As of XXXX, XXXX has been my Primary source of Healthcoverage.
Prior to this date, I 'd never needed nor wanted either the State nor Federal Government to be of assistance. Due to the fact I was ( am ) a XXXX, I 'd taken pride of my accomplishments and achieved goals. I was very financially independent. I paid ALL my bills before their due dates, an individual ( conventional loan @ lowest APR ) homeowner, vehicle owner ( paid off after 60 months with the lowest possible APR ). Literally, I 'd achieved the proverbial " American Dream '' as a young adult, then young middle aged woman.
Then, this happened : I 'd lived in XXXX XXXX, XXXX for XXXX wonderful years, until the Nation 's largest Natural Disaster of the Century, XXXX XXXX, came bustling through with her winds figuratively knocking me to my knees. I, like true survivors do, brushed the dirt off and pulled my buit straps up for the sake of my life as a single mother of XXXX. NO! I was not a XXXX " Victim '' looking for free handouts from every benevolent social or governmental source. I was even a donator of my time and whatever resources I had then, and distributed them to the REAL victims, the citizens of XXXX XXXX seeking immediate relief at the 'Triage ' Center set up at the XXXX State Fair Grounds in XXXX XXXX .
Enough of sounding like the Martyred Saint. I, as most humans do, end up making poor choices with no regard to the foreseeable consequences. Indeed, what choices I were making, I truly had my family 's best interest at heart. Unfortunately, they always were n't. And I 've dutifully taken responsibility for any consequences I brought on myself. Obviously, poor financial decisions becomes one of them when their flying around like a chicken with their head cut off by scrambling to figure how to make ends meet ( all legal, of course ) It 's hard, it 's tough, and self-defeating actions occur when one believes they 've hit their personal rock bottom.
In the lowing wake of XXXX, I made the snap irrational decision to put my home for sale, bc the real estate value rocketed due to SO many displaced citizens searching to buy. I uprooted my single mother of XXXX life, and moved to XXXX in order to be closer to family. Almost immediately following, I met and married a man I barely even knew XX/XX/XXXX. The rest speaks for itself, the financial crumbling ruins of ALL I 'd worked so tenaciously to achieve. He soon became a XXXX on every level imaginable. He stole from my banking account, never allowed me on his all resulting in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. And, I had n't a shred of evidence to prove otherwise. To wrap it up, I fled with my daughter with only the clothes on our back to the closest XXXX. I 've since, been fighting my way back up for the last three and one half years. My now, XXXX year old, amazing daughter and I are recovering happily on every level. However, financial decisions are n't up to her as a XXXX. I 'm doing all I can to tame the ominous credit vipers in order to get FULLY back on my feet again financially which is near impossible with such a low poor credit score. All my medical bills are certainly going to be disputed and their collection agencies, to their attorney 's fees, because I 've by the grace of those TRULY in need,! have been covered under XXXX which is now called " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' - XXXX XXXX. Sorry to sound melodramatic of it all, bc I ca n't stand melodrama myself. But, I need financial help and advising immediately. Thank you so much, in advance for all you 're able to do.
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I received a letter from Advanced Recovery Systems on XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX about a medical debt with a balance of {$130.00}. I responded by mail on XX/XX/XXXX requesting they provide me with the amount and age of the debt, a copy of the last billing statement sent to me by the provider, the amount of the debt when they obtained it, and when that was, any fees associated with the account, any payments made to the account, and to tell me when the creditor claims this debt became due and when it became delinquent. I received a response from Advanced Recovery Systems on XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX and that included a copy of a statement, which was never sent to me, dated XX/XX/XXXX with an incorrect balance of {$110.00}, a copy of the letter I sent to ARS, a form from the provider and a letter from ARS, signed by XXXX XXXX, that says Dear consumer, Attached is the verification you requested. Should you have further questions feel free to contact me as noted below. I never received any of the other information that I requested. The contact information listed on the letter included Advanced Recovery Systems address, phone number and XXXX email address. I sent an email to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX and let him know that I received the response to my request for verification but that the information provided was still incorrect and to please continue to treat the debt as in dispute and under discussion until resolved. I never received a response to that email or any other communication from ARS after that. I was looking at my credit the other day and noticed that I have a collections account from ARS that was reported XX/XX/XXXX. The date of first delinquency is listed as XX/XX/XXXX and that is false because my appointment was that exact day and I would not have even received a bill by then. I disputed the account on the credit bureaus website but they claim that it was reported correctly, this account is still on my credit report with false information.

The company I am filing a complaint against is ARS Collections ( Advance Recovery System ). I received a letter from ARS collections on Thursday XX/XX/2020 with the intention of collecting a debt that I am not responsible for. On Friday, XX/XX/2020 I contacted ARS collection and spoke to a representative. I explain that this is not my debt and it was sent in as if I accumulated the debt. He said there wasn't anything they could do, they just go by what was sent in to them. I would have to talk to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I asked to speak to a higher authority, left a name and number, but hasn't received a return call as of yet. The Nursing Facility " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX took my mom in under false pretense. Her attending Physician recommended that she go to this facility for 90-100 days of swing bed care. They tried to sign her up for long time nursing home. When we were suddenly aware that they was not providing swing bed care we took her out. The administrator told me that since I was taking her out that I was going to have to pay the bill. Being very vindictive, she said that I was going to have to pay the bill or she will garnish my check. She sent unofficial statements twice a month with handwritten messages. Finally she sent my name to the collection agency as if this was a debt accumulated by me. Now ARS is jeopardizing my credit with my mother 's bill which was suppose to be taken care of by Medicaid and Medicare. the statement from ARS is in my name, with my addres and the bill is {$9100.00}. The attachments clearly shows that these are not my bills. I am not my mother 's power of attorney and I am not responsible for her bills.

I was sued by ADVANCED RECOVERY SYSTEMS Inc representing XXXX XXXX XXXX. The lawsuit alleged a procedure was performed and in fact, the Nurse was not even licesed to perform the medical procedure that was eventually done. I was not AT their place of business and had proof that I was not there, and that they had in fact not performed a procedure for me. In fact if they HAD it would have been a XXXX felony. I won the court case and am sending in the final judgement.
My complaint is that ADVANCED RECOVERY would not validate the debt, would not identify themselves, except through their attorneys and a post office box. They reported the debt as valid, frequently ( every ten to fourteen days ) after it was disputed and after the case had gone to trial AND after they KNEW it was a false claim. They are still reporting it.
I asked for a validation of the debt and their attorney replied by mail. " We called our client and they say its real. '' That was the validation letter.
Their failure to follow the law has cost my husband and myself lost work and lost credit opportunities because they failed to follow the FDCPA, in fact I 'd say they 're not even aware of the law.

I suffered an XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/2018 that required emergency care, and did not have the option of shopping for best provider. XXXX XXXX allegedly distracted that XXXX but incompletely which required additional distraction at hospital admission. XXXX XXXX was requested to provide the Medicare billing code and amount that would normally be paid for such billing code per the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. They did not do so, and have not done so which implies they are billing some 600 % above the authorized billing amount. I have made a payment based on the lesser service actually provided and documented. ARS has not stated whether they purchased this alleged debt or whether they are merely " shake down '' agents who know nothing about the original billing or its dispute.
I am disputing this debt as it is not substantiated by CMS billing code or Medicare billing amount. I am requiring ARS to submit objective evidence if they have purchased this alledged debt and the actual amount they paid for that alleged debt. If they have not purchased this debt and can not produce the actual CMS billing code and amount, they are immediately to cease and desist.

Advanced Recovery Systems, whose address is XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, MS XXXX, sued me for medical debt in XXXX County Justice Court. I showed to the hearing and cited improper venue because the FDCPA states that the suit against a debtor is to be brought in the county where the debtor presently resides or the county where the contract was signed. I am a resident of XXXX County in the State of Mississippi and was when I received the healthcare service from the original medical providers. The medical providers are all entities located in XXXX County. ARS is a debt collector and they bundled 4 independent assignments from 3 different entities into one lawsuit. I never received the demand letter from the attorney of record, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, representing ARS because it went to the county that the suit was filed. ARS, debt collector, clearly violated my rights under the FDCPA and due process rights.

I was serviced noticed of an attempt to collect a medical debt from Advance Recovery System. I made several attempts to request validation of this debt with no response from creditor. I respectfully requested that Advance Recovery System provide me with competent evidence that I have a legal obligation to pay Advance Recovery Systems.
After i did not received information i reached out to CFPB on XXXX complaint XXXX. I received notification that the collection was removed from all credit bureaus. I called CFPB to have the complaint removed on XXXX. On XXXX the collection is back on my XXXX report and Advance Recovery have yet to validate this debt.
This has caused a tremendous impact on my credit rating.

XXXX and Advanced Recovery system has majorly violated my credit report by reporting this inaccurate account.
This account was deleted from my credit report and re-inserted which is a violation under FCRA 611 part A, 5 B ( ii ) by failing to provide a written notice within 5 days Further more they added this account back and reported a late payment it is impossible for a collection to report a late payment.
They have also re-aged the date of last activity which should reflect the last date a payment was made.
Furthermore I have no knowledge of this collection and do not have any agreement with advance recovery system. It is a violation to assume that I owe a debt that hasnt been properly validated

I did not receive any information regarding owing the original creditor or collection agency. I receive so many Robo calls I'm unsure if at some point if that is how they attempted to contact me. I had XXXX in TN but paid upfront for the cost. I received notification that I was being sued by the collection agency in the state of XXXX where I reside. This particular collection is also not listed on my credit report so I did not know this was something I needed to handle. They are staring that I am accruing interest daily and I am struggling with inflation and XXXX kids already. Please assist on how I can handle this.
