Just got a call from this number. Didn't leave a message.... I'm at work, so yeah... Can't answer. I'll try to call it back, but we'll see lol. I do have an open medical bill (just had my first baby!) buuuuuuut I'm not made of money, so they can wait until I have enough to pay... And even then, I don't do phone calls. They're going to have to send me some legitimate paper work, otherwise they're not getting anything from me.
The answer to your question, Tonya is, Yes they can and do get reported to your credit...even in Texas. Most everything that is bad on my wifes credit is from medical expenses. The way I think they get around not reporting medical on your credit is to send it to collections, which can be placed on the credit report. On the other hand, no one is supposed to use unpaid medical bills as a reason from denying credit, which I think is a law.
I just got a call from this number: (903 – 484-9278). I have had Soooooooo many calls from this collection agency and apparently others looking for the person that must have had my cell # previously. I have asked NUMEROUS times for them to remove my # from their database. I have tried very much to be nice and to provide them with information to assure them that I am NOT the individual they are looking for.
Today I had a call and started to explain the situation to the gentleman calling me. He got LOUD and said that HE has never called. I started to ask him to make certain that my # is removed from their database. Before I could get the words out, he rudely hung up on me…… It REALLY pisses me off when a business that has called ME, hangs up and is not willing to listen to me. So I immediately called the number back. Another “gentlemen” answered the phone. I identified myself and told him about the rude hang-up that had just occurred. He stated that he had been recording and monitoring the call and that their person did “nothing wrong”. I told them that I disagreed with that and asked for the name of his company. He responded in a LOUD voice that “It is none of your business” and abruptly disconnected.
Does anyone know who this collection company is, and do you have their contact information? I would like to report their rude behavior to the Better Business Bureau or someone that can do something with their total lack of customer service? Again, these people are calling US!! They should be willing to listen to us and not be RUDE! Do we have any legal recourse??
Just got a call from these remarkably charming people...at 8:16 AM, my phone says. I see here that they're a collection agency.
I live in California. Do these people realize that I live in a different time zone, and that, while it has been nice and bright and busy for them in Texas, we're still just getting the day started out here!?
I would really love to nail these jerks with a lawsuit, just for calling in the morning like this. Do they honestly expect me to answer the phone when they call before I am even ready to deal with NICE people, let alone the class of scum they are!?
