I received a letter from my cable TV provider saying that "there is an outstanding $55 on my account "

The point is they call remind me that I may have forgotten to pay my bill without the outstanding and the threat of cutting the service

It's simple economics to them. You don't pay, the have the right to deny you service.

Did you pay the bill and they didn't credit your bill?

In fact I paid the bill but to the phone company instead

anyway it's the first time and they could make the distinction between those who did such a thing just once and those who obviously "forget" to pay or are late every few months
