I made a settlement with a debt collection agency. I paid them the agreed amount, registered mail the day after the agreement. They got their money. They have had my payment for months which should have closed my account and been put on my credit as paid. However I call and they say I still owe the difference of our agreed amount. I have talked with many managers who tell me they will manually fix my account. I have called this agency over XXXX times and always i get the same excuse or some new reason as to why they have n't closed out my account. I am a single mom with no job I need my credit fixed so I can move. I call them at least XXXX a week and they say, our manage has to approve this before we can close your account as paid. I spoke with various " managers '' and I was told two weeks ago that within 4 days my account would be marked as paid and closed. That I would receive a letter in the mail that it was paid. I have not got a letter yet so I called them again today. They told me that someone canceled my request to have my account closed and that I still owed the balance of the difference. We settled upon XXXX a difference of XXXX of my original credit debt. I sent them the money order within a week and still they keep lying to me. I get different excuses every time I call. Please I just need help in getting this account closed. I paid them their money.
