Complaint What Happened On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, upon returning from a work conference out of town, I opened a letter from the Credit Clearing House of America. This stated that I was being sent to collections for an unpaid bill from XXXX XXXX of {$490.00}. I could n't recall ever seeing a bill for this so I searched through two years ' worth of bills that I received through mail and via email. I could find no record of this bill. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I called CCH and they suggested I call XXXX. At XXXX I spoke with XXXX. He said the bill was for service dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I told XXXX I had no knowledge of ever receiving this bill. He stated that his records showed XXXX XXXX had never sent me an invoice for the service. XXXX said he would speak to a manager and call me back. In the meantime, I searched my bank accounts to see if perhaps I had paid the bill and did n't remember. I could find no record of a payment in my current bank accounts. Unfortunately, my bank account in XX/XX/XXXX is different than my current account. I called the bank but it would cost an exorbitant amount of money to get those statements. I called XXXX back on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I spoke with a different representative, XXXX. She also confirmed that XXXX XXXX had never sent an invoice. This representative stated that they sent the debt to collections on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. The first letter I received from CCH was XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I did tape this conversation and have that recording available to validate never receiving an invoice. Upon further research of this issue, I found references to a term called " parking '' a debt - where collections will not act on a debt until the person applies for a mortgage or loan. My husband and I had inquired about a mortgage in XX/XX/XXXX.

Complaint What Happened I received a letter regarding a medical debt in the amount of {$1000.00} from a collection agency. This was after I discovered the debt on my credit report. When I contacted the agency to dispute the debt, they informed me that I had three options. Prove the debt was wrong, pay the total amount due, or arrange a payment plan. When I asked for information regarding who the debt was for, I was only provided with name of a generic ambulance company. This ambulance company doesn't seem to exist, or doesn't operate under the name provided, so I asked for additional information and was told they don't provide that information over the phone, nor take requests for such information over the phone. I sent a letter requesting full disclosure of this debt that went unanswered, or acknowledged. I sent a follow up letter formally disputing the debt and it too went unanswered, or even acknowledged. Every attempt to address this situation ends with the same result. They demand payment without providing me the opportunity to properly assess this debt, or dispute its accuracy.
