Had signed up for prepaid cell service with a company. Never received the simcard. So was in a rush to get a Sim card for my phone(BYOD) so went to another provider. 3 months later I got a bill for $211.84 for service that I never received. The simcard they mailed was never activated cause I never received it. Yet the insisted that I owed them money for a service I never used. Then they hit my credit report. Not once, but several times. Cause I diputed it and had it removed 2 times on TransUnion,once on Experian & Equifax. And then they reported it again and I couldn't get it removed. Shows how useless the credit bureau dispute system really is. Cause I was right and didn't owe said company a dime. Then found Fairshake and said sure I try it. Why not. Didn't actually expect them to be successful but they surprised me. Said American Telecommunications provider actually credited my account that $211.84 to allow me to pay that bill with thier own money to keep my account in good standing. Promised in writing to request the company they had come after me for the debt to have all mentions of it removed from my credit report.. Didhave to pay a $42 fee. But if you knew the name of this American telecommunications company you would understand why I didn't mind paying fairshake that fee, for imo getting the worse hounds off my back for money I didn't owe them. 3 letters, and a symbol.
