Collections

[CBosarge]

I have several unpaid medical bills that are in collections. Upon the collection agency contacting me I worked out a payment plan over the phone. After making a few payments I called the case worker and asked for her to provide the current balance of my account. I was then told to include a letter along with my payment asking for balance details in writing. I mailed the check with a letter requesting my balance details and receipt of payment. I have not received any paperwork regarding my balance or receipt of payment after several attempts to do so. How should I handle this?

Write another letter, enclose a copy of the first letter and ask for an update.

You need to know, that you aren't paying teh person to whom the originbal debt was allegedly owed.

You're enriching a scavenging, scumsucking debt collector.

This is a typical scam or con.

This has been discussed many times on this forum.

Google the name of the con-artist that is stealing your money.

That might open your eyes.

That's why they haven't written you back (more than likely).

I suspect the debt was no longer collectible.

More than likely the SOL had run.

When you sent payment, that restarted the SOL clock.

I hope (for your sake) you didn't send them checks from your checking account.

They usually try to CLEANB out your bank account to satisfy a debt you didn't owe!
