Over Charged On Cancelled/Closed Account

I was charged $405.76 for my acccount that I cancelled and closed in Febuary 2018. I am no longer at the address the service was used at and I haven't for 4 years. I am not able to open up a personal phone account and get a new phone with this issue. I have called DirecTV and talked to 4 different people and all said my account was closed/cancelled and the balance was $0 This issue needs to be resolved timely.

This is a customer to customer forum with no access to any accounts.  You had 60 days to file a dispute over billing errors so it may be best to file a BBB complaint to kick it to corporate.

I appreciate you guys feedback. I got nowhere with customer service. Was told it went to collection agency when i called collection agency they told me they hadn't had the account for 2 years. So I guess my next step will be to file a complaint as yall suggested.

@Juniper is correct about the 0 balance, any time an account is written or charged off it does show a $0.00 balance because it's been "charged off" but this doesn't actually mean your amount owed is 0.00 the agents have to check the charged off amount which is always in the system notes (not the account notes) the problem is most agents don't know this,  heck most don't even know there's such a thing as "system notes" this includes managers, supervisors and trainers believe it or not.
