So I cancelled my Verizon residential services (landline and Internet) when I recently moved (I still have my cellphone through Verizon). Four months after I cancelled my service I received a call from Verizon collection stating that I owed them from my final bill which I never received. I obviously paid it right away and thought noting of it after that. I am currently looking to purchase a house and so I pulled my credit reports to take a look and a negative entry from Verizon. I don't understand how it can be reported to credit agencies that I had a bill in collection from Verizon when I never received the bill and as soon as I was informed that I owed Verizon money I paid it. I have been a loyal Verizon member since 2011 and only cancelled my service due to my move and still do business with Verizon. I do not think it is fair that my credit is being adversely effected when I paid the bill when I found out about it. If Verizon had communicated with me sooner I owed them money I would have paid as I did once I was informed about the bill. Is there any way that this can be unreported so it doesn't effect my credit? It horrible that I might have a harder time receiving credit given I have this negative mark that I took care as soon as I was informed. Any help regarding this issue would be greatly helpful.
