What can you doif you are getting collection bills from a cell phone company but you have already returned the phone?

I purchased the phone and after 5 days I returned it because the service was really bad. I returned it to the store where I bought them; its policy says you have 25 days to cancel the contract. So I returned the phones on the 5th day. I have receipts. Now I have been getting collection letters that I owe $900 for the phone I already returned and they are telling me that I still have them (when I don’t).
