Amcol Systems d id not send me a letter to ask for validation or verification of the debt that is on my credit report. I requested validation and verification of this amount to its entirety as written to them via mail XXXX / XXXX / XXXX . No response received at all WHAT WAS SENT AND WHAT I NEED A RESPONSE FROM : Re : Acct # { XXXX } To Whom It May Concern : Ive received a copy of my credit report and you are claiming I have an account with you or I owe you something. I have never entered into any business arrangement and I have never signed any contract to conduct any kind of business with you. Also, because you are a 3rd party collector, you have no permission to furnish any information on my credit report in the first place. The law states that before you collect any information, about me, you have to get my authorization to access my credit report for any reason. You didnt do that first, and theres no way I would ever give a slimy collection company permission to slander me on my credit reports. Heres the law in case you never read it before. ( o ) Excluded communications. A communication is described in this subsection if it is a communication ( 5 ) with respect to which ( A ) the consumer who is the subject of the communication ( i ) consents orally or in writing to the nature and scope of the communication, before the collection of any information for the purpose of making the communication ; ( iii ) in the case of consent under clause ( i ) or ( ii ) given orally, is provided written confirmation of that consent by the person making the communication, not later than 3 business days after the receipt of the consent by that person ; Now, I am also exercising my right under the FDCPA to dispute the alleged account and demand validation from you. Ill break it down very easy for you. But know this, should you fail to provide every single thing I request form you, and dont worry, the list will be short, sweet and to the point, you will be required to cease all collection activity immediately.

This is request of PROOF OF CONTRACT to substantiate your claim. Therefore, youll need to provide me with a CERTIFIED copy of an authenticated original contract with my signature, specifically naming, Amcol Systems, as an entity entitled to enforce a commercial claim You do not conduct commerce ) against me. *Certified shall be done through the presence of a notary public, who authenticates and duly swears the copy made is in fact a copy of the original paper contract in question ( meaning the original contract from the original creditor would need be provide to the notary, and the notary would need to make the copy themselves ).

Every charge, every payment, every fee, interest, credit, and any other amount attributed to the alleged account, and the date on which each event occurred, as well as a description of each event or purchase causing an amount to allegedly be owed. Your failure to respond and provide strict proof of contracts and all the items noted above, presented to me in certified format, sworn under Penalty and Perjury and Authenticated by a notary, will constitute your tactic agreement that you are not entitled to enforce a claim against me.

File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau 3. File a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 4. File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission 5.

In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to t he America Bar Association and Professional Liability Fund for code of ethics violations. Please be advised that this is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ) that your claim is disputed and validation is requested. This is NOT a request for verification or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to the above named Title and Section.

IN ADDITION - Please provide me with the following : What the money you say I owe is for ; Explain and show me how you calculated what you say I owe ; Provide me with copies of any pap ers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe ; Provide a verification or copy of any judgment if applicable ; Identify the original creditor ; Prove the Statute of Limitations has not expired on this account Show me that you are licensed to collect in my state Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent At this time I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the XXXX major Credit Bureaus ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) this action might constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. Due to this fact, if any negative mark is found on any of my credit reports by your company or the company that you represent I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you for the following : Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Defamation of Character If your offices are able to provide the proper documentation as requested in the following Declaration, I will require at least 30 days to investigate this information and during such time all collection activity must cease and desist WHICH MEANS THAT REPORTING IT TO THE CREDIT BUREAUS ALONG WITH VERIFYING IT WITH THE CREDIT BUREAUS IS STILL COLLECTION ACTIVITY.

Also during this validation period, if any action is taken which could be considered detrimental to any of my credit reports, I will consult with my legal counsel for suit. This includes any listing any information to a credit reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated or verifying an account as accurate when in fact there is no provided proof that it is. If your offices fail to respond to this validation request within 30 days from the date of your receipt, all references to this account must be deleted and completely removed from my credit file and a copy of such deletion request shall be sent to me immediately. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT I NEED THAT PROOF ON CONTRACT INFORMATION WITHIN 15 DAYS. YOU HAVE AN ADDITIONAL 15 DAYS TO SEND ME THE REMAINDER OF INFORMATION REQUIRED BY LAW. I would also like to request, in writing, that no telephone contact be made by your offices to my home or to my place of employment. If your offices attempt telephone communication with me, including but not limited to computer generated calls and calls or correspondence sent to or with any third parties, it will be considered harassment and I will have no choice but to file suit. All future communications with me MUST be done in writing and sent to the address noted in this letter by USPS. It would be advisable that you assure that your records are in order before I am forced to take legal action. This is an attempt to correct your records, any information obtained shall be used for that purpose.

In XXXX, I became very XXXX, and a colleague took me to a stand alone emergency room where I was seen by a XXXX who diagnosed XXXX XXXX. I had XXXX XXXX, and felt like I had the XXXX. Having just relocated to the area, I had a new insurance plan, and did not know where I could go for care. I did not know either that there were health services providers that fell under Emergency Room and others under Urgent Care. I provided all my information, address, insurance, and asked the clerk to verify that they were on my plan. I was so sick that week. In XX/XX/XXXX, I had a major car accident, through no fault of mine. I also had medical issues and was paying all the medical bills. In XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX, I received a bill from the emergency room and was paying {$10.00} to {$20.00} per month. Then, I received a notification that my account had been turned in to AMCOL. I called AMCOL and explained that I did not have a bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX until XXXX, that I was making payments, that I had a lot of other medical bills that I was paying on due to the car accident.. I requested a copy of the bill, and asked AMCOL to reverse the account to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have friends who are doctors, and they told me that the service provider can always recall a bill from a collection agency, especially because an unpaid bill can be a tax write-off. The AMCOL employe that talked to me told me that it was not possible ; that they were not sending accounts back to the provider, and that if I did not pay, that was going to impact my credit report negatively. I asked her if it was a threat, she repeated the part about a negative impact on my credit report. Information on my credit report for that specific bill was modified several times because I questioned why the coding on my report was changed from " paid '' to " no data '' to " derogatory '', because I kept calling and asking questions. Also why was that information only reported to one of the credit bureaus, and not the others, and when I asked, the other credit bureaus adjusted their report to match the first one that posted the report, without even verifying any information. I offered to pay a little every month, since I had so many other medical bills. She agreed. I asked her about my credit report, and she told me that as long as I paid the bill, my credit report would be ok ; she would remove any notice about a collection.. When I had enough money to pay the bill off, in XX/XX/XXXX, I did. In XXXX, I was considering buying a home, and was looking to be pre-approved. I went to my bank, and was told that my credit was something like 620. I was surprised because the last time I had needed my credit score, it was above 750. I requested a copy of my credit report and notice the derogatory negative report from AMCOL. I called AMCOL and was told, that because it was in collection, it stayed on my report. I reminded the person that I was told that once the bill was paid, that would not impact my credit report or my score. The response from the clerk was that it was her decision and that it stayed on my report. I contacted the emergency room, and they referred me to the emergency room holding company. I made contact, then drove to their corporate office to be able to speak with someone. I spoke with the Patient Relations Manager who was very surprised by the derogatory report since the bill had been paid in full. She researched billing and emailed me the receipts with the AUD # for each. She also checked with AMCOL who told her that once the AUD # is obtained, it is up to the credit bureau to remove it. I called the credit bureau ( XXXX ) and asked them to update my credit report based on the information provided by the Patient relations Manager, they responded that they were not allowed to take any information over the phone, and also that they had received a call from Amcol stating that they were maintaining the derogatory report.So XXXX maintained the information, and that information was shared with the other credit bureau, even though the bill was paid. I contacted the Patient Relations Manager, she was very surprised by this, and advised me to file a dispute with XXXX I did file a dispute and XXXX denied it because they were taking the recommendation of AMCOL. How can a credit bureau purport to present an accurate picture of a person 's credit worthiness, and lean towards the business versus the consumer/customer? I went through divorce proceedings that lasted more than 10 years, and cost me more than a {$100000.00}, I have had XXXX cars accidents, and for none of them am I at fault, and of course, the other motorists either had the least insurance or none at all, and I am paying the bills, I have had to fly overseas several times to attend a funeral in my close family. I have XXXX children, and my ex-husband was not working, so all the medical insurance, all the clothes, school supplies, ... were on me. My car was totaled, I had to buy a new one. I had to relocate for my job 3 times, at my own costs. The last car accident triggered major health issues that required major XXXX. right now, I am paying on close to 45 medical bills. Considering what I have gone through, and what I have and am sttill dealing with, I have an amazing credit history! Yet, that is not being considered. That medical bill was paid! There should not be any impact on a credit report because of a medical bill. That cost me 100 points! For one bill that was paid! Why file a complaint now? Because the derogatory notice is still impacting my credit score, and causing negative consequences to my ability to obtain a good interest rate and be pre-approved by a lender for a mortgage to buy a house. Look at my credit report : 15 years ago, my score was above 850. And then, there was life, ..and that derogatory report dropped my score by a 100 points.

I visited XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for an emergency situation. Upon completion of the visit, I never received a bill from them so I assumed my insurance company had paid the bill. 9 months later I started receiving collection calls from XXXX XXXX XXXX telling me I owed a debt and it had subsequently been turned into collections and they were attempting to collect the debt. Since I had never received notice of the debt, I promptly disputd the debt, both in writing and verbally. They refused to cooperate with me, so I called the original creditor XXXX XXXX to seek resolution with them. Upon multiple contacts with them, they admitted that they had the wrong address and contact telephone number for me. They also refused to assist me despite be offering to pay the debt in full to resolve the issue. They claimed they could not " pull back '' the account from Amcol and I would have to work with them. I thereby contacted Amcol, and requested an itemized statement advising me of the changes. After one month I still had not received the information and they promised to provide me with the information within that week. When I finally received the information ( after 2 requests and 3 weeks waiting ) I immediately called then and had an in depth discussion with them and during that conversation they promised to remove the negative reporting if I paid the debt in full that day by using a credit or debit card. In order to remove the negative reporting I immediately paid the debt in full using my credit card. However 30 days later I received notification from the credit bureau that the account had been tuned over to collection despite what was represented to me. I called Amcol to discuss this and they informed me there was NOTHING they were willing/going to do. I filed 2 disputes with the credit bureau and have received no relief. They refuse to update the status as anything other that " paid '' .This has been a clear violation of FDCPA and UDAPP as they failed to notify me of the debt and provide me with proof of the debt in a timely fashion, while continuing to call me daily at home and work even though I asked them not to. I made commitments to cure the issue and make a 100 % full payment based on their promise, however it appears they had no intention of removing the negative information. I fell mislead and lied to. they took advantage of my desperation and knew my huge concern about having negative information of my credit report. They have damaged my credit as well as caused me emotional distress with the worry of how this is going to impact my future credit goals. had I been made aware of the debt I would have paid it. I have established a good credit history and would not ruin that success on a {$640.00} medical debt. I seek the negative to be reporting to be removed as originally promised so that I can move forward and retain my positive credit history again. It is causing me major life obstacles as I am needing to relocate for my job and purchase a home for myself and my XXXX XXXX XXXX children. Their tactics were unscrupulous. They continued to call me daily despite the fact that debt had been disputed which denies me of my dispute rights until I was able to review and verify the debt. I also think it was a egregious that they would use a bait and switch tactic in order to get me to pay the debt in full. ( offering to remove the negative reporting if I promised to pay on the spot ) What is even more disturbing is that they refuse to listen to my complaints and refuse to remove the negative reporting. The negative reporting should be removed and the account should be closed or deleted. As I stated above I would have paid the bill had I known about the debt. I would NEVER ignore and thereby allow something to go to collections when it would damage my credit report. XXXX XXXX had the option to pull back the account to avoid collection and secondly, AMCOL had the option to uphold what was conveyed to me and not blatantly take my money with no intention of correcting the negative reporting as promised. They feel they have upheld all FCRA requirements and that is false. at the time they reported the past due debt we were unsure if I was even the true owner of the debt. I had not even seen the itemized statement from Amcol ( they said " one got lost in the mail '' and the other one took upwards to a week to receive it. This has caused me great harm and I seek to be made whole by them removing the debt that was reported late. the debt did not become late as when I sought out the alleged debt I was not financially responsible for it until I was able to verify the debt.Once I verified the debt as mine I immediately called them to discuss payment options and what could be done about the negative reporting which was grossly premature.it was at that time that I took the offer of them removing the negative reporting in exchange for payment in full. I did my part and implore that they do the same

I received a letter dated XX/XX/2023 from AMCOL , Inc. purporting to collect a debt on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( " XXXX '' ). AMCOL 's reference number is XXXX, and XXXXXXXX XXXX account number is XXXX. XXXX is not entitled to the amount in dispute by virtue of the federal No Surprises Act ; and therefore, AMCOLs attempts to collect this amount are impermissible, thereby violating violate the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act ( FDCPA ). I visited the emergency room at XXXX on XX/XX/2023. XXXX billed my insurance XXXX, XXXX, for the visit, and was paid a substantial amount. XXXX has unlawfully attempted to bill me for the balance of an emergency room bill in excess of XXXX responsibility. XXXX has called me numerous times and sent me numerous bills, attempting to collect various amounts, most of which were higher than the {$1600.00} claimed in AMCOLs recent letter. I have already commenced a dispute with XXXX through the No Surprises Help Desk, complaint number XXXX, yet XXXX wrongfully and unlawfully sent this account to collections despite its actual knowledge that the dispute resolution process has been commenced. XXXX is prohibited from collecting this bill which is a balance bill for emergency services, and therefore, a surprise medical bill pursuant to the No Surprises Act. More specifically, the No Surprises Act states that : In the case of a participant, beneficiary, or enrollee with benefits under a group health plan or group or individual health insurance coveragewho is furnishedemergency services ( for which benefits are provided under the plan or coverage ) with respect to an emergency medical condition with respect to a visit at an emergency department of a hospital or an independent freestanding emergency department in the case that the hospital is a nonparticipating emergency facility, the emergency department of a hospital shall not bill, and shall not hold liable, the participant, beneficiary, or enrollee for such emergency services so furnished that is more than the cost-sharing requirement for such servicesand in the case that such services are furnished by a nonparticipating provider, the health care provider shall not bill and shall not hold liable, such participant, beneficiary, or enrollee for a payment amount for an emergency medical condition and visit for which the individual receives emergency services at the hospitalthat is more than the cost-sharing requirement for such services furnished by the provider See 42 U.S.C. 300gg-131 ( a ) ( in pertinent part ) ( emphasis supplied ) ; See also 42 U.S.C. 300gg-111, et seq. I am a participant, beneficiary, and enrollee of a health insurance plan furnished by XXXX, which provides coverage for emergency services at both participating and nonparticipating facilities. I received emergency services for an emergency condition from XXXX, who is a nonparticipating provider under XXXX plan. XXXX billed XXXX, and was paid the amounts owed pursuant to the applicable cost-sharing services. Now, despite the broad and unequivocal prohibitions of the No Surprises Act, XXXX is billing me and attempting to hold me liable for a payment in excess of the amounts XXXX owed it as a nonparticipating provider of emergency services. XXXX, by trying to charge and collect a surprise medical bill from me, is brazenly violating the law, and AMCOL is aiding and abetting those violations. The FDCPA prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in the collection of any debt, including false representations of the legal status of any debt. AMCOL, by attempting to collect an amount that is expressly prohibited by federal law, is violating the FDCPA. In fact, this very scenario is such an obvious violation of both the No Surprises Act and FDCPA that it is the example given in an article on the CFPB website on the subject : For example, if you have insurance, a debt collector who claims you owe a debt arising from charges at out-of-network rates for emergency services could violate the FDCPA if those charges exceed the amount permitted by the NSA. Courts also have ruled that collecting an amount that exceeds what is owed would violate the FDCPA prohibition on unfair or unconscionable debt collection practices. See What Should I Know About Debt Collection and Credit Reporting if My Medical Bill was Sent to Collections? https : //www.consumerfinance.gov/ask-cfpb/what-should-i-know-about-debt-collection-and-credit-reporting-if-my-medical-bill-was-sent-to-collections-en-2122/ There is no question that XXXX and AMCOL are violating the No Surprises Act and the FDCPA by trying to unlawfully collect an amount prohibited by federal law. It is indisputable, and neither entity could ever hope to get a judgment to collect this amount.

To who m it may concern : I would like to make a complaint against a collection agency by the name of AMCOL Systems. AMCOL Systems has placed collection accounts onto my cre dit files that should have never gone to collections. Last year due to illness on several occasions I visited an urgent care/ stand-alone ER facility named XXXX XXXX XXXX Immediately when you enter the facility you are asked to fill out their forms telling them the reason for your visit, as well as they ask you for your insurance information, as well as they physically take your insurance cards, and drivers license, and they make photo copies of them. On every visit they have taken both of my insurance cards and copied them, but there has always been an issue where they will bill my primary insurance, but they dont bill my secondary. Then they start harassing me with bills for months, I have called them on many occasions reminding them to bill my secondary, yet they still fail to do so, then they start harassing me with bills. And on subsequent occasions when I have gone back to their facility, I have told the check-in staff that the medical billing office is not billing my secondary insurance. And I have been told that they would be contacted regarding this matter, as well as they will put a note on my chart. Well after some great amount of time of them failing to do their due diligence, and not billing both insurances, they finally sent the XXXX EOBs to my secondary, and my insurance has paid every bill that I have owed to that facility. But mind you, instead of from the beginning after any dates of my visiting their facility, and them billing both insurances and getting paid, and clearing my accounts, they decided to fraudulently put my medical bills into collections with t his AMCOL Systems, knowing full well that they had all of the information needed since last year to get any bills that they felt that I owed, FULLY PAID, and cleared. My secondary insurance will verify the facts that I have told you, they will tell you that they did note receive the requests for payments of my medical bills from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , until recently, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX . These bills could have been paid since last year, if both insurances were given claims for request for payment, but they did not. And then now instead of XXXX XXXX XXXX and AMCOL Systems taking responsibility that AMCOL should not have been involved in the first place, none of my debt should have been in collections, and even after being paid, AMCOL still has these debts on my credit files as open collections. And AMCOL is aware that they debts are fully paid, I had contacted the Better Business Bureau, and I had sent them proof of payment. And AMCOL is no w stating that they are going to place fraudulent information onto my credit files, calling these medical bills as PAID COLLECTIONS. A MCOL Systems is doing something that is illegal by law, none of these medical bills should have gone to collections to begin with, and AMCOL knows this that is why they are trying to cover what they did, by calling all of these debts PAID COLLECTIONS. I want AMCOL SYSTEMS to remove all of the collection accounts that they have placed onto my credit files, because they should have never been on my credit files to begin with. As well as I want them to remove the fraudulent PAID COLLECTIONS statements from my credit files immediately, because it is not my fault that the medical facility took forever in billing my secondary insurance. I want hard copy proof on AMCOLs letterhead that this has been done, and I want them to remove any fraudulent medical bills that they still have in their system on me removed, and hard copy proof provided about this as well. I have requested several times fo r AMCO Systems to provide me in writing with their license numbers and Registered Agent documentation, and proof that they are licensed to collect in my state, and they have not provided me with the requested information. I am seeking your assistance in having this company to provide me with all of the hard copy proof that I have requested. Thank You,

I have two negative collection reports showing in my credit report. Both are from the same visit to an emergency facility ( XXXX XXXX ) on XXXX but were billed from two separate companies. 1. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX charges, Account XXXX, client reference XXXX and 2. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Account XXXX, client reference XXXX This visit was covered by my copay, deductible payment and insurance payment to the facility and to the doctor. The overage charges were originally disputed with the company XXXX XXXX XXXX and we went through numerous calls to get this sorted out. The first call was on XXXX at XXXX XXXX mountain time where I was advised they would resubmit the charges to my insurance to get the proper insurance adjustments to the charges based on the in-network negotiated rates. No changes were made and I received a bill the following month with no changes which led to ... The next call was on XXXX at XXXX XXXX mountain time where XXXX stated that the insurance information had been received and the account adjustments were made. But I still got a bill the next month which led to.. The last call was to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX mountain time and was with XXXX. XXXX stated that the Explanation of Benefit for claim XXXX was received. In that EOB a check was issued to me for the payment of the charges approved in the amount of {$500.00} on check # XXXX and that amount was remitted to XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX on XXXX in transaction ID : XXXX. Explanataion of Benefit for claim XXXX issued me a check in the amount of {$100.00} on check # XXXX and that amount was paid to XXXX online on XXXX in transaction XXXXXXXXXXXXXX. Those two transactions resolved the insurance claim and payment for services provided. XXXX stated on the call on XX/XX/XXXX referenced above, that the EOB information was received and the account was updated but that the charges had already been sent to collection agency. She stated that XXXX XXXX XXXX sent the notice to AMCOL on XXXX and that since this was a process that had been resolved through the insurance agreement no other payments were necessary and the accounts should be closed and resolved. That was followed by a call to AMCOL on XXXX where I was redirected to call XXXX where I spoke with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXXXXXX XXXX mountain time to let him know that the collections were in dispute based on my earlier call with XXXX XXXX XXXX who assured me that they would let AMCOL know that the issue had been resolved. It was only after all of this that I discovered that the original medical company that did my billing was involved in a class action lawsuit about exactly these issues of fraudulent billing. That case is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), Texas Eastern District Court . The last updates to that case is on XX/XX/XXXX that there is a current stay in all claims pending further order of the court and that the original company has filed for bankruptcy protection : Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX Order Staying Case Thu XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX ORDER : It is hereby ORDERED that all claims asserted in the above-styled lawsuit are hereby STAYED pending further Order of the Court. It is further ORDERED that this case be ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSED during the pendency of the bankruptcy case. Signed by Judge XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. ( mem ) In the meantime, the collections against me have not been removed or placed into a temporary hold until this is all resolved so the negative collection records continue to impact my ability to qualify for rental applications or other loans and is impacting my financial ability to make decisions I need to make. I am currently at risk of losing housing because of these negative records on my credit history.

XXXX hospital assigned 3 collections accounts to Amcol Systems. I contacted Amcol Systems via telephone requesting VALIDATION of the 3 accounts, not Verification but VALIDATION on XX/XX/2018. The gentleman I spoke with was extremely rude and neglected to allow any payment arrangement to be made on the account. I was advised by the gentleman to contact XXXX business department to discuss alternative payment options. I advised the gentleman I would like to dispute the account in the amount of XXXX at which I was advise to contact XXXX Billing department. I contacted XXXX on XXXX XXXX at which time I made two payments one in the amount of XXXX and another in the amount of XXXX. Once the payment was completed I was given details about Financial Assistance if needed for the remaining balance of XXXX. On XXXX XXXX the two paid accounts in the amount of XXXX and XXXX appeared in collections on all three credit reports although the payments reported were paid in XX/XX/2018. I contacted Amcol Systems to advise of the this error and was directed back to XXXX Billing department. After speaking with XXXX on XXXX XXXX which again another rude representative that fail to acknowledge the error and was very argumentative. After discussing the issues multiple times and expressing how the negative reporting affected my credit score by decreasing 42pts I asked to speak with a team lead or Manager. I was then placed on hold for an extended amount of time while XXXX located a team lead. I was told the current team lead was delayed on a call, I agreed to continue to hold. Once XXXX returned back to the call I was advised by XXXX per her team lead " she would contact the correct department to request the payments be removed from the XXXX balance and applied to the correct accounts ''. I was also advised this request would take 7-10 business days. I expressed the urgency of having this issue addressed immediately due to being in the process of purchasing my first home. I was advised to contact Amcol Systems again to confirm the dates Amcol reported my two paid accounts and if the dates were past the date the initial payment was made the team lead would move forward with addressing this matter. Again I contacted Amcol Systems, this time I spoke with XXXX. I shared my concerns and XXXX confirmed Amcol Systems reported the XXXX paid collection accounts on XXXX XXXX. ( XXXX Wks after the two accounts was satisfied ) XXXX explained the payments were reported by XXXX and applied to the accounts as advised by XXXX. XXXX advised me to contact XXXX to have the payments modified to reflect the correct details and once the changes has been confirmed she would have the ability to update my credit file accordingly. I contacted XXXX again, this time speaking with XXXX in the billing department after reviewing my account he confirmed the request to transfer the payments to the correct accounts has been submitted and if approved the account would be updated. Amcol Systems failed to validate the above debt for XXXX Amcol Systems DID NOT provide me a copy of ANY original documentation required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me for negligent noncompliance ( Section 617 ) if fail to comply. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA I demand the account be verified.

I have a large medical bill. I have been paying monthly payments that are automatically deducted out of my checking account. Last year or so I received a letter in the mail saying that I was in collections and I was going to have a negative impact on my credit score because I was delinquent in paying my medical bill. When I spoke with the person he was very rude, nasty and said that I was in collections because I did not pay. I explained that this was wrong because I have a monthly payment plan and the money is taken out of my account automatically. He told me that I had to pay almost {$900.00} otherwise it would show up on my credit score. I paid it even though I did not have the money, that was the whole reason for having a monthly payment plan. I still owed money after that I continued to have monthly payments automatically taken out of my account. XX/XX/XXXX I paid off the balance with my new XXXX card that i have with me new employer. XX/XX/XXXX I paid {$920.00} with my XXXX card. but then I was notified by the XXXX that I could not do that because XXXX was only to be used for new accounts/bill from XXXX. I called Amcol and explained this to them and asked them to refund the payment. I was told that the payment had not gone through yet because it was still pending so I was all set. Amcol was taking monthly payments from my account. I called Amcol again in XX/XX/XXXX and they said that the {$920.00} payment did not go through and that they were taking money automatically out of my account. In XXXX I tried to use my XXXX card for a bill and it was declined. I was told that it is declined because of the {$920.00} payment to Amcol. I called Amcol numerous times and all I could do was leave a message, I left messages with my info and contact info. I never heard back. There were 2, 3 way phone calls made to Amcol by my XXXX with me, anthem and Amcol to fix this situation the calls were in late XXXX and in XXXX. We were told that they would be refunding me the {$920.00}. So, they have not refunded the {$920.00} and they are still taking monthly payments out of my account. They are taking monthly payments out of my account even though this debt was paid off at this point since they did get the money from my XXXX that they supposedly never submitted. Also, I explained to them that they have not send me a statement since XX/XX/XXXX and they tell me that they don't send statements for long term payment plans. They have been paid in full and they are taking monthly payments out of my account. No statements showing what I have paid or what I owe. I called them last week to get a status and they told me a check was sent XX/XX/XXXX. I just received a check and it was for {$80.00}. They are in a sense, stealing my money at this point. I have filed a complaint with XXXX and I am going to contact my state representatives and delegates and will have to get a lawyer. All of this is unacceptable. I am hoping someone will help me with this issue.

I had a medical bill, Amcol called me and asked if I would be interested in setting up a payment plan, I told them yes, and the agreement was, XXXX a month to be drafted out of my bank account for 36 months. The first payment was drafted on XX/XX/XXXX it was an over the phone payment to get started. Each month there after Amcol drafted XXXX a month from my bank account. In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notice from my bank saying we have been made aware your card number have been exposed in a data breach at a merchant location, etc ( I have the letter ) we are sending you a new card. I received a new card, and on XX/XX/XXXX I activated my new card. On XX/XX/XXXX I got a call from Amcol from a lady name XXXX, I tried to explain to her what happen and it was not a problem I just got a new visa/debit card and I will give Amcol the information so they could debit my account, I told her I would call them later that day because I was on the road driving to an appt. on XX/XX/XXXX, I called Amcol and I did not want to speak with XXXX again because she was rude, I spoke with a lady name XXXX, I gave XXXX my new debit card information and she said she was going to process the payment, on XX/XX/XXXX Amcol put the debt on my credit report. The last payment Amcol debit from my account was on XX/XX/XXXX. From the beginning of the agreement XX/XX/XXXX until now I have not missed a payment or been late. Amcol miss used there authority, Amcol normally draft my account on the 6,7 or 8th of each month, Amcol had my new debit card information on XX/XX/XXXX. Amcol had no reason to put this debt on my credit report when I was paying the bill in agreement with the arrangement we had made. I was not late when I gave Amcol my new debit card information. I would like to keep making my payments and I will give it my all to pay the debt off sooner so I don't have to deal with Amcol any more, and I would like for them to take that debt off my credit report, because its a lie to say the debt was not being paid or late. I have my bank statement of every payment I have made, ( XX/XX/XXXX ) This should be against the law for a debt collector to put any thing on any ones credit report when they are paying the bill. What I don't understand is why is Amcol willing to hurt the creditor they are working for to collect payments for them? I should not have to plead my case, when I am so willing to get my bill paid and keep my credit good. I am praying someone can help me. I have worked really hard to keep my bills in good standing. Hope to hear from someone soon. I have my bank statements and letter from bank, let me know if you need them.

I contact Amcol Systems on XX/XX/2023. Approximately XXXX months prior I asked for an itemized statement from this company and received it in XX/XX/2023. Was prepared to pay the debt went to their website where it indicated, I need to add a reference number. There was no reference number anywhere on the bill. When I spoke with a representative there, they said that I should've known that a reference number is actually what they indicated a locator number. I asked them to run the payment they told me there would be a fee of {$4.00} and I asked them because of their unclear website, if they would waive the fee and absolutely refuse when I asked to speak with a supervisor, she repeatedly told me that nobody would ever waive this fee. I feel I had to demand to speak with a supervisor which I should be able to ask for mine and be transferred over. I got to a supervisor whose name was XXXX she said she was the operations manager I explained everything above she still will not waive the fee I asked her what kind of settlement she could offer me which was approximately {$360.00} less than the bill. I accepted that settlement and I paid with my debit card and also pay the {$4.00} fee. I requested a letter or statement that says that my account is now closed with them. She absolutely refuse to provide that for me I didn't understand why. I asked for her supervisors name she said I couldn't talk to them. I said I didn't wan na talk to them. I just wanted a name. She refused to give me that she said she would send me a receipt on the payment. I did not get this either. I'm very concerned because I do not have any proof that this was settled that they are going to come back and tried to charge me additional fees I think that I'm entitled to get a receipt and I'm entitled to get a statement from them that my account with them is closed, I do not have any choice that my hospital uses them for collections. I don't feel that they are in compliance with your regulations without providing me a receipt statement that my account is closed and also charging me a fee just to process my debit card. Based on reviews of this company, there is plenty of notifications that they do come back charge people again on a paid off account saying they never received a payment which now other than my bank statement I have no proof. I want proof of my payment and proof of my account being closed thank you

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a notice of collection from Amcol Systems ; located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX SC XXXX. I sent a letter on XX/XX/XXXX notifying them that the debt is in dispute and to cease collection efforts, until the debt is validated. I subsequently contacted by phone requesting that they send me a breakdown of the charges to which this debt is associated. I never received that information. I then contacted the original creditor XXXX and asked them to send me the breakdown of charges. I then received another bill from XXXX for a bill which included the total charges and no breakdown of the charges. I attempted for months to dispute the collection and the collectors ability to put this on my credit without validating it's accuracy. But I received no assistance from the credit bureau 's or the original creditor as to the breakdown of charges. It is my belief that the collection company has illegally continued to collect on a debt which has not been verified, after they received a notice to cease collection. This has been done by putting it on my credit report, thereby damaging my credit and potentially forcing me to pay it off in order to receive a loan from future lenders. After waiting for the bureaus and the collection company to provide me with the breakdown of charges, I then contacted the original creditor and requested a breakdown from them again. During that phone call with XXXX at XXXX she said they don't out a list of charges but that they were only general line item charges by category. I then pressed her for an itemized bill with all the charges, she was reluctant but then said she would do it. I received the itemized bill with all the charges on XX/XX/XXXX. I have still not gone through the itemization to see if the charges are all valid and correct, but yet the collection company has ruined my credit without any validation of the debt. Per section 809 of t '' the fair Debt Collection Practices Act '' the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt ... Until the collector obtains verification of the debt or any copy of judgement. Having put a collection account on my credit before validating the debt ( upon being notified ) is braking the law. I want the collection removed from my credit, until the debtor or collector has proof of the validity of the debt by judgement of a court.

on XX/XX/XXXX I went to the XXXX, acct # XXXX, for emergency services. I did not have insurance at the time so I filed for charity care. i was approved for charity care to cover XXXX % of the charges and XXXX % of any future visits for the next 12 months. on XX/XX/XXXX I went to XXXX, acct # XXXX, for emergency services. i received a bill for this visit and i forwarded the charity care determination which shows XXXX to be responsible for XXXX % of the charges. I never heard anything else about this. XX/XX/XXXX I noticed a new collection item on my credit from AMCOL, acct # XXXX. I immediately disputed this as being paid in full. XX/XX/XXXX, I received a phone call from representative on behalf of XXXX trying to collect this debt again. I advised about the charity care and forward them over all documentation. They advised me this would be closed out. I then forwarded this to AMCOL who told me they would investigate it. Lastly I reached out to XXXX Billing who also said they would investigate this and have the account pulled out of the collection agency. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called to follow up and ensure this was removed as this is negatively impacting my credit. I was told by XXXX Billing that I have to re-fax everything again and they can not tell me a time-frame of resolution. I expressed my concern because every month this continues, my credit is being damaged. I then reached out AMCOL and spoke with a rep named XXXX who told me that XXXX advised that this debt is still owed and that they will not accept my charity care letter because the account number XXXX is not listed on it. I advised to the rep that Charity care states they do not have to add the account number to the letter because under XXXX XXXX it states that XXXX is responsible for all payments for future visits 12 months after the original visit, which this visit falls in that category. As of today, there is no resolution and no urgency to correct this. I have been going around with both companies while my credit continues to get damaged. AMCOL also tried to state that XXXX was only responsible for XXXX % and i had to explain that the handwriting looks like that but you can see where is says patient responsible for XXXX % and that it is truly XXXX % which charity care can confirm to both AMCOL and XXXX.

This debt was a result of medical services with the original creditor, XXXX XXXX XXXX. After application and review by the original creditor ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) it was determined that I was not the responsible paying party and had no liability for this debt and as such it was paid by Insurance or other Government Agency and therefore as I had no obligation for this debt so no collection would exist. According to my records, the original creditor recalled this debt from collection agency with instructions to close the account in the collectors office and to remove any item that had been placed on any credit reports. Instead they just closed it and continue to report it on my credit report. it should be removed and not merely updated as a Paid Collection. On XX/XX/XXXX, I mailed to Amcol Systems Inc a letter ( attached ) in which I disputed this account and requested that it be removed from my consumer credit reports that they had reported to. I never received a response from this company. On XX/XX/XXXX I initiated a direct dispute with XXXX requesting that this item be removed as it was paid by INSURANCE directly to the Original Creditor. XXXX responded that the collection Agency Amcol Systems had verified this account as being reported true and accurate and so it would remain. It is my belief that neither party did a meaningful and complete investigation into this matter because if they did they would have removed this false, inaccurate and misleading account as I was not the responsible paying party. As this was paid by Insurance or other government agency directly to the original creditor and the original creditor has determined I am not the responsible paying party this should be deleted from my Consumer Credit report and not just updated to show a paid collection. In addition after my dispute directly with XXXX, the furnisher of this information Amcol Systems went in and done an update to my credit report and marked it as a closed derogatory account and changed the close date to reflect XX/XX/XXXX in order to make this account look like a new closed collection in a further attempt to damage my credit rating and cause me to suffer financial losses by having to pay higher interest rates. I want this removed from all credit reporting agencies.

Per XXXX, I have an adverse account with Amcol Systems Inc with a partial account number XXXX**** at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX , SC XXXX XXXX. This file shows a collection for {$150.00} as Medical in XXXX of 2015. This information does not show up on any other credit bureau repository. I have never been contacted by anyone about this matter nor does this have anything to do with me. This collection is negatively impacting my credit score. I don't check my credit reports very often as I have a " Freeze '' on my account. I decided to get a copy of my report, this year, as a check and to clean up any erroneous information. I found this addition when I received my report. Credit Reporting agencies bare a responsibility to notify consumers when negative information is being added to their file so that both sides of the story are reflected. Unfortunately, credit repositories, like XXXX, simply add negative information to a consumer 's file without contacting the consumer. This has been a part of my file since 2015, without my knowledge. Yes, I should have been more attentive in checking my file ( s ) yet the credit bureau repositories are a profit oriented businesses and should be involved in investigating adverse reports. I also think the that there should be a minimum dollar amount, say {$500.00} or {$1000.00} that can be reported as even a {$10.00} collection will have negative consequences. While I should have contacted XXXX about this, first, I believe there are other consumers who have had a similar experience. Furthermore, I don't think I should have to prove my innocence vs a creditor/credit reporting agency proving that a consumer owes money. There has to be a minimum amount owed and a minimum amount of effort spent trying to collect before a request is made to add adverse information. At the very least, making sure that adverse information belongs to the correct consumer. This isn't the first time this has happened to me. The reporting agency removed incorrect information from my file, once contacted, yet there is no way to quantify the damage done while the incorrect information was part of my file nor did the reporting agency add comment about the erroneous information removed and how it got there.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding your collection agency 's behavior, particularly your deceptive claim that you work on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX in connection with an alleged debt. Such deceptive practices are not only unethical but also in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I demand that you immediately cease all collection activities related to this account. I have taken the necessary steps to verify my financial obligations with my insurance provider and can confirm that no outstanding debt exists with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. Your false assertion of this debt is not only misleading but also a direct violation of the FCRA. Under the FCRA, you are required to provide me with the following documentation to validate the alleged debt : 1. **Original Documentation : ** I request that you provide the original documentation, including invoices, bills, and itemized statements, which demonstrate the legitimacy of the debt in question. 2. **HIPAA Release Form : ** Given the sensitivity of medical records, I insist that you produce a HIPAA release form authorizing your access to my medical information, as is legally required to proceed with any medical debt collection. 3. **Chain of Ownership : ** Provide a complete chain of ownership and all relevant records of this alleged debt account from its origin to the current holder, as required by FCRA . Failure to provide this information promptly will be considered a willful violation of my rights as a consumer under the FCRA, compounded by your deceitful practices. I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and ensure that such deceptive practices do not go unchecked. I demand that you respond to this dispute within 30 days of receiving this letter. Any further collection attempts without proper validation will be met with immediate legal action, and I will report your company to the appropriate regulatory authorities. I expect your full cooperation in rectifying this situation in a lawful and ethical manner. Deception has no place in debt collection, and I will not tolerate any further harassment or untruthful tactics. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I pulled my credit report on XXXX as apart of a monthly monitoring service that I have to help clean my credit. I noticed XXXX medical collections accounts under Amcol Systems that I was unaware of. I called Amcol immediately on XXXX at approximately XXXX. I spoke with a rep named XXXX. Upon reading the disclosure and verifying my information, she stated an address for me that did not exist. The address that she had on file for me was XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NC XXXX. I expressed to her that is not my address and that address does not exist at all. She asked for my correct address and it was given to her. During the call I paid the entire amount that was owed because it was due. I expressed to her that these XXXX colletion accounts were showing on my credit unfairly because I NEVER received the letters or invoice that these amounts were due because they had the incorrect address on file. I asked if that these accounts be removed because they reported incorrectly and under false pretenses that I received the letters and neglected to pay for my debt. XXXX stated that she would need to speak with a supervisor in order to get that approved. She called me two days later and said that XXXX accounts would be removed from file. I asked about the other XXXX as I never received letters for those as well due to the incorrect address on file. She could not answer my question. I pulled my credit today and the accounts are still showing on my credit, however XXXX accounts have been updated to a XXXX balance and the other XXXX have not ALTHOUGH ALL XXXX accounts were paid in full on XXXX. I need help in rectifying this situation before I seek an attorney. I should not have to be bullied into paying for an attorney when the collection agency is not doing their part. After they verified that they had the incorrect address on file for me, they need to do what is right and that is update my credit report correctly and have these accounts removed since I never received correspondence. I did my due diligence and paid ALL accounts in full the same day that I found out about the accounts and that was a total of {$1400.00}. Please help me in this situation. many thanks

XXXX XXXX, 2017 To whom it may concern : I need assistance from your organization. I would like to file a complaint against a collection agency by the name of AMCOL SYSTEMS INC. This collection agency has placed a fraudulent collection onto my credit files, and I want this fraudulent information removed immediately. This agency has placed a collection in the amount of {$1500.00} onto my credit files, claiming that I owe these funds to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. They are claiming that I owe this Care Now style emergency room this money. I have not visited that facility in over a year, and any claims that were created during my visit at that time, have already been paid in full, by my insurance carrier some time ago. From what I have learned, there is a lawsuit that has been recently filed against this medical facility, and I presume that this is why they have recently changed their name. That medical facility has a bad record of exorbitantly overcharging patients for minor services performed, as well as not crediting patients for medical bills that have been paid, they use different AKAs when it comes to collecting payments, and I suppose this causes confusion for them, so the one that suffers is the patient, because the billing staff cant keep their records straight. This collection agency has broken the law, they are committing slander of credit, because they are charging me for a debt that I do not owe, as well as they also did not contact me at all prior to placing this fraudulent information onto my credit files to verify the accuracy of this debt. They have damaged my credit rating, and thereby caused me harm, and this has influenced my ability to conduct my financial transactions, and I am seriously considering initiating legal action against this collection agency. I want AMCOL Systems Inc. to provide to me in writing, proof that they are licensed to collect in my state, as well as, I would like proof of their license numbers, and their Registered Agent documentation. I want AMCOL to respond directly back to your organization, and you can provide me with their response, I want your agency fully involved in my complaint.

On XX/XX/XXXX I was a patient at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to receive XXXX in my XXXX. I paid the amount due at the time of the visit, which was something like {$100.00} - {$150.00}. The remainder of the bill was sent to my insurance company. Unbeknownst to me at the time of needing XXXX in my XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was not in network for my insurance company, and as a result I ended up owing additional funds to the service provider. They sent me a bill, which -- as happens from time-to-time -- fell through the cracks as I was traveling a lot for my job during that period. A few months later, the bill was sent to AMCOL Systems for collection. This is very atypical for me ; I have worked very hard for the better part of my adult life to establish good credit. I am very protective of my credit score, and it was never my intention to willfuly ignore the debt. However, my job continued to be extremely demanding at that time and required that I move my family to a new city. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted AMCOL to pay the debt. Rather than negotiating a discounted payoff, I asked them if they would remove the collection from my credit report if I paid the debt in full. They did tell me that it was unlikely they would have the debt removed from my credit, but that a " paid in full '' status would be significantly better for my credit than " paid as agreed. '' I did pay them in full, but my credit has not improved as they said it would. I 've since called them multiple times and talked with multiple people asking them to please stop reporting my paid in full debt to the bureaus, but they simply will not do it. I know they absolutely have the ability to have the bureaus remove the collection from my report, but they simply choose not to because of their company policy - a policy that clearly is not in the best interest of American consumers. Not only is their policy unfair and unjust, but they continue to report to the bureaus every 2 weeks that my debt was paid in full, which keeps it at the top of my credit report and will continue to make it appear as a young debt. At this point it just feels spiteful.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received emergency medical services from XXXX XXXX of TX. In early XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX merged with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). At the time of my service, I paid the required {$250.00} fee and my health care provider, XXXX paid all other charges. In mid-XX/XX/XXXX, I received notification from a collection firm entitled, AMCOL, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, SC - ( XXXX ) XXXX. They indicated that they were retained by XXXX to collect {$250.00}. I explained to them that I had inquired with XXXX and learned that all fees had been paid and that I owed nothing. I also sent in a written letter, via US Mail, to dispute of this charge. This apparently went on deaf ears and AMCOL continued to attempt contact with me. I again called them and informed them of the wrongful charges. While on vacation onXX/XX/XXXX, my credit monitoring service, XXXX, informed me that I had at least two collection account, XXXX and XXXX that had been added to me credit bureau report.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called XXXX to request additional assistance and their representative name XXXX and I got on the phone with XXXX 's representative named, XXXX. XXXX looked at my account and immediately stated that this account was sent to AMCOL in error. She stated that my account had been paid in full. On another line, XXXX called AMCOL and spoke with XXXX to have this account removed from further action and to also delete the wrongful collection notice that was erroneously reported to the credit bureau companies. XXXX stated that I would be receiving a formal letter from XXXX along with the AUD number which would confirm that this collection account had been removed from my credit bureau reports. XXXX indicated that she would call me by XX/XX/XXXX and inform me regarding the AUD number and that my CBRs would be cleared of this wrongful entry made by AMCOL.

As I write this complaint, nothing has taken place and I am extremely concerned and frustrated. I have always paid all of bills and I have been blessed with an XXXX credit score. I do the right thing and I am appalled by this treatment.

I had my report pull in XXXX XXXX I found unverified information listed on my report.I received a information that under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, I am requesting that you allow me to validate the alleged debt. I am aware that there is a debt from AMCOL SYSTEMS INC but I am unaware of the amount due and your bill does not include a breakdown of any fees. Additionally, I am allowed under the HIPAA law [ HEALTH INSURANCE PORTABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF XX/XX/XXXX ], to protect my privacy and medical records from third parties. I do not recall giving permission to { name of provider } for them to release my medical information to a third party. I am aware that the HIPAA does allow for limited information about me but anything more is to only be revealed with the patients authorization, therefore my request is twofold and as follows : Validation of Debt and HIPAA authorization -Please provide breakdown of fees including any collection costs and medical charges -Provide a copy of my signature with the provider of service to release my medical information to you -Cease any credit bureau reporting until debt has been validated by me Please send this information to my address listed above and accept this letter-sent certified mail as my formal debt validation request, which I am allowed under the FDCPA. Please note that withholding the information you received from any medical provider in an attempt to be HIPAA compliant can be a violation of the FDCPA because you will be deceiving me after my written request. I request full documentation of what you received from the provider of service in connection with this alleged debt. Additionally, any reporting of this debt to the credit bureaus prior to allowing me to validate it may be a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which can allow me to seek damages from a collection agent. I will await your reply with above requested proof. Upon receiving it, I will correspond back with you certified mail.

On XX/XX/XXXX, a visit to XXXX XXXX XXXX had taken place. Insurance information was provided, Full Coverage XXXX, and it was said that no balance was owed. The hospital never reached out via mail or telephone regarding a balance. On XX/XX/XXXX, the account was sold to Amcol Systems Inc. of XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX SC, XXXX with a balance of {$1100.00}. The collection account was then added to a credit report, which in how the whole situation even came to light. The collection agency was then reached out to in regards of just gathering information on this collection account. The representative that was spoken to was extremely rude and disrespectful, using obscene and abusive language. When asked to locate the collection account under the social security number of the accused individual they could find ZERO accounts under that social security number. They had to search between different variations of names, telephone numbers, and addresses to even locate an account under the individuals name. When asked to provide documentation to the individual the representative was very hesitant in response, said that it would be sent out, but nothing was ever received. The individual has filed disputes against the collection account with XXXX and XXXX which have resulted in nothing. The individual has also reached out to XXXX, in which XXXX stated that the individual did indeed have Full Coverage XXXX at the time of the visit on XX/XX/XXXX and that they would gladly provide that information. Though, they will not be willing to pay the bill off because you can not file a claim with XXXX if it has been over a year from service. The individual is now reaching out to Consumer Financial hoping to have this reconciled and removed. The bill should have been billed to insurance, the collection account is not tied to the correct social, and the representative was rude and obscene. The contracted was also canceled when the account was sold and wrote off to the Collection Agency via XXXX XXXX XXXX, therefore there is no contract.

AMCOL reported {$670.00} not paid to credit bureaus. I contacted XXXX XXXX directly via online, and paid the {$670.00} in full on XX/XX/XXXX2019. I attempted to dispute the report, but was unsuccessful. I saw that XXXX reported the amount again on XX/XX/XXXX. I tried to dispute again on XX/XX/XXXX, unsuccessful. On XX/XX/2019, I contacted AMCOL ( XXXX ) to gain information as to why they continue to report the amount on my credit when I paid to the company directly. I asked her when the correspondence was sent to me regarding the amount due by the third party, she said the company had no record and would not be able to confirm. I ended up speaking with a manager, XXXX, who stated that AMCOL sent correspondence in XXXX, which I never received. I told her that I did pay, but she said they would have to wait for XXXX XXXX to confirm payment. By the end of the conversation she said she would expedite trying to locate the payment confirmation. I contacted XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), thereafter, spoke with a rep, XXXX, who stated that their records confirmed my payment of {$670.00} on XX/XX/XXXX2019 and pulling my information from collections on that same date. I called AMCOL back and ended up speaking with XXXX again who then said she received payment confirmation fifteen minutes ago. I expressed my disbelief that the company just received confirmation from XXXX XXXX on today. I also let her know that XXXX XXXX confirmed pulling my information from collections the same day the balance was paid. Because I have disputed this item multiple times, I can not dispute again and it's showing up negatively on my credit report for XXXX even though the bill was paid at the end of XXXX and pulled from collections at that same time. AMCOL did not follow up with my account properly and continued to make false reports on to the credit bureaus.

I had a debt owed to a XXXX office resulting from some amount not paid by my insurance carrier associated with the procedures by this XXXX office during my visit. I was never notified of any amount due ( {$65.00} ) by the XXXX office. Instead, they sent the amount due to their collection agency AMCOL Systems Inc. So the first notice I received of owing any amount was from this collection agency threatening to report the unpaid item to my credit bureau if I did not paid the debt or dispute the debt within 30 days. I did not have any opportunity to see the details and an explanation of the amount due from XXXX before being contact by a collection agency. I called AMCOL Systems and explained that I had not had any previous notice of any debt from XXXX and they stated they knew nothing about the collection practices of XXXX associated with prior notice. They simply stated that the debt had been turned over to them for collection and I would need to pay them. I strongly believe that XXXX is maintaining a policy of not providing any follow-up notice to patients of a debt owed as a result of an amount not paid by the insurance carrier but is utllizing the practice of just turning over any amounts due from patient visits directly to AMCOL Systems for collection and paying their fee for the collection services. I consider this practice to be very inappropriate, unfair and XXXX to patients, like myself, who always pay valid debts in a timely manner and have a very high credit rating. Allowing a collection service to threaten impacting my credit rating when I have not been given any prior invoice with details of the amounts owed to XXXX needs to be stopped. I would have gladly paid XXXX directly had I been sent details of the amount owed directly from XXXX.

I immediately responded by certified mail dated XXXX XXXX, 2017, delivered XXXX XXXX,2017 XXXX XXXX requesting validation of debt as I am certain I have never done business with AMCOL Systems and also requested that all attempts to collect this alleged debt be made in writing.I did not receive a response. In XXXX 2017, I received another notice dated XXXX XXXX, 2017. The balance due on this letter indicated {$60.00}. I promptly responded via certified mail dated XXXX XXXX, 2017 delivered XXXX XXXX, 2017 at XXXX.In this letter I reiterated that I do not owe this company any money as I have never heard of them prior to the first letter. I requested proper debt validation under the Texas Finance Code. I received a statement of bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$60.00} dated XXXX XXXX, 2017. The patient listed was NOT me. I responded again via certified mail dated XXXX XXXX, 2017 delivered XXXX XXXX, 2017 at XXXX advising that the documentation provided does not validate that I owe this company money. I never heard back from AMCOL Systems. On XXXX XXXX, 2017, I received an alert from my credit monitoring service that AMCOL Systems placed XXXX collection accounts on my credit file! I am not only livid that this company has failed to provide proper validation, they have violated my rights. This company has made multiple phone calls after being advised to communicate in writing. Between XXXX 2017 and XXXX 2017, this company has called me a total of 62 times. I have recorded the date and time of these calls which I will use to pursue legal action if necessary as well as copy of phone records to prove the violation.

This is the same restaurant that was in the news for having bad temperatures in their freezers and having to discard thousands of dollars in bad food products. At this point my bill had been sent to collections and I have almost paid the entire thing off while I have been going back and forth with XXXX and getting no where. I dine with XXXX quite frequently and also a member of XXXX select club and their XXXX XXXX club with the casino. I feel this is absolutely rediculous for them to treat customers this way and am reaching out to yall as a last leg for help. I do not feel obligated to pay this bill. I have been paying on my collections and have n't missed one payment. My account is up to date and in good standing however I have 2 derogatory marks on my credit right now because of this issue

I obtained a copy of my credit report in XX/XX/2017 and noticed that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Reporting as Amcol ), Inc.was reporting a collection account. I submitted a dispute letter to the credit bureaus regarding the account and they stated it was verified. To that end, I communicated in writing to Amcol in XX/XX/2017. I requested that they provide me copies of any documents proving my indebtness. See attached. I have not received any documentation to date to support the inaccurate, unverifiable entry they are continuing to report on my credit report. This company has had almost 6 months to respond. I have no recollection of ever owing them nor ever doing business with them whereby I signed a contract. The reporting of this entry is violating my consumer rights and therefore, should be removed immediately. The company should provide proof of all HIPPA information whereby I gave the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX permission to allegedly share my information with them as well as copies of their adherance to the Affordable Care Act where there was a screening performed as well as a clear summary that spells out the financial assistance/charity care options available if I am indeed responsible for this debt. Further, where are the copies of the letter XXXX XXXX XXXX should have sent in writing first, to advise me that they were turning over this alleged debt to the a collection agency. Also per ACA, once the collection agency, in this case, Amcol, received the debt, they were still responsible for providing billing information and payment plan options to help satisfy this alleged debt. As stated above, I have not received anything from this company.

In XX/XX/2017 I visited an emergency center for a XXXX XXXX. When walking in I was told my charge would be {$250.00} for them to look at my XXXX. As I was getting ready to see the Dr. ( the place was new and completely empty ) the receptionist asked If I had insurance which I said I did but would pay on my own knowing the price. She ( the reception lady ) said give me your card and we'll run it through your insurance. After giving her my card they took me to a room where the nurse took my blood pressure and temperature. She walked out, then the Dr walked in, asked me what was wrong so I told him. He wrote me a prescription for pain and walked out without another word. I left! Then several weeks later I get a bill saying that the insurance company would only pay around {$250.00} and that I was responsible for $ 1000+. Infuriated because I was told originally the fee was {$250.00} I called the company that owned the medical facility and was told that I was now responsible for the remainder. This is a scam and I've heard the Attorney General in Texas, where I was living, has been alerted to behaviour such as this and were investigating. I said two words to the Dr. who was in my room for not more than 2 minutes, he did nothing, my insurance paid the medical company around {$300.00} and I'm getting stuck with the scam! This can be referred to as nothing other than a scam because I was at the beginning told the fee was {$250.00} and now the collector is attempting to rip me off instead of the insurance company. This needs to stop! Please stand up for me and others who are being taken advantage of, please stop this scam!

I have already been suffering enough with this inaccurate data on my credit report, I prepare ways to circumvent talking about my financial status or shortcomings with everyone from family members to co-workers causing changes in the relationships that have shaped my life until this day. The stress that comes with this alleged debt ruining my creditworthiness can not be managed. As a XXXX mother, the financial expectations I am required to meet are unimaginable and it is a no-brainer that if I had the financial boost that good credit offers I would be in better shape to face daily challenges that come with my current predicament. Due to lenders turning down my applications I was forced to move out of my original state and ended up at my current address with no family or close friends to vent to leaving me visiting more social programs to help me deal with my stress and XXXX Now that I contact this company about this alleged debt there is no response?? furthermore AMCOL SYSTEMS INC is also reporting this alleged debt as an " Account '' which is inaccurate according to USC Title 15 1693A2 Therefore at this point this collection agency is knowingly furnishing false data on my credit report in violation of15 U.S. Code? 1692e. False or misleading representations and I demand them to Cease and desistfurnishing this alleged debt and notify all credit reporting agencies to delete it immediately.

I disputed a collection with XXXX several times in the past few years regarding Amcol Systems that they submitted to the credit agencies recorded on XX/XX/XXXX without my knowledge and without any validation of debt. The details state the original creditor as XXXX and the amount is for {$650.00}. I contacted XXXX and they do not have a record of this under my name. I do not recall going to XXXX. I had a different insurance thru my employer as well as HSA and any medical bills would have been paid with the combination of both. This is too old to investigate or to submit to insurance or HSA. I also asked them due to this automatically falling off my credit report next XX/XX/XXXX, if they would kindly remove, as I have never received any communication from this them over the past years. Furthermore, this credit agency is not licensed in the State of Michigan to perform collections in this state, so I believe they are illegally trying to collect a debt that not only is invalid, but they are not entitled to do so according to the Michigan State Attorney general office, which they have requested I file a complaint pending the results of your findings. I have been checking my credit reports and this is still appearing, therefore they are ignoring my request for removal and never offered any type of validation. I reached out to them also via email this week, I have proof of delivery and again received no response, not even an email reply to say they would look into this matter. If this was on one of their own credit reports, they would react in a timelier matter.

I have taken the liberty of typing up a letter outlining the dates and time. Here is a synopsis of what happen. I went to an urgent care facility that had been owned and operated as " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' this is also the signage on the building. However, at the time due to my illness I gave my insurance card to my brother in law and he filed out all the paperwork. Weeks later I get a bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX saying I owed them {$3700.00} dollars for the medical visit. I called my insurance company and the said XXXX XXXX XXXX was not in my network. I told them that it was not this company rather XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Unfortunately they sold out to XXXX XXXX XXXX and no longer accepted calls from the public. Everything went through XXXX XXXX XXXX. Will my issue here is they needed to take the sign down before operating as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, instead of giving the impression they were still an urgent care which would have been covered by my insurance. That said, I got no help from XXXX XXXX XXXX just a bunch of ping ponging me to different dept. So then I was told that they would work through my insurance carrier and help get this covered. Never heard any updates until Amcol reached out expressing that they were a debt collections agency and trying to collect now no longer just the {$3700.00} but also {$1900.00} for the primary doctor fees. At this point XXXX XXXX XXXX would not take my call as they said it was no longer being held as an in house debt.

Back in XX/XX/2017 I went to an urgent care facility, and used my insurance. I got a bill/credit notice in the mail for $ XXXX saying that was my portion due. Well, according to my insurance company ( XXXX ), I shouldn't have any outstanding balance as I was covered. When I called Amcol about the amount that hit my credit report they told me it was an unpaid hospital bill. Once I pulled the information out of them of who the original creditor was, I called their billing department and they were less than helpful. They said it doesn't matter what XXXX paid, that I was still responsible for the remaining balance. When I asked them to hold so that I could three-way my insurance company on the phone so that we could all get on the same page she told me she wouldn't be placed on hold and would hang up if I tried to do so. This amount being reported is INCORRECT, as my insurance has already paid their portion and I shouldn't be subject to pay anything additionally. Since this was an urgent care visit they informed me that the hospital bill was paid but that it was actually the physician who I still owed money too. So essentially it's 2 separate bills. The one that Amocol is reporting however is the hospital bill under " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' and that one is actually paid according to everyone 's standards. I'm just asking that this be removed from my credit. I have an EOB from XXXX stating that my portion in this matter is {$0.00}.

Hi ; There are 3 different unknown medical collection accounts on my credit report that i've tried for many months to resolved but unable to. Again, I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I visited XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Texas. The itemized medical bill was XXXX. The administrator asked how did I wish to pay. My response was via mastercard. The administrator asked it would be via insurance? I responded for a third time. It would be mastercard. The Administrator and nurse on duty presented me with an XXXX itemized bill statement. I asked on three other occasions if this was the bill in full and the Administrator responded yes. " This is the itemized cost per our charts. I then provided my mastercard to the Administrator and a charged of XXXX was bill to my card and I was presented with a receipt for my records. Within three weeks, I started receiving bills for additional charges. I have spoken with XXXX XXXX on several occasions, and provided them with a copy of the paid receipt. The response was, " I don't know why they charge that price because it is not enough. I contacted my legal team and they drafted a letter of inquiry which XXXX XXXX has refused to acknowledge on two occasions. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from a third party collection agency threatening to report the matter to the credit bureau as bad debt collection. I have attached substantiating documentation of full payment and all other pertinent documentation for your review and resolution before additional legal action is warranted.

To Whom it May Concern : After viewing a copy of my credit report, I noticed a collection account placed on my credit report from you this in 2020 account # XXXX and # XXXX. I am requesting that you allow me to validate the alleged debt. I am unaware of any outstanding medical bills that I possess, and I am seeking the name and hospital/medical provider to which I owe the debt and a detailed breakdown of the fees that I owe. If any fees are owed and documentation is provided that info should have also been forwarded to XXXX and XXXX. Additionally, I am allowed under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ( HIPAA ) to protect my privacy and medical records from third parties. I did not give permission to any of my current or prior medical providers to release any of my medical information to a third party. I am aware that the HIPAA does allows the release of limited information about me but anything more is to only be revealed with the patient 's authorization. Therefore, my request is twofold -- validation of debt and HIPAA authorization. Please provide breakdown of fees including any collection costs and medical charges. Provide a copy of my signature with the provider of service to release my medical information to you. Cease any credit bureau reporting until the debt has been validated by me.

Per the XXXX policy collection agencies are supposed to allow 180 days from the date of delinquency to pass before attempting to collect on a debt.The 180 days is to allow the insured and the insurance provider to ensure that the medical bill has been paid correctly and to sort out any issues of coding error, policy error, administrative errors, etc.The payments regarding this service were made in separate check increments. There were a few coding issues that resulted in re- billing on this claim. This claim was paid in full by XX/XX/16. Attempting to collect additional money on this claim is a violation of the FDCPA. Amcol keeps verifying that this is a valid debt with XXXX only in an attempt to collect on it. Please find attached a copy of the balance sheet provided to me by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that proves that the services were paid and the date that the claims were paid electronically to the providers.

Much to my surprise my over 800 credit score had dropped by 45 points in a matter of 9 days due to a derogatory account on my credit report. Immediately I contacted XXXX and XXXX to have the account removed. I have also contacted the company, Amcol, via phone without appropriate resolution. Now I have decided to send certified mail and requested receipt to the company demanding immediate action. Letter is as follows " I am contacting you in writing to address a collection placed on credit report in the last two weeks. I have not received a bill regarding this collection. Previously I had received bills for a visit for my daughter going to the ER and payments have been made. Please provide proof of the account and historical payment history to document account is 1. Delinquent 2. Length of Delinquency 3. Total balance owed. I would like to swiftly resolve this matter and requesting Amcol to remove the debt, derogatory condition, from my credit report immediately as it has negatively impacted my over 800 credit score. '' From my credit report the account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX and reported to credit agencies on XX/XX/XXXX. What are consumer rights to address collections? What about accounts making more than the minimum payment required?

AMCOL Systems Inc is reporting on all three of my credit bureaus as three different accounts with different amounts. The accounts that are showing are {$1300.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, {$1200.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, and {$210.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. All of these were for the same visit not on the dates being reported. The services were either for myself or my son. In addition, I had medical insurance through the state of Arizona and these claims should have been filed through medical insurance. I called this company XX/XX/XXXX and advised them that I had state health insurance at the time of the visit. Their response was " because the date of service is more than 1 year ago they are unable to file the claim with the insurance. '' I told them that I was not responsible for this debt and they need to file the claim with the state health insurance or they should have at the time of service. At the time of service, I presented my insurance card and they took a copy of it in addition to filling out the paperwork with all of my insurance information on it. They are refusing to remove these accounts and file a claim with the insurance. This company is not easy to work with and their representatives who answer the phone are rude. I have enclosed a copy of mine and my son 's medical health insurance card that I had at the time.

Hello - During the last few years we have had multiple medical bills that have went into collection after my husbands XXXX XXXX. We in good faith paid some to the collection agency so that it would not be reported. We paid {$290.00} in XX/XX/XXXX to prevent any reporting to my husbands credit report. They took the money and misrepresented how the money would be used to pay off the debt. They did not use the money to pay the oldest debt of {$130.00} from XX/XX/XXXX and that amount went into collection. They divided the money up between several accounts and only put {$5.00} towards the oldest balance of {$130.00} which left {$120.00} that ended up getting reported in XX/XX/XXXX. We received NO notification that it was reported. When we ask why the money we paid did not go to the oldest debt, they did not have an answer. I was however told that how that they distributed between multiple accounts and paid the the newest ones because they make more money off of newer " not stale '' debt. I am outraged and deeply bothered by this. On top of that we have paid the hospital directly and they NO ONE did any verification to confirm the amounts are valid and have not already been settled directly with the hospital. I have disputed verbally the validity of any debt owed to this company.

I originally went to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX Texas on XXXX2016 for a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. When I checked in, I asked about pricing and they said i needed to be evaluated first. After approximately an hour I was released and they said the Doctor would need to complete a report for billing and I would be notified of the costs. I later received a bill for @ {$8000.00}. I called the facility and they were unable to explain the basis of cost other than it was based on the level of care. After I called several more times the Manager said they would waiver the {$150.00} deductible since they were unable to provide pricing details. Later that year XXXX XXXX XXXX was bought by XXXX XXXX XXXX and I was sent a demand letter for the {$150.00}. I asked again for the pricing structure used to determine " Level of Care '' and it was never sent. They did send a statement detail with a lump sum entry for the " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' for {$6200.00}. This amount was charged for the ( 1 ) hour I was in the unit and the exam and XXXX are additional charges. The deductible was originally waived by XXXX XXXX and insufficient detail was provided by XXXX XXXX and AMCOL. Now, AMCOL XXXX has entered a collection amount of the {$150.00} by fraudulent means.

This is a medical bill that was 100 % covered by my insurance. It just showed up on my credit bureau, as the only negative account I have. I called the collection company. The company being, AMCOL SYSTEMS@XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, SC XXXX. This company was informed of my insurance company being responsible for this medical bill. I called them over and over about pursuing the bill thru my insurance company. When I saw this bill in collections thru XXXX XXXX, I called the insurance company again and was given some very upsetting information. The agent at my insurance company said that Amcol Systems REFUSED TO RECEIVE THE DOCUMENTATION PROVING THAT I WAS COVERED AT THE TIME OF THIS MEDICAL EMERGENCY!!! I am very overwhelmed with this since I care dearly about my credit and this one bill has brought my score down over 20 points. I am talking to an attorney now. This is so wrong!!! I have recently lost my husband, had a XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am in a wheel chair, unable to drive so I have tremendous challenges both physically and emotionally. I am going to get the documentation myself and fax and mail it directly to the collection company. If this isn't resolved soon I will pursue legal council and file suit against AMCOL SYSTEMS.

Children 's Hospital of XXXX ( XXXX ) sent a {$470.00} bill to collections with Amcol Systems that was paid in full through XXXX ( XXXX ). -The date of service for the original bill from XXXX was XX/XX/XXXX. -XXXX paid via Check on XX/XX/XXXX -I received monthly bills from XXXX. I called in to XXXX on some of those and was told to call back in 30 days if the payment still hadn't posted. -On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX sent a letter to XXXX on my behalf detailing that the claim in question had been paid on XX/XX/XXXX and my outstanding balance was {$0.00} ( There was another contact with XXXX sometime after the first conversation to check on the response from XXXX, but at that time they had been unable to get in contact with anybody at XXXX to explain that the debt was paid in full ) -On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from AMCOL systems attempting to collect this invalid debt. -I drafted a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX disputing the validity of the debt with AMCOL I am also submitting this dispute on XX/XX/XXXX with evidence of the actions taken above in hopes of resolution. I have since moved residences and changed insurance companies due to a job change and this has complicated efforts to resolve this illegitimate collection attempt.

In this notice it was stated that AMCOL Systems was a attempting to collect a debt ad AMCOL Systems is a debt collector. On XXXX, I disputed the notice as a informed consumer who knows his rights and the Federal Fair Collection Practices Act and Fair Credit Reporting Act related to consumer privacy and statues. I instructed AMCOL Systems to cease collection of the debt. On XXXX, I received another notice from AMCOL Systems stating that they were closing the account. On XXXX, I sent AMCOL Systems an Affidavit of Truth stating everything that occurred and the violations of my rights as a consumer. The total amount of monetary relief was also stated in this affidavit with a time frame to resolve this matter. The actions of Amcol Systems of violating my rights as a consumer is not a small matter. By them closing the case is an act of admittance constitutes a civil liability on part of AMCOL Systems and I am invoking my consumer right to specified remedy. Im demanding compensation for each violation of federal law by AMCOL Systems of {$8000.00}

I ran credit report today and my credit rating is dropped by over 100 points due to Amcol Systems report for alleged debt or {$970.00} has been sent to collections. The alleged debt was originated from " XXXX XXXX Emergency Room '', which is part of the University XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. I was treated for a severe XXXX XXXX, and paid for the emergency room before I left. Months later I received a billing which I took to that same facility and told them the amount was excessive. I did not have health insurance and was told the debt would be written off. At no time during my emergency room visit was I told about potential costs or additional costs that may be incurred while the doctor performed additional XXXX and such to protect from malpractice. The XXXX were not needed for treatment, and were only for malpractice protection and were not ordered by me. I moved from XXXX and Amcol Systems has NOT provided me with option to dispute this debt as required by law. Amcol Systems is attempting to collect a debt that is not owed, and has adversely affected my credit score which will cost me nearly 2.5 % higher interest rate which will be nearly {$400.00} per month higher interest cost on my home mortgage.

- XX/XX/2023 AMCOL System, INC. sent me a letter stating I owe XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$1400.00}. I called the day after to dispute my debt because after I checked the evidence of benefit from my insurance, the amount didn't match up. So, when I called they asked me to fax the evidence of benefit to prove the amount they presented was wrong. Additional to that, they informed me that I owed more money which I never received the bills from the hospital. Then I asked for an itemization of the bill. - XX/XX/2023 I faxed the evidence of benefit to AMCOL. - XX/XX/2023 I received another letter from AMCOL stating I had more debt. This time, it was {$720.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Again, I have never received any bill, so I ask for the itemization for the bill. I also reminded them about the itemization that I have been waiting for from the last I spoke with them. I feel some thing is not right here when they want me to pay for the bills that I have never been billed for. Its more like scam. Yet, it is the debt collector that Ive never wanted to mess up with. I hope someone can help me sort this out. The total amount they said I owed was {$2400.00} which again Ive never gotten the bills.

I paid a debt owed to XXXX XXXX Emergency Room in XXXX 2016 directly to the emergency room online. In XXXX 2016 I received notification from XXXX that a new, unpaid collection was added to my report from AmCol. I disputed and the collection was removed. In XX/XX/2016 I received a letter that previous attempts to collect the debt had been unsuccessful. Several days later on XXXX XXXX, XXXX alerts me that I have an unpaid collection from AmCol on my report. I dispute directly with XXXX. On XXXX XXXX XXXX alerts me that the collection for XXXX is updated as a paid collection, in addition they reported the debt to XXXX. I have never heard of AmCol except for these two instances. I paid my debt directly to the emergency room. Under no circumstance should this be on my report, not only that but if AmCol was legitimately the owner of the debt they should have been aware the debt was unpaid and they tried to claim that they had not been paid. This is deceptive and appears to be an attempt to collect more money. As a result my credit score has suffered negatively dropping XXXX on XXXX and XXXX on XXXX. This is not a result of my negligence. I held up my responsibility to pay the hospital directly.

My daughter is on my medical insurance, but she is an adult who is responsible for her own care. I have verified with my insurance company that having her on my insurance does not leave me financially liable for care she choses to receive as an adult. Furthermore, according to the debt collector my daughter provided the address of her mother, my ex-wife. So I have never received any notification or correspondence or requests to authorize treatment or pay a bill that I am aware of. I paid one bill for her for care received in XX/XX/XXXX and now they're expecting me to pay another for care in XX/XX/XXXX. They did not remove the old collection claim against me, though it is marked as paid. And they have kept the second claim against me in my name. I should not have a collection against me at all : again, I did not authorize treatment, I did not receive a bill, and the person who did receive treatment is my daughter, an adult who is financially responsible for herself. Furthermore, I've even tried to simply settle this on my daughters behalf, but the company says they can't remove a collection claim from my report. The collection company is AMCOL systems.

I was not in the hospital on XX/XX/XXXX and I had not received any prior letters from the hospital stating that I owed money. I also did not receive any letters from my insurance company stating they would not provide coverage. I wrote a letter to them explaining this and asked for verification of debt. In return I received another letter and a bill which was dated for XX/XX/XXXX. There was no mention of the incorrect date on the original letter. The bill also shows that the total amount was covered by insurance and that I did not owe any money. I called AMCOL to have the account closed and they refused so I asked for verification of debt again. I faxed them the bill showing them that it does not show I owe any money and still continued to call me to collect debt.I asked again for proof of debt and received nothing. I also wrote them another letter and copied the bill I was given asking them again to close the account or provide proof of debt. I still have not received anything and the account is still open and effecting my credit score.

after repeated attempts to contact collection company they finally called back. when I requested documentation showing this is a real and valid debt. they refused to provide it and said i had to chase it down. They are legally required to provide proof showing exactly what they are collecting for and when debts were incurred. I then told them to not call me back unless they can provide documented proof this is a real and valid debt and not some kind of scam. this XXXX XXXX then proceeded to tell me that she can call continue to call me everyday until i pay. she also told me she is going to report this on my credit report unless i pay within XXXX day. this is all without providing any proof i owe the debt. About XXXX weeks later i received another call from a XXXX who claims i never made the statement about only calling if they can provide the documents. she also tried getting me to pay without proof. i informed her that she can not contact me without proof and if they continue to harrass me i will contact a lawyer about these tactics. they were pushy and rude and i feel this is a scam to trick me out of my money.

Due to the fact that my situation is not properly available on this site as a choice to select above I have been violated by Amcol System Inc. Amcol System Inc. does n't have the rights to collect debt in the State of Texas ? They are not abiding by the Law accordingly to the State of Texas and they supposed to remove themselves from my credit report by sending a letter stating to the Credit Reporting Agencies that they need to be removed. So, I checked the Secretary of State Texas Debt Collections Division website and found out that Amcol System Inc is breaking : " Texas Finance Code section 392.101 which prohibits a third-party or credit bureau from engaging in debt collection in Texas unless the third party debt collector has obtained a surety bond and file a copy of the bond with the Office of the Secretary of State. Also, you can not operate in the state of Texas with a P.O. Box '' I am in need of another Investigation to remove them from my credit report, please. In fact, I need all account that they have in their office under my given social security number and first & last removed.

Have not received a balance statement or acknowledgement of my payments. Have continued to pay monthly without fail. Called to check on the balance and XXXX XXXX XXXX said they did n't have my account. Gave them the acct number the payments were designated for and posted on the check. They said they turned the acct over to a collection agency a year ago. I have no indication that they had done this nor have I received any written notice from the " supposed '' collection agency, Amcall. Neither office can tell me who has been receiving and cashing my checks for two years. Amcall has spotty payments and XXXX XXXX XXXX says they do n't have any because a year ago it went to Amcall.

On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I paid a debt of {$98.00} XXXX, ( with a XXXX ), for an outstanding balance due. It was finalized on XXXX XXXX. So last month when I was checking my credit report, I disputed this charge because it had been paid month 's ago. The dispute was acknowledged by the company at which time they posted it as an existing outstanding balance again and this time it was reported to XXXX as well as XXXX as such and has lowered my credit score because of this. I contacted XXXX personally today and they showed where this debt was paid on the dates listed above. I then called the billing department with XXXX as well and she acknowledged it had been paid as I had stated. She stated that she would be contacting AMCOL to have them remove this item. However, I am very upset that this has become an issue and feel as though I am being negatively impacted by the poor and unethical reporting processes conducted by this company. I want this fraudulent information removed from my credit report immediately and my credit for this matter repaired. I am hoping you can assist me with this.

The financial obligation levied against me was due to a emergency room visit to a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, for an elevated XXXX XXXX, whereby no adequate treatment was provided. The debt is currently being disputed with the original creditor, in addition to an open investigation XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX of Texas for possible violations, and an open Federal Trade Commission Consumer Complaint for unfair trade practices against XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have contacted AMCOL on two separate occasions, first on XX/XX/2019 and spoke to XXXX, and on XX/XX/2019, spoke to XXXX. On both occasions I was told the dispute was submitted and I would be informed of the results, and at no time I given any specific instructions regarding the dispute process into this matter - instead of being informed of the results or given any path to a resolution, they instead, placed the negative information on my credit file. I have been very proactive in trying to reach a resolution to this matter, only to be blindsided by the deception that has been projected by AMCOL in their collection practices.

And also when I contacted them on XX/XX/XXXX I gave them the new information about my insurance to refile and was told I would be contacted within 24 to 48 hours with a resolution. I had to contact them on XX/XX/XXXX to follow up on the progress and was told that they did n't have all the information they needed to file the insurance.

I also disputed the validity of the debt and requested debt verification under the FDCPA. No response was received. Yesterday, I received notification from my credit monitoring service that this account was formally " in collection '' on my credit report and three major FICO scores dropped 58, 50, and 40 points as a direct result.

I have been harassed by AMCOL for a debt that I do not owe. The hospital where I was admitted ( XXXX XXXX, 2015 ) incorrectly coded the visit which caused a rejection by the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I called XXXX and opened a case number. This was last year. I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX and they admitted they never sent me a bill or I would have known to dispute the claims. The Doctors at the hospital falsified their reports which has caused all of this in the first place. I never heard back from XXXX XXXX Hospital or XXXX since I contacted them over 6 months ago to try to resolve this issue. I engaged an attorney to get AMCOL to leave me alone, and they would not stop harassing me. I threatened to sue them, and that is when they put this against my credit without resolving it with the people who engaged them. I have a copy of the hospital report, and the original claimant 's name is not on it. Again, they never sent me a bill regarding any of this, they sent me to a Collection Agency to harm my hard-earned credit.

Mainly because I 'm tired of being contacted by different companies regarding the same medical bills when I ha2d insurance coverage.They have noverlapping accounts on my credit reports. For example XXXX XXXX ( orginal creditor ) sold my account to XXXX XXXX, so why are they both contacting me. And AMCOL SYSTEMS INC is continuing to attempt collections on dates of service that matches PROFESSIONAL XXXX along with identical monetary claims. I 've been told by AMCOL SYSTEMS INC If not paid asap that I would go to jail. They are claiming ammounts of upwards of {$8400.00} for an XXXX visit. They 're are collection 's for services rendered when I was not within XXXX miles of the area. I 've had my state tax returns garnished, then there it is listed on an open account. It 's outrageous that the burden of the proof be on me when companies like these are ruining my credit by using illegal tactics such as fraud, then violating my rights as an American citizen.

I visited the ER at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I paid the {$250.00} co-pay at that time and I have the receipt. I received a billing notice for {$250.00} from XXXX XXXX and called them on XX/XX/XXXX and explained to XXXX/patient service rep that my {$250.00} co pay was paid at the time of my ER visit. She said she would correct their records.

I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX from AMCOL Systems ; a collection agency stating I owed XXXX XXXX {$250.00}. I immediately sent them a copy of my receipt with proof the {$250.00} co pay was paid through my health savings account.

I received another letter from AMCOL Systems dated XX/XX/XXXX stating I still owed this amount, along with an itemized bill from XXXX XXXX.

I called AMCOL Systems on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to XXXX. I explained my situation to her and she kept telling me that they are trying to collect a debt. I kept telling her there is no debt as I paid my copay at the time of my ER visit.

This collection is now on my credit report.

Last year the hospital had me make payments to XXXX different locations and I did til they were paid off but it was a kinda flimflam because I never knew what the bills were for or if valid. Today I get a letter from one of those agencies AMCOL but never got a bill and I was caught up. I strongly suspect fraud. Trying to call these people is useless and impossible to resolve anything. If they have XXXX non collection account that I can make payments we should all be happy but these people won't do it. I am willing and able to make payments, all the extreme difficulty comes from these related companies. When I saw this letter I've had it with their scams and need help. Should I contact the AIG?

I was seen at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX (XXXX, OK) in the emergency room XX/XX/XXXX. When I was seen there I gave them my VA medical card. The hospital never sent me a bill or reached out to me for payment. A company ran my credit and told me I had something in collections in XX/XX/XXXX. That was the only way I knew something was negative on my credit. I was never contacted by XXXX XXXX or AMCOL, the collection agency that XXXX XXXX sent my bill to. I have since contacted XXXX XXXX and they apologized and told me a mistake was made, they had me as a "no insurance" patient and sent it my bills to an address I had in XX/XX/XXXX! The amount with AMCOL Systems Inc- $XXXX. I'm a Veteran and have been dealing with he VA billing department and XXXX XXXX billing department. I was told this was taken care of. It should not be on my credit report. I have spoken with AMCOL in XX/XX/XXXX and made 1 payment ($300). But I was told by the VA not to pay on it any longer. It's been taken care of.

I was attempting to get a loan for a new house, when the lender informed me that my credit had dropped from XXXX to below XXXX and that I may not qualify for the loan. finding that Amcol systems collection agency had been sending a medical bill invoice to the wrong address for many months and attempted to call a 12 year old d isconnected numb er. I have no problem paying the bill and it has been taken care of. However may complaint is that I requested for AMCOL to remove it from my credit report as it was their fault in destroying my credit. " two of their employees told me that do n't do that and I could go pound sand '' This company is rude, and has no respect for someone with great credit, that was destroyed by their company and their lack of professional work ethics. the loan company is reviewing my credit information now and I may be denied a loan for a home of my dreams due to this company refusing to remove a bad debit that was created by a w rong address.

On Saturday XX/XX/2021 we were notified that our account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was closed. After inquiring with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, we were notified that, although we were set up on a payment plan and making monthly automatic payments as agreed up until XX/XX/2021, the account had been turned over to collections. On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted the business by phone and was told that the account had accidentally been placed with collections and that their system sometimes does not recognize payment plans if they are set up online. I was also told that the error had been corrected and I would receive a call to re-set up the payment plan and that I would not need to do anything further. We never received a phone call. On XX/XX/2021 we received a letter from a collections agency, AMCOL Systems, letting us know that the account has been turned over to them and we have 30 days to dispute the validity of the debt in writing or judgment will be taken.

On or about Monday XX/XX/2020 I received mail that just had a P.O. Box number from XXXX, SC XXXX addressed to me and upon opening it I saw 4 sheets of paper the first one Had XXXX XXXX XXXX ( which is a hospital in Indiana that I have been corresponding with ) it said RE : patient XXXX XXXX Account number ( it had 2 ) date of service and balance. It asked for 7 different proofs of financial information and had XXXX XXXX address at the bottom. One had my address and the others were asking for personal info. There was not a letter explaining it came from a collection agency but I found it strange that XXXX XXXX hadnt inserted a letter explaining it was from them so I looked the address and discovered it came from Amcol debt collection. I knew the name because they are reporting on my credit reports. This was as dishonest as it gets. Im not sure if XXXX XXXX allows this but if they do thats not right but honestly I dont think the knew because they already have my info.

I recently discovered today which is XX/XX/XXXX that I have a credit collections bill from a medical bill that was issued in XX/XX/XXXX with a balance of XXXX dollars.I discovered this by checking on my XXXX XXXX. I called the credit collections ( amcol XXXX sc ) and spoke to customer service said they have called which they have n't. I never received a bill in the mail by collections or XXXX XXXX in regards of having a overdue bill. I called the XXXX XXXX in XXXX north Carolina billing department to see the details of bill, the lady on the phone could not give me any information because the bill was 3 years ago. So I decided to call the head of billing and they said they would mail me the billing information that would come in a day or two.but I am certain that I have already paid the ramander of the bill since I did not have insurance at the time. I want to make sure everything is right before I have to pay for something I already taken care of years ago.

Contacted on XXXX to make payment on an account. Accepted payment of $ XXXX and I provided them banking information and they accepted the payment. They called back 10-15 minutes later and said they could not accept that amount anymore and I needed to pay {$17000.00}. Debt collector had told me that by paying the $ XXXX it would be removed from my credit. When I called back and spoke to manager she stated they can't accept the $ XXXX anymore and they would not remove it from my credit. I have 3 letters from them stating to pay the {$12000.00}. Transaction ID XXXX. I asked to speak to someone else higher up and she refused. They are extorting clients and making false promises. They created a contract by accepting the {$12000.00} and stating it would take care of it and be removed from credit then once I paid the story changed. This company should not be in business. Unfair, unethical, and illegal practices to extort money out of patients.

XXXX, received a call from Amcol Systems ( caller ID ) asking for my wife to discuss a business manner. I said she was at work and I was her husband. She started to fish for info ( after identifying herself as a collection agency rep ). I said wife was at work and XXXX gave me a number to call ( XXXX ). After speaking with my wife, I called the number back and asked for XXXX. She said call was being recorded. When asked for written verification of the debt, Amcol Systems rep. XXXX said their protocol did not provide for written verification of debt. I reminded XXXX that this was part of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Instead, she gave me a list of amounts ranging from {$10.00} - {$200.00} and dates filed by XXXX XXXX. No other info was available except for XXXX phone number to call. She could not identify what the debts were for, just date and amount. WE were to call XXXX XXXX if we needed any more info. Thank You, XXXX

Regarding : AMCOL SYSTEMS is contacting me at inconvenient times and places. They are contacting me before XXXX XXXX., and after XXXX XXXX. I never agreed to it. These repetitious phone calls have annoyed my family and myself. AMCOL SYSYEMS has also used obscene and profane language and threats regarding this debt that is not mine. They are also blocking their number and calling me without telling me who they are. In addition, they have also stated that they are an attorney, making threats to arrest me, garnish my wages, bank accounts, and sue me. AMCOL SYSTEMS has also contacted family members and co-workers of mine more than once trying to collect this fraudulent debt. AMCOL SYSYEMS has discussed this account and my personal information regarding this debt, harassing others trying to get me to pay this debt. AMCOL SYSTEMS fails to respond to my verification letter by certified mail as well as my cease and desist letters.

For the past 6 months i have gone back and forth with a company that placed a collection account on my credit. I tried to call them only to be hung up on when i requested a manager. Then when i sent them a letter in the mail by way of return receipt, which they received it appears they want to now retaliate and have added another collection account on my credit. I sent them another certified letter on XXXX XXXX and i still have not heard back from them. I have now contacted the Federal Trade Commission and the Attorney General Office. I will not be bullied into taking ownership of something that was not originated by me and i was never sought out first about the debt they just placed it on my credit which is a violation. I plan to exercise my rights pursuant to the FCRA in Federal Court in the accounts are not removed by XXXX XXXX . I found an Attorney that has already sued them before in the past and won.

The letter an affidavit was sent requesting proof of contract or applications obligating me to this debt this company claims I owe since I never recall establishing an account with the creditor in question. AMCOL Systems also has failed to provide and Health and Portability Act release form or ( HIPPA ) pertaining to this matter AMCOL Systems has only provided a copy of bill dated with my name on it as means of validation. This is not considered proper validation under the court of law. No chain of command, application, or contract, containing my signature has been provided on behalf of AMCOL Systems. AMCOL Systems is in violation of the fair debt collection practice by continuing to report this account to the consumer reporting agencies as well as attempting to collect on a debt without proper validation.

My daughter was taken to Texas XXXX due to a XXXX that she obtained during a basketball game in XX/XX/XXXX. As her parent, I was asked if I wanted a XXXX to be conducted. I advised that I did Not if the cost would not be covered by my insurance. My daughter was then taken from the room with no communication to me that a XXXX was being performed. I later received a bill from Texas XXXX for {$1500.00} in which I called to dispute and was informed to submit a dispute online. I later called to follow up on the dispute and spoke with an billing agent whom communicated I did n't have to take any action while the matter was being researched. I never received results of the escalation or additional billing. I however, did receive notification from a Collections Company dated XX/XX/XXXX. My concern is erroneously damaging my credit report and pursuing collections on a charge that I disputed and should not be liable for.

I was separated from my husband and didnt receive a bill for one of our sons ER visits. We are both responsible for his hospital bills but it ended up on my credit report. Ive tried to dispute it with the credit agency and collection agency. I paid the collection as soon as I found out about by pulling my credit report. Which was by also getting money from my ex as he is just as responsible. Its only because my son is on my insurance that it was under my name. This is the only thing on my credit report EVER. Before this my score was in the 800s. Now its in the 600s and causing issue when I try to buy a home. I just dont think its fair that this is impacting me when if I knew, I wouldve paid immediately. XXXX has already removed it from my report. Im asking for help in removing from XXXX and XXXX as well. XXXX XXXX {$630.00}, reported XX/XX/15 XXXX XXXX {$960.00}, reported XX/XX/15

Due to inaction on the part of my Dr. 's office to set up a payment plan as we agreed to, the last part of my bill was sent to collections. I received the letter Saturday, XX/XX/XXXX, and began attempting to contact them today XX/XX/XXXX. I have made at least 6 calls and each time after sitting on hold for 13 minutes, it hangs up on me. Once or twice it acted like someone had picked up, but then no one was there. Their client portal site caused my XXXX browser to display a safety warning and advised me to not enter any personal data as the site is not secure. Clicking the pages to open the portal does nothing as well. There are other reports on their XXXX reviews saying the same thing about being on hold and then hung up on. I believe this is intentionally done to make it difficult for debtors to pay off their debt. It seems predatory and should be illegal.

A third party collection agency had a debt listed on my credit report. I research, the alleged debt, it was from XXXX XXXX and for the amount of {$57.00}. I am a responsible adult, i pay my bills on time, and would have paid a medical bill for {$57.00} if i had received notice or invoice for it. I don't recall receiving either, or have i been told what the debit is for. I have no financial agreement with this company, no contractual agreement, nor do i understand how they have the right to have this item listed as a collections account on my credit report, which has now caused me to be denied credit. I've reached out to this company several times through via mail, USPS, and I've called their contact number listed on the website.

I paid my account from XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX after being sent to a collection agency without my knowledge. I paid the full amount we agreed on and that document was sent to me in XXXX showing the account was PAID IN FULL by Amcol Systems. Now they have sent this fully paid account to another collection agency with a different amount and name without the original account number. The original location was closed a few months later and no account number shows from my only visit in XXXX. This is illegal and I told the Rep that it has been paid and he still tried to collect money. I am not paying for what was settled. Please stop XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX from harassing me for an account paid in full.

Amcol called to say i owed a debt to XXXX XXXX for my daughter. I stated i never received anything saying i owe the debt and i was disputing it. I was told they are notifying me now. They continued to argue me down about the debt even after i said i do not owe a debt. Insurance and the clinic realized the inaccurate information and i was suppose to receive a final bill. I never did and assumed since i pay all co pays at time of service the inaccuracy was resolved. Amcol called at 8 am christmas eve. I spoke to XXXX and then a supervisor XXXX who refused to assist because i wouldn't give my personal info out again. They claim i owe XXXX dollars and some change. Stated I'm unable to dispute the debt.

The doctors was informed of our new furture address to send the final bills to but continued to use our old address resulting in the two bills getting lost with USPS and therefore we never received the bills. It wasn't until our mortgage lender pulled our credit that we learned of these two descrepencies on our credit reports. We immediately paid the two payoffs and they said that they would remove these negative remarks/collections from our credit. To date they are still on our credit. Please remove from our credit.

Agreement that bears signature of the alleged debtor wherein he promises to pay creditor. 3. Complete payment history on this account so as to prove that the debt amount you wish to collect is correct. The company failed to respond to my debt validation request, therefore essentially admitting that the debt in question is inaccurate. Per Texas Finance Code 392.202 ( b ) ( 2 ) this requirement states that the trade line must be deleted from my credit file

Amcol is collecting on a debt for a hospital but is claiming {$4100.00} is owed but the bill from the hospital is for {$2000.00}. It is over a {$2000.00} difference and even with the bill showing the balance, Amcol is still trying to collect the wrong amount. Debtor tried to pay the hospital but it can't accept payment and Amcol refuses to return calls, or investigate the matter. Debtor hired an attorney to resolve the issue, but Amcol refuses to reduce the bill to the correct amount, return phone calls or respond to any correspondence. This is illegal, they can't do this and they are reporting the account on the credit report in error.

A simple look at the XXXX reviews for XXXX in XXXX SC is a fair indication of false reporting to credit bureaus. Each interaction a representative states a different date for the last payment made.

They also can not properly indicate to me the original amount the debt was for. Their phone number is ( XXXX ) XXXX. I have attempted and successfully gotten this debt by requesting from the bureaus, they simply report it again months later.

I am very upset and need this fixed immediately. There is fraudulent activity going on and also false very negative affective reports

I owe a hospital bill of some sort from the past and the company keeps threatening me that it will go on my credit report if I do n't pay them their money on time or if I do n't use auto debit from my account they keep daring me to miss XXXX payment. They call days before I even have the money to try to get it early from me. Although I 'm going through hardships at this time. They still call and call and harass me. Sometimes I feel like they are going to kick my door in. I also lose sleep due to the harassment and i stress a lot because of them.

AMCOL Systems ( a debt collector ) reported a debt on my credit reports without notifying me of any debt owed. And previouslyy agreed already to remove it and have not. I have been fighting for many years regarding 2 amounts not owed by me that continue to be bought and sold by creditors and then reported on my credit without my knowledge. Disputes get acknowledged and the reporting removed only for the next creditor to repeat the same actions of that it acquired the fraudulent debt from. Please see that it is removed from all credit reports.

A collection report was posted to my credit report after paying the debt in full to the original creditor. There a 3 from the same original creditor that were set up on a payment plan. The debt was payed in full in XXXX/17. The new creditor is trying to collect on this same debt 3 months after it was paid in full to the original. I will include the Bank documents to prove it. It infuriates me that they are reporting falsely and that I have to spend time fixing. I 'm pretty sure it 's illegal to try and collect a second time on a debt.

I received no phone call or letter with the itemized bill, which of course they should n't have been XXXX seems my insurance paid for it. They have no number for debt collection or disputes of billing. I refuse to pay it considering I have no written letter or email or agreement to pay any bill. My insurance would have covered it.

Entered into an agreement to pay amount owed with AMCOL systems for two accounts. One was with XXXX XXXX XXXX for XXXX and the other with XXXX XXXX XXXX for XXXX. They automatically withdrew funds from my bank account on XXXX, XXXX and XXXX for XXXX each time. They did not withdraw the last XXXX from my account and then they reported it to the credit bureau agencies as me being delinquent. I feel that is very unfair as I was making payments, as arranged and they failed to withdraw the funds. This is not my fault.
