      I received an automated robo call from this company saying they were a debt collector and I needed to call them back at ********** without any information as to the debt itself. I called back right away and they asked my name, phone number and then proceeded to want my date of birth for "security reasons". Not knowing who I was talking with and why, I told the agent I couldn't give them more personal information until they told me who they were and what debt they were calling about. She said she couldn't proceed with my call so I asked for a manager and she hung up on me. I have no idea if they are a scam or not but I wasn't giving personal details to a company I have never heard of.

      I am unable to get this debt collector to stop calling me after I spoke with them and they were unable to identify me in their system using my phone number. They said my phone number was not in the system, but they asked for my name. Which I refused to give. If my phone number is not in their system, how does there automated service keep calling me? *** asked them repeatedly to take me off of their call log but the calls keep coming.

      Texas Childrens had an issue with their billing system and accidentally sent my account to H&R for collections. I immediately contacted H&R when I found out and told them the situation. I did not know it was an issue with the billing system, but I knew the amount sent to them was on a payment plan and should never have been sent. I have spoken with Texas Childrens and they have pulled the amount back from collections, yet H&R has sent me a letter dated 7/2 that says the debt is accurate and that I owe them. I do not owe them anything and at this point, I feel they are harassing me.

      Complaint: 21986177

      I am rejecting this response because: it does not actually respond to my complaint. First of all, H&R was notified of today of the payments because I spent 40 minutes on the phone with Texas Childrens working on it with them calling H&R and putting me on hold. The resolution Texas Childrens came up with is not something I agree with but was the only way to get H&Rs harassment to stop. I am still waiting on another call from Texas Childrens to discuss their part in this matter further.

      Second, I never owed H&R a dime. I notified H&R via telephone in May that the account had been sent to them by Texas Childrens in error. I then spoke with Texas Childrens, confirmed it was an error in their system, and was told by Destiny with Texas Childrens billing department that she pulled the account back from collections. H&Rs failure to verify the status of the debt but instead continuing to pursue it without any due diligence is what I find to be harassment in this matter. Particularly disturbing is H&Rs letter dated 7/2 stating they investigated, by pulling a copy of my bill that was owed to Texas Childrens, not H&R. That in no way investigated the issue that it never should have been sent to them.


      Sincerely,

      Recently H&R Accounts added a $655 collection for *********** to my credit report. I have attatched the receipt showing that I paid this directly to ***********. I have disputed H&R Accounts on my report and yet it was verified correct. I have received NOTHING from this company about any collection. I only knew of it because it showed on my report.

It says it was opened on 02/02/2023 for $1,404.00 with account number starting in ******** that I am not aware of nor am I responsible for.
