Comcast & Credit Protection Association Complaints - Comcast didnt inform Credit Protection Association that payment is made

Comcast & Credit Protection Association

Comcast didnt inform Credit Protection Association that payment is made
Complaint Rating:  85 % with 13 votes
I returned my Comcast Cable boxes but still got a bill of $219 from Comcast for not returning. I paid the amount as well of $219, but they never updated Credit Protection Association about the payment. Credit Protection Association reported the amount as unpaid to Credit Reporting Companies/Beareau's. When I call Comcast now, they asked me to contact Credit Protection Association. When I called Credit Protection Association, they asked to wait for 30 days from Comcast to report the account status. This is very frustating given the fact that cable boxes were returned and on top of it, I even paid for the boxes by my credit card to Comcast long back.

I have had a similar run in with CPA (Credit Protection Association, LLC) and I rec'd the same thing from Comcast to contact CPA. When I contacted CPA, they instructed me that it would take up to 30 days to correct the matter. Like most credit reporting places - CPA is unprofessional at best, rude and inconsistent with their company's policy for reporting and correcting bogus/invalid data to the big 3 credit companies.

Contacts for CPA is as follows:

(972)233-9614 - Dallas Office

(972)726-7557 - Dallas Fax

(877)332-2432 - Toll Free Number

Good Luck to the rest of everyone that has to deal with this agency.

File a complaint against Credit Protection Assoc. and Comcast.

My Story
They put 2 accounts on my credit report that they say were opened at other addresses on 11/16/2007. Both are for $150. I have beenin the same place for 3 years and my comcast bill is current. So 2 months ago I opened 2 accounts at 2 different addresses from the one I reside at and I'm already in collections? Yeah OK. BS!! Called CPA and they said it was from 2002 and 2003. So why report them as opened in 2007?

I have disputed 3 times with the credit bureas and each time it is removed as innacurate. Then a week later guess what appears again? Every time. CPA and comcast were both listed in my CH 7 that was discharged 3/2007. It was an account my ex opened in my name and never paid. Just listed them as creditors and no account number as I did not have one. So any debt prior to my filing would be discharged.

I have had the same problem with comcast and credit protection association. I closed my comcast account (which was in my roommates name) and we returned the cable boxes immediately. They sent ME to collections- I don't even have an account with them- and now they won't take it off my credit. Furthermmore they did not send any bills to the forwarding address of my old roommate. BECAUSE we paid the balance in full. I disputed the charges and that I don't even have an account in my name and cred protection association is not responding. I am furious!!

I to had a account, 5 years ago. Just know is cpa sending me letters that I can pay 1/2 the amount. I to told the credit bureas that they were on my bankrupcy and it was taken off. Then just today I got another letter from cpa saying lets make a deal! You can pay 1/2. Only problem I havent had Comcast for 3 years. I filed in Aug of 2006. These people are a joke and very un professional. let them keep this on theri records for 7 years as they put it to me on the phone, i even sent them a copy of the bankrupcty paper work they said wait 30 days why so you could put it on there again . if you read the little print if you dont send them something in 30 days they put on your credit report again. Good luck everyone, and dont go thru comcast.

I haven't really dealt with CPA just got the letters which all state to forward payment on to comcast. Today though i had a comcast installer show up. Thought he was soliciting, he's known around here for that. So, i inform him there's no soliciting in this building, he states, i'm not soliciting i'm here to collect on a debt. I told him iwasn't giving him anything and to get out. I called comcast and they stated that they do have door to door collectors in some areas. Apparently, it's legal too. I live in illinois.. I have contacted my attorney general because i'm thinking both cannot collect on the same debt. Can they? Would appreciate any advice.

You will have to contact the company you have/had services with. CPA is just a third party collector who doesn't hold any information but whatever Cox/Comcast Cable services send them. I have been trying to get this one item off of my reports for years and believe it or not it is still there. They will not remove it! You will be going back and forth with these companies and it really affects your credit especially if you are trying to purchase a home or something.

I have called, emailed, and wrtiten letters to Comast about a billing error. I moved and I cancelled my service in person at their office after two attempts by phone.

I continue to get bills for service after my house was sold and I moved to another state. My service was cancelled before the end of the month and the bill was paid in full. Comcast is billing me for another 10 days after the house was sold.

The CSR told me it would take a few weeks for the billing dept. to fix my acount. Four months later, they are still sending me the same bill.

Is there an address for Comcast's customer service because the locals can't address even simple issues? This is insane!

I just checked my credit report & there is a unpaid bill listed for Comcast. I paid off Comcast in 2002 & never got cable again since. The cable boxes were returned at that time. I was never contacted by CPA to my knowledge but it is under their name. They are saying that the bill is from 2003, I'm not sure of the address yet, but will get in touch with them to find out. Something is really fishy here.

I am having the same problem with Comcast and the Credit Protection Association (listed as CREDIT PROECTION ASSO) on my credit report. I paid this account several years ago along dropping off the cable boxes. This is giving me a negative credit report for WHAT; giving them business and paying?.. and this is how they thank us?!?!? They need to fix their communication channels to keep their customers happy and records up to date... I'm going to write the newspaper and contact a news station for investigation.. This company has too much of a monopoly and treats you only as a number and not a customer...

My suspicions are that this company is playing on people's fears and raking in money using shady tactics. I received a notice yesterday from CPA for my dead dad for $159.35. We returned all Comcast equipment and paid the bill the day after dad's death which was April 2007. During the year of dad's post office forwarding service not a single statement was sent showing that there was an outstanding debt with Comcast. No duh. There is no outstanding debt. As for tarnishing my dad's credit report I don't think he'll be needing anything real soon. But for those of you who need to be concerned check into this very carefully before acting on your fears and sending them money. Do you REALLY owe them money???

Okay...egg on my face. I finally found the one final ending balance owing on my dead dad's Comcast account that is on hold until the estate settles. This is a good lesson for me to confirm facts before shooting off at the finger on the keyboard. My apologies to CPA.
