The complaint is against one of the Telephone/Internet companies in PR ( XXXX ). The service was cancelled on the XX/XX/XXXX due to bad service ( various reports of interruption in the service, delays in follow up and time the repair job was coordinated and completed and the charge for a service was not given ). Even though all those issues, I had to wait until the end of the contract to cancel the service. Due to the fact that I signed for a service that I never received. That is, I extended the contract agreement to have an upgrade in the internet velocity to find out the service was not available to the area of residence. So, I had to wait on a contract to expire when the service was not provided. The service was cancelled on the above mentioned date and I remember asking the Account Representative to give me the ending balance as of that day. I asked her if she could do that and agreed upon the final payment. The payment was done and the Service Cancellation - Client Receipt was issued. To my surprise I received a letter stating that I had a debt for {$23.00} from the internal collection agency of XXXX ( CICA Collection Agency , Inc. ) dated XX/XX/XXXX. Called XXXX and was told that the debt came after a final audit. What audit do they need when you can see all the records online? Besides, that was something worked at the time of cancellation, not otherwise. Where do I raise the flag and think about this being a fraudulent tactic and something to bring to the attention of the authorities and for an audit not only of my account but other accounts? When in a conversation with other office workers at lunch they told me they had a similar issue once they cancelled the account and something like {$23.00} was the amount owed after a final audit. Since it was a small amount the paid it and forgot about it. Once again, I am convinced the charge is not a valid one, more so, is a fraudulent one requiring an investigation.

A call about a debt notice was received by an elderly family member, who was harassed in order to get my mail address and phone number. I called the debt collection agency to understand what was the debt about, given that I have n't live in XXXX XXXX since XXXX and sporadically since XXXX. It was debt that I did not recognize. As a federal employee, I have multiple background checks and have all payments up-to date, and that debt have n't appear in my background check. I stated that I wanted evidence of that debt. They ( XXXX collection ) sent me a letter with no evidence which I replied with a certified letter that I do n't recognize the debt and to stopped the contact. Every call I got ( with threat and harassment of court ) is from a different person even the letter signature and the person that sign the certified letter are not the same. However, this agency harassed with calls my elderly family member even more and they sent a new letter, from legal area, which was very strange since it has contradicting language and no evidence. I contacted my XXXX and they put an alert in my credit as they did not find this normal conduct. As a resolution, I do not recognize this debt, stop harassment and any collection toward myself and my family. I understand this is a case of identity theft ( as XXXX XXXX suggested ).
