I was never contacted and properly notified by this collection agency for some old medical bills they were attempting to collect. My first notification came in the form of checking my credit report and noticing the collection accounts noted on my report. I immediately contacted them to make some sort of arrangement. I informed them that I wanted a pay for delete or else I could use HIPPA rights and force the original creditor to take the account back, paying the original creditor directly and avoiding the items being reported. The collection agency then, sensing they would loose out on approximately {$800.00} promised to remove the derogatory remarks, since I was never properly notified, if I paid them directly. I paid them directly, and they removed XXXX of the accounts but XXXX remained. I have been contacting them and calling them to no avail. I feel completely defrauded and my rights were violated. Their only interest was collecting the money. They have destroyed my credit and have caused me to loose out on credit being extended to me. I want them to fulfill the promise made to me as I followed thru on my promise and paid them in full. The agency in question is called MID Michigan Collection Agency in XXXX XXXX Michigan ( email XXXXXXXXXXXX ). Their phone number is XXXX. Please help! I feel so victimized. I have sent letters to the Michigan State Attorney General as well as the FTC. I also understand that they broke the law by even promising a pay for delete so now it makes sense to me why they are bailing out and refusing to go further with my accounts. So many laws were broken here.

This is my second complaint against this collection company. The response from the first complaint was totally false and inaccurate. To follow proper procedures, I sent a certified letter to them requesting validation of what is reporting on my account. Mid-Michigan Credit Bureau failed to retrieve and receive the mail. Tracking information is provided in the attached. This in a direct violation to : FDCPA section 809 ( a ) VALIDATION OF DEBTS, states : A debt collector shall send the consumer a written " Notice of Debt '' letter containing -- ( 1 ) the amount of the debt ; ( 2 ) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed ; ( 3 ) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector ; ( 4 ) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector ; and ( 5 ) a statement that, upon the consumer 's written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor. This account should be removed immediately or legal action has to be taken.

I have been contacted by this company Mid- Michigan numerous times trying to collect a debt that is not mine. I have explained to this company over and over again this is not my debt. I filled bankruptcy on XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/2014 and it has been discharged and I never visited this doctor every again because the doctor was no longer practicing there. This is fraud and unacceptable. I have also written to this company asking for deletion on my credit report and for validation but company will not respond. This is keeping me from being able to get a home of my own because of this reporting. I have attached my letter sent to this company with no response back. I am recovering from a XXXX and can not be under any XXXX and this is causing much XXXX in my life

XXXX Credit bureau has been reporting 14 collection accounts to all the credit bureau after several debt validation disputes. The disputes were performed by three credit repairs services and myself. I have never received any information regarding this debt ; the only response is this company wrote in the remarks " Consumer disputes this account information '' but I have never received any correspondence or proof from this company. There are two entries for XX/XX/XXXX and twelve entries XX/XX/XXXX. I have no idea what these charges are and the volume of these entries on my credit reports are concerning.

This is aregarding the nasty, patronizing and unnecessarily personal voicemail left on my phone from an employee of yours -- XXXX XXXX. This voicemail advised in a condescending tone that it was " time for me to accept responsibity '' for the debt owed. And that she was going to file for garnishment. And this was AFTER I had informed XXXX XXXX that I was at work and unable to have a conversation about this business matter. Ignoring my plea, she called back four times, then left said voicemail. I would hope that this kind of behavior is not representative of this company.

This company has marked that my account went to collections. However I paid the medical office directly, therefore the collection agency has no right to collect nor do they have a right to place a negative mark on my credit. Additionally, they have violated my rights under HIPPA by accessing my medical information to determine when I saw the physician in question and what was done for my care.
