I received A letter on XX/XX/XXXXdated XX/XX/XXXXfrom XXXX XXXX at a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, a Subsidiary of Global Financial Services Group , Inc. the letter was addressed to my birth name, which I had legally changed in 2018. The letter claimed that XXXX was a collection agency for my creditors identified below. I had failed to pay {$970.00}, which had resulted in my account being sent to collections. The credit tours were health care providers located within the network of providers in my local Hospital System, which I did regularly see between XXXX. However, I was on a long-term payment plan set up with this Hospital Systems billing department. I called the billing to be sure everything was okay. The representative from my Hospital Systems billing department, where the overdue amounts listed were taken from, said that my account was up-to-date, I had not been sent to collections, and they did not know of any company called XXXX. Moreover, they did not know where this {$970.00} amount came from. I made sure to ask that I didn't owe such-and-such amounts listed. It was confirmed, the letter wasn't real. As I looked at the amounts and dates provided by XXXX I realized some of the procedures were over a year old and had already been paid for, and certain ones had to be paid for up front like with XXXX or XXXX XXXX. I did a little research on the company and realized this wasnt the first time theyd tried to collect on a nonexistent or already paid medical debt. I was phoned by a XXXX representative on XX/XX/2018 at XXXX XXXX asking for my former name. I replied that she was speaking with the person of my legal name but refused to give any personal information once she revealed she was with XXXX. When I told the representative Id contacted my healthcare providers that theyd listed in the letter -- who had no idea what this company was or where this debt came from -- she kept insisting she could give me more information if I confirmed my identity. I told her XXXX would be getting a legal letter explaining how they could prove, without question, I owed a debt to them. The burden of proof wasn't with me. I didn't have to prove who I was since I'd confirmed her company wasn't affiliated with my health care 's billing system. Once I mentioned legality and government reporting, she said : Okay, Miss, Ive updated your account, goodbye. And hung up. Im sending them a certified letterbased on a template borrowed from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureauand shall be reporting them not only to the FTC, but my Attorney Generals office, as they are located within my state. Here is the companys local address and website : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Dispute Resolution Department XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, SC XXXX https : //www.globalfinancialservice.net/XXXX

On XX/XX/2020 I found out from the SCDOR that about {$500.00} was seized from my taxes for medical debt. I did not receive any notification written or verbal that my medical debt was sold to this company. The employee over the phone told me that they had my address wrong, and that my phone blocks Robo Calls ( which is a service I very recently activated ). I was never made aware of this company, or that any money was owed to them and it should not have been taken from my tax return with any knowledge. Ive been making multiple monthly payments on my medical bills, and did not have any notification of a portion going to this company.

I was contacted about a debt I owed for visitation after insurance paid. I called XXXX XXXX, asked if the amount was still in-house or in collections ( I moved and missed the bills ), and paid the amount. Now I am receiving letters and phone calls from DataTrac collection company.
