Equipment-Return and Collection Notices Go Unsent After Service Cancellation

After canceling a service, customers report that equipment-return instructions and collection notices never reach them, yet the unpaid balance is still sent to collections and reported to credit bureaus without proper disclosure that it was a debt-collection attempt. The customer only learns of the negative mark after checking their credit report.
