Actually, you CAN NOT GUARANTEE any debt is valid. JL Teamworks is taking the information they get at face value and do not know the validity of any bill. I have received calls from them trying to collect a debt that I do not owe. After some time and considerable headache on my part they finally stopped calling.
My advise is to send them a certified return receipt letter demanding proof you owe the bill within 30 days. Include in the note that just saying so does not make it so and that you want to see copies of the original bills. If they fail to provide you with such proof then tell them to cease and desist all collections and file a complaint with the FTC (they have a handy form on their website). Failing that, take their incompetent behinds to court.
Should they provide proof and it's legit, then pay up or make arrangements. It's their responsibility to prove to you that you owe any debt and should not be harassing anyone. Likewise, if it's your debt, it's your debt.
HAHAHA.. I used to work at JL Teamworks in Lodi.. I can guarantee they are completely legitimate.. JL is a Medical collection / billing company that services a lot of major hospital accounts in California. They are a preferred Vendor for Sutter Health.. If you are getting a call from J&L I can GUARANTEE that you have a legitimate medical bill in collections.. How funny..
