Beginning in XXXX XXXX sent approximately XXXX different statements with varying balances. When I requested a statement in XXXX XXXX sent me a packet with past bills that have been paid but failed to send m the itemized bills. Also between the months of XXXX and XXXX I spoke with XXXX XXXX about my bill and informed them that I would make small payments to keep my account from going delinquent or into collections until I received my final itemized statement. Instead of sending my statement XXXX sent my account to collections in XXXX. When I contacted the outside collections agency regarding my account they stated that XXXX uses them as a third party collection agency to collect on a debt and then explained that XXXX has charged off the debt. I explained my situation to the customer service representative and she stated that she would cease all collection efforts until further notification. She then reported to me that their agency does not report to the credit bureaus that XXXX does. I contacted XXXX and informed them that I never received my final statement so I can submit payment. They customer service representative referenced a large packet that was sent to me through US mail regarding all my statements with XXXX. I informed her that I only receive a packet with old statements dating back to XXXX 2015, I then made another request for a final itemized statement from XXXX which included the cancellation fees for both the mobile numbers and the tablets. Several weeks have passed and I still have not received the final itemized statement.

I contacted XXXX XXXX who stated that they had no access to my account and the on XXXX XXXX, 2015 my account had been sold to Collecto Inc at XXXX. The XXXX XXXX customer service representative then confirmed that the final statement was not attached to the last mailed statement and agreed to send me a final bill via US mail again. She stated that it would be sent to me within 10 to 15 business days. Before ending the phone call she stated that once I receive the bill to call XXXX back.
