Paid outside collection agency and Verizon is still reporting to the bureaus I owe a balance!

I had Verizon Fios a few years ago and they reported a balance of $337 to the credit bureau. I don't even know what it was for.  They sent it to an outside collection agency who told me if I paid it, they would remove it from my report.  I paid it and the outside agency did remove it from my credit but Verizon is still reporting  to the credit bureaus that I have a balance of $337!  I called Verizon and they connected me to the outside agency who said "yeah, we removed that". I have disputed the charge a few times and the credit bureau still has not removed it.  I will be reporting Verizon to the Better Business Bureau for their unlawful reporting behavior.  I will never use Verizon again and I will share my story with every person I know.  I am disgusted that Verizon sets out to destroy people's credit even after the payment has been made.  It is unacceptable behavior and should not be tolerated!
