Dear CFPB, I first want to thank you for all that you do to protect the interests of consumers. It was past time that a government agency was needed for this purpose. That said, I will provide you with the details of my complaint : XXXX misrepresented the status of the account to me and assured me on many occasions that the balance was not owed. I closed my XXXX account on XXXX XXXX, 2014 and was assured that the account was paid in full. I have never been delinquent on an account. I was told that I needed to return the router and that a box would be sent by the company so I could mail the router. I received a bill for about {$150.00} a few months later and called to question why I had received it. Again, I was assured by XXXX representatives that I did not owe the amount and that I simply needed to return the router once I received the box to return it in. I received the box in XXXX and returned the router and again questioned the bills and XXXX told me the return of the router would fix the balance. The next letter I received was from a collection agency. I decided to pay the balance with the assurance from XXXX representatives that my credit would not be impacted, seeking to have the balance returned once I found out whether it was owed. I applied for student loan refinancing and was turned away due to this single outstanding delinquent account. Please remove this from my credit report and tell me ( 1 ) how long I have to wait before it is removed, ( 2 ) how I can remove it from other reports or request the same and ( 3 ) how I can hold XXXX accountable for what they have done to me. 

Best Regards, XXXX XXXX XXXX
