FLsailor Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 A collection agency contacted us 12/07 about an outstanding account and stated that we owed 1050.00. I have a statement from the hospital, with the same account number showing that we owed 725.00. I paid 50.00 a month on this account through my bank and have the electronic receipts for three payments to the account after the 725.00 statement. That means we should owe about 575.00.I sent a certified letter to the CA requesting verification of the account and their statement does not reflect what I wrote above. They have reported the debt to the credit bureaus. I have not mentioned the statement I have and the three payments we made. What steps do you recommend we take from this point forward? TIA.

swirlgirl Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 It sounds like the CA has added interest or fees to the balance. Have you contacted the hospital about this in order to settle? See if they will pull it back from collections and remove from your CR if you agree to pay. Of course, get everything in writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
