This company mailed a bill statement under my daughter's name stating that she owe's them money ($164.00). They stated in their letter that the original creditor sent her bill statement thousand times but never responded to it. The real thing is that she never gotten any bill from anybody.
I called this law office and ask them where this bill came from, they ask the file number, and appeared that it was on my 7 year old daughter and the representative told me if she could speak with her because she was the one who owe's them money and not me. He was surprised when I said she is my daughter and she is only 7 years old and then we talk.
H etold me that the bill was from her hospitalization way back February when she went to E.R., the hospital does exist and I took my daughter there several times when we still live in L.A. I got suspicious so I ask him what was the name of the previous creditor that they are telling me about because I know that we never recieved any of the statement that they are claiming. Then he hanged up on me.
I called again and talked with somebody else, this time I asked him to send me a copy of the denial of the insurance that my daughter had at that time. He said that they dont have that so I told them that I could get a clear cut copy of the denial of services IF that insurance company really denied her because when they deny services they will send you reason why they denied services.
Again man hanged up on me. I called again the 3rd time, I told them that I will not pay for it but I will file a dispute, the man I spoke at this time told me that if I file a disput it will go on a litigation and I need to go down there and waste my mone, afterwards he said that if we could just settle the amount?
He said that instead of paying 164.00 I will just pay 82.00 but I will have to pay it now through credit card and threat me that they will mess up my credit. He told me that I have 24 hours to pay it. I said no if I would pay for if, they need to send me a bill statement then I asked him again, If this bill was from E.R. The hospital should put the bill under my name because my daughter is a minor and leggaly it shouldn't be under her name. Then he hanged up again so I called again and told them that I am not paying anything because I know that we don't owe them money, and if the proper way of doing it is to file a dispute, then I will.
In addition to that these people didn't know what kind of insurance my child had, I spoke with the insurance company and her insurance doesn't deny any services if children was accepted in any emergency room and I took my daughter on that same hospital several times and never get any bill statement.
This company is extremely fraud, I don't know how they got our information, our new addres, and other information to get into us but what they are doing is illegal. We need to be aware of people like this. But if we will think of if, how do they get access in our records whether its form the hospitals, electric bill or wherever all I know it that this IS A CLEAR CUT SCAM and it should be stop!
