Consumer Narrative

On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX via text message, and by telephone ( cancellation department ) to request a cancellation of services. I requested that they send my the buyout amount, so that the account could be closed immediately. I was sent a cancellation agreement on XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX to complete via XXXX, and this was completed and returned. On XX/XX/XXXX I reached out to XXXX cancellation department after being sent from department to department, and spoke with representative XXXX, who informed that the amount that I needed to pay to close the account was {$130.00}, and she indicated that they would be providing a 20 % discount, as I informed that I was not working at the time. I inquired why I continued to receive so many different payoff amounts from XXXX and was transferred to XXXX ( cancellation department ) who then informed that the amount that needed to be paid was {$140.00} ( which was supposed to be 20 % less that {$170.00} ) another different amount from the last representative, letters, and emails from XXXX. I was informed that this payoff amount would be documented in the account to avoid further notices and phone calls from XXXX, and agreed to go to their portal following the phone call to pay {$140.00}. However, when I went to the portal to pay the final amount it indicated that they amount due was {$130.00}, which I paid ( confirmation # XXXX ). A month passed and then the phone calls to both myself and my husband continued numerous times a day, along with letters. On XX/XX/XXXX, after the continued phone calls and letters, I reached out to XXXX via text message and requested that they stop contacting me as I had already paid off the amount that they told me to pay to close the account on XX/XX/XXXX. I was told to contact the cancellation department again, and refused to, due to the numerous attempts and confusion that I had already dealt with. During the past 10 months we have received several letters from XXXX acknowledging the request for cancellation, as well as numerous offers to return at a lower amount, which is equally frustrating, since we have been making payments to XXXX since XXXX of XXXX. My husband and I received a phone call from " XXXX '' collection agency today requesting that I provide him with the reference number that he provided, along with the cancellation letter, the amount paid ( which he already was aware of ) and the last 4 digits of the card used to pay the {$130.00}. I am skeptical of providing this collection company with any information, outside of what was provided to them from XXXX.
