More details to this question:
I had a one year subscription to Florida Sportsman Magazine. They auto-renewed it and I called an cancelled the renewal. Nothing owed after that. A few months later I got a collection notice from North Shore Agency stating that my account was in default. I called the magazine and they confirmed that the account did not have a balance and sent me a letter to confirm. Since then (12/5/2019) I've received two more collection notices from North Shore Agency for the same account. Several phone calls to the magazine and it's still not take care of. What are my legal options?

This may be a collections violation under Fla. Stat. 559. You will need to hire a lawyer to review this but if they are trying to collect on a properly cancelled account, as opposed to the $0.00 owed being the result of a charge of and sale, you may be entiled to up to a $1,000.00 penalty and having the collector pay your legal fees.
