Credit Protection Association, L.P. Debt collection department,

Other (phone, health club, etc.) Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed Debt was paid District of Columbia

This complaint is a corollary of my complaint about -, case number : -. Even assuming I owed -, the last due date presented was - -, 2015. There was no default or delinquency present when Credit Protection Association began calling and mailing me, which was PRIOR to the due date of - -, 2015. Thus Credit Protection Association was attempting to collect a debt they had no legal right to collect and their conduct constitutes an illegal practice and harassment. Details follow below. On - -, 2015 I moved from - - attempted to transfer my service but was unable to do so, and so I cancelled all my services on - -, 2015. I called twice to verify that the cancellation had occurred and was effective as of - -. Because I had already paid for the entire month of -, I was due a refund of $21.00. I later discovered that - failed to disconnect all my services on - - as I asked, when I was subsequently billed for internet service which was not disconnected until - -, 2015. I received a bill dated - -, 2015 in the amount of $36.00 due - -. I


of $36.00. This bill had no due date, but instead said Due Now ''. I filed a complaint with -. They put me in contact with - 's Executive Customer Relations Department. On - -, 2015 I received a call from - - of -. He called to inform me that a credit of $36.00 had been applied to my account, and that I had a zero balance. On - -, 2015 I received a letter from a company called Credit Protection Association ( CPA ) dated - -, 2015 that said - had turned the account over to them for collection. I called - - on - -, 2015 to inquire about this letter, but my call was not returned. As far as I am able to determine, I - received a call from CPA on - -, 2015, the day my account was allegedly credited. I continued to receive phone calls from Credit Protection Association ( CPA ) until my check for $36.00 to - was cashed. I do n't know if this affair is the result of deception or just the workings of a large bureaucracy, but I am curious about the legality of - sending my account to a collections agency even though I had not defaulted, nor was I delinquent, and after I was told the balance was zero. On - -, 2015 I contacted - 's Executive Customer Relations Department to inquire about getting back my $36.00, however that call has not been returned. I have copies of every bill mentioned in this letter, as well as the voice mail from - - stating that I have a zero balance on - -, 2015. I also have the printout of a screen shot from - -, 2015 of another - representative informing me on - that a credit for $36.00 had been placed on my account and I had a zero balance. If this was deception, it sure worked, because after all this I 've all but given up on getting my original refund of $21.00, while - was able to extract $36.00 more from me all the while claiming I did n't owe them money! Note : I may be spelling - - 's name incorrectly, as I am guessing the spelling based on hearing him say it. He can be reached at -.
