During my time as an employee for XXXX, I was encouraged to open a Dealer or Concession line as my business contact number. I successfully opened an account and paid monthly according to my contract. Unfortunately that phone was stolen/lost by a fellow employee and I had documentation from XXXX to verify, it was ultimately reported as lost to the company and my superiors in a timely manner. I was told by my manager to open another line, as I would n't be eligible for employee discounts if I fully cancelled my original account for 3 to 6 months. I was instructed to use my social security number to open another type of employee discount account and did so without issue. I used this new account until I parted ways with the company. I was informed that all employee accounts would be terminated upon my leaving and that all devices had to be returned. I left my phone at my store location with my manager and called into employee care to verify the information he had given me, which they did. 

Nearly a year later I requested a credit check and saw that I had been sent to collections over a debt with XXXX. When I called in to see where the debt had originated I was bounced back and forth between XXXX and XXXX as neither said they could help me ; XXXX XXXX because I was a consumer, and XXXX because I had been an employee for the duration of my account. 

My current position allowed me to open an employee line with XXXX although they are NOT my employer, and I used this opportunity to begin a dialogue with someone who could possibly work on clearing up this debt from within the company. After weeks of telephone and email correspondence with the gentleman, I was offered the ability to pay off the debt and then be immediately reimbursed the money if I opened another account with XXXX. I felt immensely pressured to take the offer to save my credit but ultimately decided to pass, as I was n't comfortable being forced into signing another binding contract with the company to erase a debt that should never have occurred. 

Throughout the duration of this, going on two years, I have been called repeatedly by multiple Debt Collection Agencies each time the " debt '' is sold off to a new company. I 've been called at work, late in the evening, inappropriately early in the mornings, and now XXXX prompting me to submit a complaint XXXX a NEW company has begun calling my family members in other states.
