I was with Cingular Wireless for 2 years, fulfilled my contract and called them to confirm that I DID NOT want to renew my contract. I stated that I did not want to continue my service with them and I asked the representative if I would be billed for anything else. He said "NO."
All of a sudden I am receiving bills from a collection company who purchased an account from Cingular saying I owe $185.00! They even put it on my credit report! I called Cingular and they said that I, in fact, had this bill. I asked them what it was for and they said past charges I did not pay. This amount was never on any bill I had ever seen before. They said they could not take it off my credit report until I paid the amount. I proceeded to pay the amount, even though I felt as though I did not have this debt.
And just recently, I received another bill from a collection agency saying they purchased my Cingular account with the amount of $70.00! What is going on! I'm not going to pay for these bogus amounts anymore. It really bothers me that Cingular thinks I still owe them money when my account has been paid off in full the $185 that they thought I owed them.
I don't know what to do about the current bill for $70! I don't want to have to pay it, but I feel like they will report it on my credit if I don't. Please don't ever use Cingular as your cell phone provider. They ripped me off!!!
