Talked to a third party about my debt
Complaint: I am an XXXX citizen currently living in XXXX I had a phone account with XXXX. In XX/XX/2014, I contacted XXXX to turn my phone service off ; however, they continued to keep it on and after XXXX attempts of calling over a period of months they charged me for the time they incorrectly kept my line open, as well as a disconnection fee. Now, they have sold the " debt '' to a debt collector. I have attempted to contact the debt collector via email on multiple occasions, but they do not provide a phone number that I can call from a foreign number. They continue to send messages asking for the money, though. Please help. I feel like 1 ) This debt is heavy given the circumstances, and 2 ) The debt collector has made it nearly impossible for me to communicate with them from abroad so we can agree on a best way forward.

Debt is not mine
Complaint: I have an unfair negative factor towards my credit on my credit reports reported by CBE group. The information below for " Negative Factors of my credit '', indicates a collection agency CBE Group indicated in XXXX date filed or first reported and the date last reported was on XXXX as a negative factor towards my credit report. This is is false information and I 'm disputing it. The only payment dispute I had was in XXXX. Back then, I had discontinued a portion of my XXXX services that involves XXXX. I paid in full through XXXX for discontinuing the XXXX service XXXX that was offered through XXXX 's advertisement and payment through XXXX 's billing. XXXX came back to bully me for an additional {$250.00} to be paid to them while XXXX indicated as far as they were concerned I was paid in full. Prior to this, I had only had communication with XXXX for this TV satellite service and XXXX refused to correct XXXX. I then refused to additionally pay XXXX the {$250.00} and XXXX has haunted me since via various collection agencies attempts originated by them since XXXX. Now this new credit issue on my record ( see below ) indicates a new development in XXXX is absolutely false. If this new dispute of XXXX has originated by my past dispute with XXXX then it 's time for them to stop harassing me via by falsifying information as an attempt to lower my credit rating. I suspect there has to be a law that makes this criminal business practices or at the very least extreme negligence by XXXX whose joint venture with XXXX while both were acting as XXXX entity under XXXX advertising and billing. __________ ( info from credit report ) -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- NEGATIVE FACTORS Your most recent collection account is 1 year and 3 months old.
