Consumer Complaint: I had a cancellation fee that XXXX had wanted to charge me after I cancelled my cable in 2018. I spoke with the company on XX/XX/2018 and requested that the operator request to the manager that they waive my cancellation fee on the basis of being a long time customer. The operator mentioned they would do so and contact me back. XXXX never did follow up with me, and sold the debt to Diversified Consultants. I have paid it off, however now have a collections account on my credit report that is hurting my ability to access credit in the future, because of XXXX misrepresentation of what actionable steps they would take.
