Billing Dispute

[mkkr83787]

How do I get in contact with someone to dispute an account that is showing up on my credit report?  I had a previous account with Verizon that was closed in March 2017, by Verizon due to suspected fraud.  I paid my balance in full and was issued a new account immediately.  I am showing this account on my credit report as closed by me and in default.  How can this be fixed?

Contact your states Public Utilities Commission or Public Service Commission via google search. Also contact your states attorney generals office for the credit bureau postings.

the fair debt collection practices act tells you how to handle these issues. The quicker the better to contact the credit bureaus to dispute the bad postings.
