Verizon North Inc
Paid Collection for Service Never Received, Credit Rating Damaged

I wish to dispute the claim of Verizon North, Inc which has been present on my credit report since August 1. Upon setting up service with Verizon North, a phone-service provider, I found that I was not receiving service in my apartment. The issue was communicated to Verizon North by myself. I ended the service but Verizon North still requested payment for the month they had recorded service. I fought the issue until I received a letter as well as numerous calls (at all times of the day AND night) from a collection agency. I immediately paid the fee to the collection agency at that point.

At the time I was in no way aware of the severity of the incident. Since that point I've come to be more informed of the importance of a good credit rating. I've taken the hit of higher interest rates and lower credit limits and have worked to improve my credit score.

I believe this incident was a clear sign of companies (both Verizon and the collection agency) abusing their power.
