Consumer Consent Provided to Share Complaint: Consent provided

Consumer Complaint: I found out through my credit report that there is a collection from XXXX XXXX XXXX for a medical collection from XXXX hospital. This bill was for my son who is XXXX years old and is XXXX. I contacted the collection agency because I had started a payment arrangement with the hospital itself immediately after receiving the 1st bill. The hospital stopped ticking the funds from my bank account for no reason. I call the collection agency in explain this I even offered to borrow funds from a family member to settle the account but I only hide half of the balance at my disposal. They refused to do any settlement on the account and they said they would continue to report the account of the collection to my credit report. They also said that even if I started on a repayment plan as I originally had with the hospital it would still report me negatively to my credit report.
Having a special needs child on the XXXX XXXX it’s very difficult especially because insurance doesn’t cover the majority of any emergency expenses such as his. We were a charge over {$13000.00} just for a one and a 1/2 day stay at the hospital and the insurance covered a portion of it and we were responsible to still pay {$3600.00}. We do not have those funds and have attempted every possible option to avoid this impacting my credit report.
