We have received communications from a debt sold by XXXX XXXX. We disputed the accuracy of the debt several times directly with XXXX XXXX and they refused to correct the matter because we were no longer a client of theirs. 

They were billing us for services not used because they stated that it is their internal policy to bill their consumers for a complete month of service and not pro-rate their bill if they left the service. 

We had no contract and were not under any requirement to maintain service with XXXX. We do not feel that we are subject to their internal policies nor should they be permitted to charge us for services after our service was terminated. 

The main issue is them billing us for a full months of service after our service was terminated and we were not able to use it any longer. We were a customer of XXXX XXXX for more than XXXX years and left because they continued to raise their prices and were no longer competitive in the marketplace. We were never late, and called and gave them the option to retain our business and reduce our rates to be competitive. 

The associate handling our request told us that we should just go to the competitor because they were not willing to compete. 

XXXX assessed an ETF on XXXX of the lines even though we contacted them to cancel and advised them that we were cancelling without penalty due to a recent rate change. We received notification that we had the right to cancel without ETF if we notified them that we didnt agree with a recent increase.
