Credit Collections for paid fees

[odessakm]

Hi can anyone help me?  I have two Verizon collections on my account.  One is paid off and the other is saying that I owe.  The one that is paid off was paid in a timely manner as soon as I was made aware of it.  I asked the customer service agent if it would affect my credit and she told me no which was a lie.  If I was made aware of the bill, I would not have let it go unpaid for so long.  I never received the bills or notifications that this bill was late.  The other is the same.  When I closed the account I was informed that everything was paid in full and I returned all equipment both times.  I worked really hard to have my credit clean and this is seriously affecting me.  I have disputed and yet it remains.  I don't know what to do.  I will gladly pay the full amount of the second one in full for a delete even though I do not believe I owe this money.  Any advice would be helpful.
