These people are totally full of sh%t and will try to scare you into paying a bill that you DO NOT OWE!!!
My bill from Hospital for Special Surgery was paid in full in Dec 2013 by my Ins company and PCB kept sending me letters stating I owed them over $825.00.
I spoke to this witch Vanessa who dared to lie to me and tell me she called HSS and they told her they had not been paid and the balance owed was verified. Total BS!!!
I called HSS billing and they told me you don't owe anything...I gave them the witch's name for them to take action!!
516-681-1122 is another number of Mercantile Adjustment Bureau. In order to get around the law of harassment (calling from one phone number more than once a day and even after telling them not to call. REPORT them! It's the only way to stop!
BTW, I DO NOT have any debt - they call to get information about people you know (parents, siblings, spouse) who may have debt (in case they moved and now the phone number and home address are unlisted and not recorded for the agency): WHICH IS ALSO ILLEGAL! These idiots are drop-outs with no other job available and they are vile, foul-mouthed brutes with NO intelligence - they don't even know that calling again and again is unlawful because, as they say, "they're just doing their job."
I don't understand why these people keep calling. I almost got nervous for a minute believing that I DID owe some mystery bill I did not know about. [Until I read the last statement above from "Moi" I was planning on calling back but in fact it is NOT I who owes anything!!]
