I will try to explain this as quickly as I can.

I had cable with Adelphia. I shut it off, and honestly I never paid the balance(my fault completely).

About 4 months later, I called Adelphia to settle the debt. The told me it was not in collections yet, so I paid them. I also asked for a letter stating that the account was paid in full and that this information would NOT show up on my credit report, which they did,,,,,Great right???( I lost the letter, ughhhh) I called to have another letter sent, and they said no problem. I never received the 2nd letter.

6 Months goes by and I get a statement from Time warner Collections(they bought adelphia apparently) saying my account was paid in full, yada yada, yada. But this was a letter from CMI- The collection agency that Time warner uses. Yes there is a question and here it is...... I paid the Bill in February of 2006 and have been receiving credit reports EVERY month because im doing credit repair. This account was NEVER on there. Now all of a Sudden in November of 2006 This account shows up as a collection paid in full!!!!! What????!!!! Please advise.

Thanks everyone, I know that was a lot.
