Debt collection: Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)

Debt was paid
Complaint: I had a utility bill that was sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - I paid this back on XXXX/XXXX/2015. I went to apply for a mortgage loan and found out that now CBE group is trying to collect on this. I provided them all the documents and called and asked them to remove this account because it was not my fault. They said NO - we will update this to Closed. How can they report something let alone try to collect on something that I already paid to another collection agency. This is now stopping me from getting my home loan. I am prepared to file a legal suit against them if I have to. I just want the account removed off my credit.

Debt is not mine
Complaint: I have an ongoing billing dispute with XXXX XXXX, that they have never actually acknowledged. XXXX has reported the account in question as a collection record to all three credit bureaus, blatantly disregarding the XXXX. With that matter still under investigation and my lawyer currently pursuing the deletion of this record from my credit reports, I received a collection notice from a XXXX party collection agency on XXXX/XXXX/2015, demanding payment for this same account in the amount of said {$780.00}. It 's essentially 'double jeopardy ' in the credit realm. Considering the express fact that I do NOT owe XXXX XXXX any money at all and the ongoing FTC and legal complaints, it is highly inappropriate for XXXX XXXX to assign this account to yet another third party collection agency. NOT TO MENTION that XXXX XXXX is still attempting to harass me to collect on this same account. This is the XXXX time XXXX has " sold '' this account to another collection agency. This is absurd.
