Consumer Complaint: I sold my XXXX dollar truck because I wanted to get a cheaper commuter. So I asked XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for a loan and they are the ones who made as aware of this delinquency. I had no knowledge of any medical bills owed. I pulled my credit report and called I C Systems. I spoke with XXXX XXXX. She let me know the amount owed was {$2300.00}. However I knew that our insurance covered his service. So I called XXXX. I spoke with XXXX, she referred me to my old employer and stated it was my old employers responsibility to pay. While that didnt seem right I called HR at my old employer and she confirmed that it was XXXX I should be talking to. So I called back. I got a lady named XXXX on the other line. She said the amount showed {$2600.00}, and it was paid. She said we had a {$40.00} co-pay that we paid at date of service on XX/XX/XXXX. She said the doctors office must have sent this to collection in error. So I called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and they transferred me to billing where I spoke with XXXX. She said she had no idea why this went to collections. I then called XXXX back and they referred me to their subdivision XXXX XXXX XXXX I spoke to XXXX. She said they paid this on XX/XX/XXXX and gave me a check number. She said she had an EOB and would fax it over to the collections agency to show it was paid. I am not responsible for this debt. I have never had a late payment, or delinquency in my entire 17 years of having credit.
