i tried to open a phone service but wasn't home when they came to connect it. but i have been reciving a bill for $5.12 from different long distance company. i had called and they asked me to send them verification that i didn't have the service connected. they said >5 times that they would take the charges off but i am still reciving a bill. it is not on my credit report yet. i was wondering what sort of letter i should send to them? and what steps i should take? i just started trying to repair my credit. and i have a bunch of ?'s , but this is the first. any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks all
"YOU" have to PROVE you don't have phone service??? HOW ABOUT THEM PROVING THAT YOU DO HAVE PHONE SERVICE!!!
Do you have a phone number assigned?????? How are you supposed to NOT mail a bill? Maybe take a picture with no phones in your house???? Maybe your local service provider can send you a letter that your service isn't connected. Too weird.
You might also send a letter to your Public Utilities Commision, summarizing the situation and all communication and their failure to correct, to start establishing a paper trail.
I just called this company again. and they said that there accounting debt was zeroing out the debt. and that next month we should not receive a bill.
