      I constantly receive calls from this company but when I answer, there is no one on the line. Just a recorded message with a number to call. I have spoken with someone several times and have paid the amount that I am told is due, but for some reason they continue to call me and state that I owe the same amount that I keep paying. Every time I pay the amount, I write it down with the date and for some reason, they keep telling me I owe the same amount again, for a service date of months ago. I log into my healthcare accounts and they all show I have no balance due.I'm really unsure of why I'm receiving calls several times per week for the past 4 months from this company.

      Complaint: 20884766

      I am rejecting this response because: I provided a receipt given to me by ************************* on the day of service. The receipt clearly shows that I paid $25 amount and subsequent contact with *** billing in 2022 they clearly and plainly stated that I owe them nothing. They have not satisfactorily stated why they waited almost 18 months to suddenly turn the bill to H&R for collections without contacting me for payment. I received no bills from them that I did not pay upon receipt. They are trying to damage my credit history without cause. Additionally, ************************* listed themselves with H&R as ****************************************************** which in March 2022, they were not; and it made it very difficult to reach the correct billing department as a result. Depending on the outcome of this complaint, legal action against *** is not out of the question.

      This company claims that I have a debt with them. I did not receive a copy of my original contract with my medical hospital bill from this company that i requested when the original contact was made by them. Until I am able to receive a copy of my original contract agreement with the hospital, I am not liable for this account. I have been unable to contact this company after their initial calls to me to get questions answered regarding billing and it is unprofessional. This incident happened on August 28th of 2022. I would like this issue to be resolved.
