Account closed and paid in full 4 years ago

I have app**** for an account with another company and to my surprise it was declined because they say I still have an outstanding account with Edgars. I closed this account and I paid it in full. <br> <br> I have even went to the Edgards in the Brooklyn Mall about 4 years ago and they confirmed that the account was closed and paid in full. <br> <br> I did not receive any phone calls or any statements from Edgars or any financial institute of Edgards in regards to this outstanding amount.<br> <br> When I phoned Edgards today ***and spoken to Bailey she said she is unable to assist me with the account and that it was handed over to attorneys. I am not going to pay any attorney fees. This is older than 3 years and I can not be held responsible for this.
