Narrative (may be redacted).

I had cable with XXXX XXXX XXXX when lived in XXXX. I only lived in XXXX for nine months. I moved to XXXX. I turned in all of my cable equipment. IN XXXX of XXXX. I received a collection notice from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating I owe a balance of {$320.00}. I made a payment arrangement with them. I paid {$110.00} ON XXXX/XXXX/XXXX AND THEN on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I paid the remaining balance of {$220.00}. The approval code as XXXX. I also have the proof because i paid out of my XXXX checking account. I pulled my credit report and have a collection account from FOCUS RECEIVABLES Management on behalf of XXXX XXXX stating I owe {$420.00}. This account states it is opened XXXX of XXXX. I am so upset because now I have another company stating I owe monies that I have proof is paid. I am currently under investigation to obtain employment with the XXXX. I have paid all my financial obligations. i disputed the item on my credit report and will call credit bureau in the morning. Please assist in this matter. If an account is paid in full. Why would another collection agency be able to try to collect on a debt already paid! This is fraud and very confusing. I will be happy to pull my bank statement and show balance was paid in full! I also have a copy of the original credit collection service whom i paid. Thank you.
