back after investigation by XXXX ( see Exhibit 5 ). Regardless, I kept getting dun letters from ERC. 
5. I wrote ERC on XX/XX/XXXX ( see Exhibit 6 ), telling them to sue me so I could countersue. No response. 
6. After another dun letter, on XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote XXXX XXXX of ERC ( see Exhibit 7 ) demanding that ERC cease communication pursuant to 15 United States Code Sec. 1692 ( c ). 
7. The only response to the XXXX letter was another dun dated XX/XX/XXXX ( see Exhibit 8 ), saying in part, " Even though this account was previously disputed pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1692g [ sic ], we are required to notify you that.. .Unless you dispute the validity of the debt.. .within 30 days.. .the debt will be assumed to be valid by us. '' I am tired of doing the same protest each time. They can not be correct. The law says that they must cease communication. 

Kindly assist me in this matter. 

Thank you.
