Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed

Debt collection: Medical

Debt is not mine
Complaint: XX/XX/2015, I was admitted to an emergency department. I had insurance and most of the visit was fully covered. I am currently ( still ) being charged by the physician group at the hospital, saying I owe them money. I followed up with my insurance company, who said I was covered and the reason the physician group was not reimbursed was because they missed the 90 day period to file the claim. They strongly recommended I not pay the bill, as I was covered through my insurance. I followed up with the collection company ( XXXX ) several times ( both calls and written statements ) and even had my insurance company call them while I was on the phone to explain the situation, but they still are sending me bills. Recently, I have been getting phone calls and written statements from another company, Transworld Systems Inc, who say they are looking into my account, but only are using the bills as a reference for the account, not the several written statements between myself, my insurance company, and the original debt collector. I am at my wits end with this. I have been dealing with these charges for over a year now, taking time away from work to call the collectors, my insurance provider, and attempting to get in touch with the physician group ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, which has n't been possible ). I feel completely taken advantage of. I feel like these debt collectors are ignoring the communications from my insurance provider saying the fault and charges do not lie with me, they lie with my provider 's negligence when reporting the charges. Please help.

Complaint: My account was transferred to Transworld Systems XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX. Account # XXXX. The reason for my complaint is that they will not send me monthly statements of the debt. The reason being because they are not a billing coming and the longer I wait to pay the debt it is incurring weekly interest. The last statement I recalled I received was from XXXX XXXX XXXX before turning over to the collection agency there was a balance of {$820.00}. Now I have a balance of {$890.00} as of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. When I spoke with a representative XX/XX/XXXX I explained that I can only making payments of {$10.00} a month/ I explained to them that I had been XXXX twice in XXXX and having a difficult time make full payments due to several other deductibles I am paying to others. I was told they can not make a formal payment arrangement with me unless I agree to pay {$36.00} a month to stop interest from accruing and at that point they can send me statement. But earlier I was told they can not send statements. I believe this is unfair collection efforts, how can they charge weekly interest on a debt that was sent to them by XXXX XXXX XXXX in which they never charged interest. I would never get this paid off. The debt keeps going up and up. In the meantime they are continuing to cash my {$10.00} checks. I refused to send them anymore payment until I get a running balance of what I owe and I want the interest to stop. This is clearly a UDAAP violation. Please assist me in getting this resolve. I want the balance verified that was transferred from XXXX XXXX XXXX

Debt was paid
Complaint: XXXX XXXX sent me to a third party collections agency when I already paid the debt in full. Not only that, but they failed to send me any letters regarding this OR to call me, even though both my cell and work numbers remained the same. To make matters worse, the original bill was nearly {$7000.00} and I busted my rear to pay all but {$280.00} of that, leaving this small amount to be paid on XXXX/XXXX/16, and they sent me to a third party collections agency for that AFTER I PAID THE BILL! I have requested someone in their billing department supervisory team to call me regarding this error, but I do not anticipate that they will do so, nor do I anticipate that they will learn a lesson until a formal complaint is lodged against them. This is at least the second time I have had a problem with XXXX XXXX 's billing department, and I can not imagine how many others have had similar problems but do not know where to turn to lodge a formal complaint that may change things for the better for all patients.

Debt is not mine
Complaint: The debt collector is attempting to collect a debt for an item that was disputed and resolved in my favor with my credit card company. The dispute was for services not rendered from XXXX. XX/XX/2016, I purchased a lawn service package from XXXX to plant grass seed & aerate my lawn because it had a lot of bare patches. I tried to order the seeding & aeration services by themselves, but the associate would only sell them as a bundle along with a monthly weed control service. The associate told me that the seeding & aeration would be scheduled that week in XX/XX/XXXX & that I would receive weed control & fertilization in subsequent months to maintain my new lawn. As of XXXX 2016, the seeding & aeration service was never performed. I called numerous times to inquire about the seeding & aeration, but the company continued to reschedule the service. They showed up instead to spray weed control product & fertilizer on a damaged/bare lawn. On their visits, they were only on my property for 1-2 minutes. That was not the agreement that I entered into. I tried to call & stop the other services until the seeding was completed, but the company would not stop them. Finally on XX/XX/2016 I began a dispute with my credit card company because XXXX had not been responsive or helpful. The amount was disputed and resolved in my favor. A few weeks later, I began receiving debt collection notices from Transworld Systems , Inc. for the amount of the services XXXX had delivered that were not in accordance with our agreement. These services held no value because they were delivered without the primary service. This was already disputed through my credit card company and resolved ; however, I continue to receive debt collection notices.

Debt was paid
Complaint: I have some medical bills that was sent to collection due to non-payment as my employment ended/changed. I needed time to get back my feet. The last month I had paid what I owed based on what was showing on my credit history. I paid the balance off and last Friday I received another notification about another medical bill. I was trying to obtain some information and the lady that I was speaking with was very rude and unprofessional. She was very combative and would not allow me to speak. I was getting frustrated because of the way I was treated. I ended the call as I was not being treated with respect.
