I am a senior citizen and believe Armstrong & Associates is inappropriately attempting to defraud me out of money for a medical bill/debt I do not owe because the medical bill/debt was paid by Medicaid/Medicare. In addition, Armstrong & Associates is inaccurately and illegally reporting a medical bill/debt on my XXXX, XXXX and XXXX credit XXXX. Again, this medical bill/debt was paid by Medicaid/ Medicare . The amount of the medical bill/debt being reported by Armstrong & Associates is in the amount of {$2400.00} in XX/XX/2020 This company Armstrong & Associates is located in XXXX Alabama and claim this medical bill/debt is for XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Hospital located in XXXX XXXX, Louisiana XXXX
I have mailed Armstrong & Associates several certified letters seeking legal validation per the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act of this medical debt that their company is reporting on my credit reports and Armstrong & Associates has not provided and/or answered any of my questions regarding this medical debt they continue to inaccurately report on my credit report. Moreover, I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX Hospital, the hospital where I received medical care and was advised by XXXX XXXX XXXX Hospital billing department that per their records the medical bill was paid by Medicaid/Medicare and I do not owe them ( XXXX XXXX XXXX Hospital ) any money for the aforementioned medical bill/debt.
In addition, I provided XXXX XXXX XXXX Hospital the account number and date of service and other account information Armstrong & Associates is reporting on my credit reports, XXXX XXXX Hospital stated that no such account exist in their records. Moreover, the date of service and numerous other errors are being reported by Armstrong & Associates on my credit reports. I have no idea of who this company is and the company will not respond to any of my letters/request seeking information and debt validation.

I received a letter from Armstrong and Associates, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX AL, XXXX, ( XXXX ) XXXX on XX/XX/2023, stating that I owed {$40.00} in debt owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I spoke with the XXXX department XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX at XXXX XXXX Central Time on XX/XX/2023, and they had no record of any outstanding balance or debt being submitted from any account associated with me or my immediate family. I called Armstrong and Associates on XX/XX/2023 at approximately XXXX XXXX XXXX and spoke with XXXX XXXX to dispute the claim. She stated that she would verify with XXXX XXXX XXXX and get back to me. I requested she share the name of a contact at XXXX XXXX XXXX who could verify their claim if the debt was not dismissed.
I received a second letter attempting to collect on XX/XX/2023 that claimed to enclose verification of the account and asked that I call a different number than before ( XXXX ) XXXX. However, nothing that was included could be verified with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I called the number requested and they insisted that XXXX XXXX XXXX submitted the debt to them, and they have re-verified it despite the fact that no one at XXXX XXXX XXXX will back their claim when I call. They demanded that I keep calling XXXX XXXX XXXX and re-dispute the claim with Armstrong and Associates. When I tried to get to the disputes department. They put me on hold for an extended period of time, then when someone finally picked up, she identified herself as XXXX, and told me she couldn't help me.
I believe that Armstrong and Associates is deliberately and fraudulently making this process unduly difficult in order to create enough burden that I will pay a debt that the original provider says I do not owe to them.

Received a telephone call from XXXX with Armstrong & Associates on my cell phone. XXXX demanded and kept demanding immediate full payment for an outstanding {$3300.00} debt. At first she didnt want to tell me anything about the alleged debt or her companys address. Then XXXX claimed that the bill was for inpatient hospitalization at University of XXXX XXXX XXXX in 2019. I was never admitted to any hospital in 2019. I have not received a bill from XXXX for {$3300.00} for having been admitted as an inpatient in 2019. I have several doctors at XXXX that I see regularly, surely someone at XXXX would have brought such a large outstanding balance to my attention prior to this call. Or, surely it would have showed up on my credit report. I have had Mississippi XXXX with XXXX dollar copayments for approximately 5 years. Unless its an emergency, I absolutely do not 1 ) see a doctor, 2 ) have medical test or procedures, 3 ) be admitted to a hospital, nor 4 ) fill a prescription unless Mississippi XXXX approves it first.

A notice of debt collets was sent to me in late XX/XX/2021 claim there is an attempt to collect a debt. About 1 week laterI received a call and I advised the company to only communicate with the debtor via mail. I sent in a letter for debt validation immediately requesting for what proof this company has that confirms I owe a debt. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a response with detailed medical information that I did not sign a Hipaa release form giving this 3rd party access to such records. The information provided to me is a violation of my hipaa rights.
