Debt is not mine
Complaint: XXXX kept charging me for an account that was closed. They intimidated me since I disputed the bill with my XXXX account. ried Basically, XXXX tried to ruin my credit rating by reporting me to credit agencies. I never received a letter any other correspondence that they would take this aggresive tactic. I ended up having to pay the {$94.00} charge to keep my excellent credit rating which is unfair and a shakedown. I live in XXXX, XXXX for the past year and have spent a lot of money on the phone trying to resolve this dispute. It is a matter of principle in my mind not to be taken advantage by XXXX collection practises. Thank you for hearing my complaint.
