Attempts to collect debt not owed

Debt collection: Medical debt

Debt was paid
Complaint: Around XXXX XXXX, I received lab work by XXXX XXXX XXXX through a XXXX XXXX program provider. All medical bills under this authorization are 100 % covered by my insurance. My insurance company paid the debt owed and I later received collection notices from SKO BRENNER AMERICAN , INC . I called my insurance company and they were able to rectify the situation. However, I have received two more harassing collection letters stating I still owe them. I called my insurance company and they tried reaching out to XXXX again to no avail. They could not get through to anyone and neither could I. However, they assured my insurance company that they would remove the charges. Please help get the this situation resolved.
Company Response: Closed with non-monetary relief

Attempts to collect debt not owed

Debt collection: I do not know

Debt is not yours
Complaint: I received a collection letter from SKO Brenner American , Inc. stating that I owed {$700.00}. In their letter, they did not identify who they were attempting to collect for nor did they identify any product or service that was supposedly rendered. I do not have any outstanding debt from anyone, so this is either a scam or mistaken identity. Since SKO Brenner American did not identify a vendor or product/service, this appears to be a scam.

Complaint: Hi, I received a letter from SKO BRANNIER AMERICAN XXXX XXXX ) regarding a medical bill due from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, CA. This letter states failure to respond, yet they did not have my apt # on this letter, i was given this letter from my neighbor. How can i respond if they do n't have my full address? I have sent letters to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for a balance of {$580.00} they say that i owe them .... They dont respond and make me wait on hold when i call them ... They are quick to overcharge the patient and refund after the fact, as this occurred often. My Doctor left XXXX in XXXX of XXXX and i followed him to his new office, i actually had a balance of over payment ... they are notorious for over charging their patients, but i paid as i needed medical attention so i did n't question it. XXXX mailed me a check in XXXX of XXXX for approx {$300.00}. and then a year later, i am getting bills saying that i owe them {$580.00}, yet no back up they can provide and fast forward to XXXX - i am now getting a letter from this bill collector in New York. How do i go about this problem and get this resolved. I 'm going send another letter to XXXX and now the bill collectors, yet i feel this is so wrong and need an advocate as i get too emotionally wrapped up over the phone and feel they will ding by credit. Apologies for the sound bites of information- happy to provide more details. Thanks in advance for your help / assistance, much appreciated.

Attempted to collect wrong amount
Complaint: While living in XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX , XXXX alarm company provided alarm service to my house in XXXX . In XXXX of XXXX I notified them by phone that I sold my house. I asked if they provided service for XXXX , XXXX where my new house was located. They told me that they could provide this service. I asked them to disconnect my alarm system so I could take the wall unit with me to XXXX . A XXXX employee said they did n't have an employee to do this, since somebody was dismissed, or quit. Instead, someone talked me through disconnecting the wall unit for the alarm system. After arriving in XXXX I called them at least three times to request that they install the alarm system in my house. They said they would, but could n't give me a date. Every time I talked to them they said they needed to recover the contact points from my old house first, before they could install in my new house. I gave them my realtor 's phone number to aid them. This went on for three months, from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX , XXXX . At this point I called and said that I had been without service for three months and asked " How can I trust you to provide emergency service to my house if you ca n't even install the alarm in my house? '' I notified them on XXXX XXXX , XXXX that I was cancelling my service with them for non-performance of our contract for the previous 3 months. I was paid up when I left XXXX XXXX XXXX . They never installed a system in my house in XXXX . They continued sending me letters asking for payment for service they were n't performing in XXXX . They harassed me constantly with these letters. I sent some back and destroyed others. I have the most current one which is from SKO Brenner American , Inc, a collection agency. They 're asking for {$1300.00}. This contrasts with the first request from XXXX which was for {$300.00} on XXXX / XXXX / XXXX . I also have this bill.
