Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX, I opened an account with XXXX for a line of service. After years of continuous calls to the company because I was not able to receive adequate service i.e. dropped calls, no service at time. Each time, XXXX continue to promise to rectify the problems by putting up new towers in my area, this never happened. In XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX agreed to release me from my contract with no money due. I checked my credit report in XX/XX/XXXX to see that my closed account with XXXX had been sold to a collection agency and placed on my credit report with derogatory comments. I was never notified prior to it being placed on my credit report in writing nor by phone. They just started with the harrassing phone calls in XX/XX/XXXX. From XX/XX/XXXX until now, I have called the collection agency trying to explain to them what happened, they told me I had to call XXXX. I have called XXXX. XXXX no longer has the account because that 's been some 10 years ago and due to their agreement with me. They account was suppose to be paid in full. I 've been back and forth with this collection agency. They are calling me two and three times a day 6 days a week. I 've tried to explain to each representative that call me to no avail sometimes they are just downright rude.

Consumer Complaint: On XXXX/XXXX/17 I spoke with several reps within the company in told me several different stories, I was desperate to get the report off my credit & ERC advised me in XXXX that I would have to pay to have it removed. I sent a letter requesting if I paid the debt I was n't admitting I owned the debt but that I wanted it removed quickly. When I called today I was advised the fraudulent charges would not be removed and that even if I made payment they would still report on my credit profile. I was then referred to the Office of Presidency and was told to request for my letter of deletion. I spoke with, XXXX XXXX - supervisor and Rep XXXX XXXX. When I called this department I was sent to a voicemail. I then called ERC back and spoke with XXXX washington - he advised me that the account was in fraud status and that they were not going to delete the account. When I asked him what the department of presidency did he placed me on hold without any notification and XXXX XXXX - supervisor said the account when into dispute in XXXX of 2017 and as of XXXX/XXXX/2017 the account was placed in fraud status and the department of presidency would be able to advise me when the account would be deleted. This company is reporting inaccurate information on my credit profile with out any real proof of me ever owing the debt. Below I attached information sent, they do n't even have the correct information providing proof the debt is mine and accurate.

Consumer Complaint: I cancelled service with XXXX due to poor customer service, poor phone coverage, and had a second user whom I did not know on the phone number XXXX which was supposed to be a unique number for me. In short, I received text messages from XXXX for sales pitches that I did not request and specifically requested by text and by mail that XXXX not contact me via text with any sales pitches due to the limited memory of my phone and my need for text messages due to hearing loss. I also received several pornographic pictures though it is not clear where those pictures were sent from as no phone number was attached. I informed XXXX that I would cancel my service if any more text messages were received and if they did not clear up the second user of that same phone number. I did NOT have a contract as my phone was my own and I paid for monthly service. I have now received a dunning notice for ERC claiming I owe {$160.00} for XXXX, and I also received a phone call from someone claiming to be from XXXX on XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX from XXXX requesting payment. I NEVER owed {$160.00} and this would be for multiple months after I cancelled service with XXXX. I am really pissed that this substandard company with documented complaints continues to harass me.

Consumer Complaint: My wife called ERC Monday on XXXX.17 in order to get information about a a debt reporting on my credit report. She explained that the equipment was stolen and asked for contact person and phone number directly to XXXX XXXX XXXX, so that we could call them and resolve this matter. She spoke with XXXX XXXX, he refused to give her any information to contact the creditor. He just kept trying to get us to settle. What she tried to explain to him was we should n't be paying for equipment that was stolen, she did n't think it would be such an issue to get information so that we could figure out what exactly is going on with this account. Being that equipment was stolen, I do not understand how ERC is trying to collect on stolen equipment. XXXX stated that we could pay settlement or that he would open a dispute with XXXX. However, I have no paper trail or confirmation that this is actually happening which cause grave concerns for me. She asked him how long would the dispute take with XXXX, his response was I am not sure. They can take as long as they need to respond to dispute.
