I closed an account XXXX for cable services when moving out of my mothers townhome located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, CO XXXX XX/XX/XXXX The balance was paid in full and the equipment returned. Never received any information XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from a collections company stating that I needed to pay over {$440.00} because XXXX had turn a collection account on me for an unpaid bill. I do n't keep bills for these many years, so I had no way to verify that the account was taken care of. When I refused to make the payment and they told me that my credit will stay messed up until I paid the debt so I made the payment but the bad credit report still there. I am a poor student, I do n't have money to make XXXX even richer. While reading reviews on the collection company 's website, it sounds like XXXX has a scam going on with ENHANCE RECOVERY CORPORATION, to steal money from consumers. This is their information : Enhanced Recovery CorporationXXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXXThe account in question with them is XXXX. 
Someone needs to stop this type of activities to prevent businesses from monopolizing and taking advantage of consumers. This action on their part has caused my credit to be ruin. I am a decent citizen, working part time and going to school XXXX ; I still live with my parents because I ca n't afford to live on my own. I do not need the start of my adult independent life, to initiate with bad credit to affect my possibilities to request credit for the most basic needs in life such as car or home purchases. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
