Cancelled service still gone to collection
Att/direct tv account [EDITED]. Put on vacation hold for indefinite time, feb 2018 and it never got done by direct tv . I moved away and no one was at my house .I returned equipment called and paid 2 more times after closing account just to be able to talk to someone. The last man I talked to said he could lower my amount owed (for no service or equipment) if I agreed to another 2 year commitment. For service in a vacant house while I am in another state. Now I am in collections for same said service that I do not have.I have spent 11.2 hours trying to clear this up since April 2018 to no avail . Now you are damaging my credit and again today I cannot reach anyone. My acct number was [EDITED]and Afni collection acct number is [EDITED]1. Service address was[EDITED] Aguanga Ca 92536i am 71 and in declining health and want this over. Pleas have a SENIOR acct rep that can end this mess you have put upon me while I still can.

Thank you for your attention to this overdue matter Kathryn [EDITED] disconnected phone number associated to this acct [EDITED]

theres no such thing as an indefinite hold its either 6 months per calendar year or you cancel service. after 6 months your billing goes back to normal, and being on hold isnt free either. at this point you have to deal with the collection agency as directv has no leagal authority of the account once sold, so they couldnt negotiate if they wanted to.
Once your debt has been sold to a debt purchaser you owe them the money, not the original creditor.A ‘debt purchaser’ buys up debts for pennies on the dollar to collect rather than chasing debts owned by other companies.
