Company: ONLINE Information Services, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I contacted Online Information Services on XX/XX/year>, at approximately XXXX XXXX. I recently learned of a debt on my credit report. My divorce was final 3 months ago, and this collection from Online Information Services is for electricity used by my ex-husband, after I left the home. The debt is {$610.00}, but they are asking for {$950.00} siting fees. I agreed to pay their over {$300.00} in fees, and asked for a letter of deletion to remove the collection from my credit report. I was trying to offer them copies of the legal documentation that states, the house belongs to my ex-husband, however under Texas law, you can not terminate utilities while you are separated, and the utilities were in my name. All you can do legally is ask the spouse to put them in their own name. My ex-husband didn't do that until the utility company shut it off for nonpayment, apparently. 

I'm absolutely willing to pay the debt, but need it deleted from my report. My initial interaction was with a gentleman named XXXX, who was very friendly, and transferred me to his XXXX, XXXX. XXXX was rude, unprofessional, unwilling to discuss this with me, and laughed at me for trying to resolve this.
