This morning I received a call from PMAB 1-704-553-7146. The call switched over to my answering machine and all it did was send continuous beeps. Eventually I had to erase the beeps. Looking back at previous calls on 800notes it appears to be a caller from a medical collection office. There is no way I owe any money to a medical office. If you call again at least have the courtesy of leaving a spoken word message instead of an incessant beep.
If you owe a debt and the company is in no violations then the bill still falls back on you ! All you have to do is call the company make arragememts to pay your debt and the calls will stop! It's just that simple! If you do a cease and desist the company can still report to your credit and possibly take your taxes and now some Drs are denying service due to outstanding debts! So do the right thing and pay your bill for it can hurt you in the long run!!
I get calls from them.. Because it is automated dialer system most of the message is not recorded on my voicemail. Still wonder who the brainless twit was who came up with a automated system such as this type of system. The only way I know the number is it shows up on my missed call display. I have no idea who they are calling for at my number. I have seen no correspondence to my home from them either.
Here is the problem I have with this company and the person who sold them the debt. I went in late summer to the emergency room, with a kidney stone, never had one before. And never received a single bill from the hospital or anyone else. Then last month I started to receive calls from PMAB about the debt and have had to ensue their nasty customer service reps. But I am or am not disputing the debt but isnt it the hospital responsibility to send the customer a bill and give them x amount of time before selling it to a collection agency? If not what happens to the world hospitals have no procedures to follow anymore and sell debts to collection agencies without even contacting the customer first?
No it sounds like your payment has not posted so you should provide your proof to PMAB, or have the provider pull your account from bad debt collections.
