Okay, so I know that I should have gotten the approval in writing BEFORE I made a payment, but I also didn't want to mess up an opportunity
Okay, so here's what happened. I owed $119 to Charter Communications. Wanting to get negatives off my CR I paid Charter DIRECTLY. Now when I first talked to them they said they would send a letter to me saying it was paid and they would no longer list that I owe them. Turns out that wasn't entirely true as the payment still reports but it's $0 balance. And I never recieved that letter.
What are my next steps? Do I file a dispute or try to talk to Charte again? Thanks!
i just did this today with a CA and i hope that they stick to their word.

You could file a complaint with the BBB or call charter again, talk to a supervisor and tell them the promise that was made and see what comes of it. Take everyone's name also, if you have to file a complaint.
Should I file a dispute with the CBs?

No you do not file a dispute with the CRAs over this, they dont like it when CAs and OCs delete valid credit data, this is why so many of them are reluctant to put it in writing, you need to file a BBB complaint on them as already suggested.
File a complaint with the BBB.
My experience has been the CA's don't like getting referred there or have their rating impacted.
Wait,
How long ago did they state they would do this? Remember,it could take between 30-45 days to be updated.

This was June 14th. Is it normal practice for it to show up as a $0 balance first, then become removed?
Also, what should I NOT say to them considering I already paid the debt?
