Narrative (may be redacted).

XXXX XXXX XXXX keeps trying to charge me for a month of service after I canceled my service on XXXX XXXX 2015. I returned my rented modem in the store and was told that my account was settled up, my auto payment was cancelled and that I would be billed for approximately {$28.00} on or about the XXXX XXXX 2015. On XXXX XXXX 2015 I was charged for the entire amount of $ XXXXXXXXI called on or about the XXXX of XXXX and asked why I was charged the full amount. XXXX informed me that this was an error and that I would be receiving a check for {$42.00} in the mail. On XXXX XXXX 2015 I was charged an additional {$71.00}. A few days later when I called XXXX I spoke to a few different representatives. First representative told me it was for my XXXX services since XXXX always bills a month in advance. Their website confirms this XXXX. The second representative told me that my services were still online because I did not turn in my modem, I informed them that I had and they said " oh yeah it looks like you have. '' I asked to speak with the next level manager who then told me at first that it was for my XXXX services. I informed them that I had canceled on the XXXX of XXXX and they then switched their story to " right you need to pay for the entire month of XXXX '' when I asked why it was n't Pro-rated they told me you pay after the services are consumed not before, a direct contradiction to my bill, their website, and the previous representatives. I was told their manager would call me back they never did. After a few more days I filed a dispute with XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX investigated the dispute and determined that the bill was not in fact mine. After XXXX lost the dispute I got a bill in the mail for my cable service for the month of XXXX and they have submitted the entire amount to a debt collection company. I am paid up and keep getting different stories from their representatives on the phone.
