I have provided proof of the Payments, and Port of the paid in full phone to a new carrier to all collection agencies who have tried to collect, all of which, but XXXX, was denied and sent back to the creditor. Our proof was enough. 

Now I see a tradeline for another collection agency on my report. I did not receive a notification to dispute, and dispute that it's even still being tried to be collected. 

Please note, XXXX provided us the PIN needed to allow us to transfer the phone to the new carrier. That in its self-shows it was paid in full without a balance due. I have yet to see why they think we owe this.

The collection agent stressed that I needed to pay immediately the amount of {$900.00} and then go to the police station and file charges on my daughter in law. After explaining I do not have that amount of money, she lowered it to {$510.00}. She told me that if it wasn't paid right then then the attorney 's would file the suit against me and take any measure to secure the payment, lien on my house or freeze my bank account and more things along that line. She could see that my credit was good and she didn't want this to be a bad mark on my credit so I needed to pay immediately. I would not pay without speaking to my husband and us trying to contact our son. I was finally able to get off the phone with her, without just hanging up.
