      I requested a free installation of ziply fiber service at December 2021 and then canceled the service several days later. The company provided a free cancellation in 30-days. The cancellation was made through phone call using ziply filter's customer service number. I was cancelling this service because xfinity provided a more competitive quote. So started then, I was using xfinity service till now.After several months later, I still kept receiving statements from Ziply Fiber, so I reached out to their online customer service to check why. The agent told me it's their server side problem, and confirmed that my service was already canceled successfully. He also told me that I should not worry about the statements. The server problem is causing messed up statements and will resolve soon.But starting June, I still kept receiving the monthly statement, so I reached out again through phone call to Ziply Fiber. This time, they mentioned that my service was not canceled and my service was stopped due to un-paid bills. I told them that I've canceled the service long time ago, the online agent also confirmed with me before. I asked them to check historical customer service calls. They said they can't retrieve historical calls before I give them the accurate date of my first cancellation request. I checked that my local historical call only has 2 months history. I checked with my mobile service provider, they don't have the record neither. So there is no way for me to know what exact the date of the phone call was made. Ziply Fiber now transferred the fake "debt" to a debt collection company. The **** has amount of ****** and I don't think I should pay the **** because they failed to cancel my service.

      Thank you for referring the concerns of  Dongqian *** to our office for review.  We appreciate ********** bringing this matter to our attention.

      According to the Complaint:
      ********* states he requested a free install when the internet was installed December 2021
      ********* states he called and canceled service several days later which was within the 30 day free cancellation  time frame
      ********* states after cancelling the internet service Ziply Fiber continued to **** him and was advised it was already cancelled but due to a server issue it continued to ****
      ********* states he has now been sent to an outside collections company for $214.23 and wants this adjusted and the credit report corrected


      Ziply Fiber has investigated the above statement and offers the following response:
      Ziply Fiber advises ********** did receive free installation and a month of free internet on the installation order that completed 12/02/21
      Ziply Fiber records show ********** did contact Ziply Fiber requesting the service to be disconnected on 12/14/21
      Ziply Fiber has no record of an order being placed in December, as requested therefore the account continued to **** through 04/20/22 when the account was disconnected
      Ziply Fiber has credited the account bringing the **** balance down to zero and apologizes for the frustration, Ziply Fiber has also notified ******************* to cancel this request and if reported to the credit bureau to have it pulled back


      We trust that this information will assist you in closing this complaint. We apologize for any inconvenience that Mr. and *********** has experienced as a result of the above matter.

      Ziply fiber charges us $80 per month for internet service which we pay monthly via autopay - one time we missed payment because of an expired debit card but was payed to date as soon as the mistake was noticed. Since then ziply fiber has claimed to have lost those payments despite showing the payments on their own website; as well as our bank statements. The payment was taken. Since May the company has been constantly harassing us and claiming we owe an extra 2 months of payment while threatening to cancel our service. We have spent numerous hours on the phone participating in their payment investigations to no avail and are still receiving shut off warning calls. Over and over we are receiving calls to prove our payments which are easily accessible through their records as well as all the bank statements and confirmation of payment numbers we have provided to them.

      Thank you for referring the concerns of  ********************* regarding the account under *************************  to our office for review.  We appreciate ************** bringing this matter to our attention.

      According to the Complaint:


      ************** states the Ziply Fiber account was set up on auto pay monthly, however due to an expired debit card a payment was missed.  Once noticed a payment was made.
      ************** states Ziply Fiber claims to have lost those payments despite the payments reflecting on their own website and the bank statements.
      ************** state since May Ziply Fiber is constantly harassing them claiming they owe 2 months of payments.
      ************** states a payment investigation was requested with no avail and they are still receiving shut off warning calls.
      ************** would like a billing adjustment and explanation of the charges.

      Ziply Fiber has investigated the above statement and offers the following response:


      Ziply Fiber records show no payment posted in April however 2 payments posted in May
      Ziply Fiber advises the 2nd payment was located due to a payment  investigation
      Ziply Fiber records show on the 05/08/22 statement the prior balance was $****** and $80.00 payment posted leaving a prior balance of $80.00 and current charges due 06/01/22 of $80.00 owing for a total of $******.  The following **** generated on 06/08/22 showing the prior charges of $****** no payment posted and current charges of $80.00 (current charges due 07/05/22).  Then the 07/08/22 **** generated with a prior balance of $240.00 with a payment of $80.00 bringing the prior balance down to $****** and the current charges of $80.00 with a due date of 08/01/22 for a total balance owing of $240.00 on 07/29/22 a payment of $80.00 posted leaving a balance of ****** owing.
      Ziply Fiber has placed a temporary collections hold on the account to prevent any collections activity and emailed ************** a **** history for 2022, this also shows the 2 months of missing payments.
      Ziply Fiber advises if the customer can demonstrate additional payments were deducted from their account, then an additional payment investigation will be placed on the account.  No billing adjustments are warranted as the charges are valid at this time. 

      We trust that this information will assist you in closing this complaint.  We apologize for any inconvenience that ************** has experienced as a result of the above matter.

      Ziplyfiber sent my account to a collection company. I have requested my pdf billing and payment history and have deferred me to collection company (**************************). They ping pong me back and forth. I have submitted a request per phone and via chat and they refuse to comply. They no longer permit me access to my account via online. This has affected my credit score which was close to 700. This company has many complaints already and should be investigated!
