XXXX XXXX, a division of XXXX, has submitted a bill to collections against me. The charges are related to an energy bill for XXXX of XXXX for a former residence of mine. I vacated the home, and closed all accounts with XXXX, in XXXX of XXXX. 15 months later, they assigned these charges to me. Upon investigation from the collections agency, it was revealed that XXXX had sent a meter-reader to the home, 15 months after I vacated the property and closed my account. Based on that reading they assigned charges to me of {$230.00}. These charges took place 15 months after I had lived there. Multiple other XXXX accounts had been opened by the new residents at the home since mine was closed. XXXX has been unable to offer me any explanation as to why these charges were assigned to me, and have stopped returning my calls and emails. I have contacted all XXXX major credit agencies to dispute the collection ( which caused my credit score to drop significantly ). After investigating, all three determined these charges to be unlawful, and deleted it from my credit report. 

I would like for there to be an investigation into how a company like this can simply re-open an account that I closed 15 months prior, and start adding new charges. There was no attempt to contact me regarding this debt, in fact I have had no contact with the company since the day I closed my account upon my relocation in XXXX XXXX. They simply sent this directly to a collection agency.
