My cell phone contract ended XXXX of 2012 (? it may be XXXX ). I paid the final bill in XXXX. Approximately one year later I received a collection notice that I owed the cell phone company {$330.00}. I do not owe them anything. After XXXX phone calls over the past couple of years ( yes, years ) the cell phone representative discovered that a new 2 yr contract had been started in the month of XXXX or XXXX. This is completely wrong. My daughter had lost her phone, I had another phone I purchased off of XXXX, I have the receipt for this other phone. I called the cell phone company ( XXXX maybe ) to move her phone number over to this new phone I had purchased on XXXX. When the number was transferred it created a new 2 yr agreement as if I had purchased the phone from THEM, but I did not, so this XXXX 2 yr contract should never have been started, but I was completely unaware of it. I have contacted the collection agency that sent bills to me. I explained what happened and they said it was n't their job to fix it. The collection agency somehow transferred me to the cell phone company. As I was explaining it, she put me on hold and we were disconnected. I called the collection agency back the next day. Out of frustration I explained, again, about the 2 yr contract that should not have been made and I just wanted to get this done with, it had been XXXX years. Even though it was a mistake by the cell phone company I was tired of dealing with it and offered to pay a portion of the bill if that would end it. The collection agency representative agreed. I asked to have the derogatory marks removed from my credit report ( XXXX pages from this XXXX collection ). This was also agreed upon. I told her I will be making a reference to our agreement on my check because she could n't offer me anything to secure our agreement. I sent a check with a notation written on it about our agreement ( I have a copy ). So, the account was taken care of. I contacted the credit reporting agency recently and the derogatory marks were NOT removed as agreed upon. I filed a claim with the reporting agency. They told me, after the investigation, that it is all perfectly fine and will not be removed! Now, I noticed there 's also a notation at the beginning of the XXXX pages, from this XXXX collection agency, that states " only half of the account was paid ''! That was our agreement! I was n't even responsible for this wrong bill but I was soooo tired of it I paid XXXX, and it did n't even fix anything! This is so completely wrong and frustrating! I have ALL the receipts and the check with our agreement on it, cashed by them. It feels like the cell phone company is just being vindictive and trying to harm my public profile, when they were wrong.
