XX/XX//19 Tice Associates contacts me about {$270.00} that I supposedly owe a medical provider. I had not received any notices or bills from any medical provider prior to this letter from this collection agency. XX/XX//19 I sent a letter ( certified, return receipt - received XX/XX/19 ) to Tice Associates telling them I never received notice of this debt, and asking, under FDCPA, for verification of this debt. I asked for : 1. a detailed account of what the money was supposed to be owed for 2. a detailed explanation of how the amount was calculated 3. copies of documents showing I agreed to pay this amount 4. identify the original creditor and provide current contact info 5. proof the statute of limitation has not ran out on this matter 6. documentation showing they have a legal right to collect this debt 7. documentation showing they are licensed to collect in New York, and 8. provide me with the contact info for their registered agent for service of process XX/XX//19 XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) or something similar signed for my letter. XX/XX//19 Tice Associates mailed me a letter saying I failed to respond to their notice, and that they, quote, " We extend this opportunity to settle this debt in a friendly manner. '' What does that mean? I interpret this as a direct threat. XX/XX//19 Tice Associates mailed me a patient ledger printout from the supposed medical service provide. That's it. Nothing else. They did not provide the information requested to # 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, or 8. The information pertaining to numbers 4 and 5 were provided by default on the printout. They failed to provide me the information I am legally entitled to. Also, the ledger they provided me was incomplete and inaccurate. It did not detail what the charges were for or who supposedly performed the services. It listed my father as another 'Guarantor '. My father is not a guarantor. He has nothing to do whatsoever with my health insurance, nor am I a minor. It seems that both the original 'creditor ' and Tice Associates do not know what they're doing. I waited for Tice Associates to provide the other required information under separate cover, and the next correspondence I received from them was ... XX/XX//19 Simply another Tice Associate letter stating, " We are offering you an opportunity to settle this matter voluntarily. '' Still not providing the information that I requested and am legally entitled to receive, on XX/XX//19 Tice Associates reported the debt as in collections to ( at least ) XXXX XXXX. This company is not complying to consumer protection laws like the FDCPA and FCRA. Because of my dispute and their inability or unwillingness to verify the debt and their status of collecting it, and their reporting this debt to a credit reporting agency, this company should immediately remove this debt from my credit report, and be shut down. I am attaching my letter to Tice Associates so you can clearly see they deliberately chose not to comply with consumer protection laws. I'm also attaching the 'patient ledger ' which is neither descriptive nor accurate.

I received a bill today from Tice Associates stating that I owed a doctor {$77.00} and have failed to respond to previous notices. I have not received any other previous notices, nor recall having been billed for this amount from this doctor. When I placed an immediate call to the number listed on the letter, the gentleman told me that he has sent multiple notices for this amount and when asked, I was told the date of service was from XX/XX/2016. I do not like to just pay something I have no recollection of owing without having proof of this. Nothing else was sent with this letter, and as I said, I have not received anything regarding this supposed bill in over a year, and do not recall ever even getting the original bill as I pay my debts and am very careful when it comes to my credit score. When I tried to get information on this and said I needed to do some research into this, the creditor stated that I was refusing to pay my debt. On the phone call with this agency, I stated that I had received a bill as I thought this was referring to a doctor 's appt from earlier this year but from my records I was thinking of a different doctor who also works in the same office that I paid a bill for.

I paid a bad debt with Tice Associates in full on XX/XX/2019. As of today, XX/XX/2019 the debt is still showing as unpaid on both my XXXX credit report and my XXXX credit report. I know the creditor has 45 days to report the payment to the credit bureaus. This is well beyond the 45 day deadline. The last time they reported anything regarding this debt was XX/XX/2019, one day before I made the payment and nothing since it was paid in full. I have followed up with the company twice, once in XXXX and again today. Today I was told " you're clueless and obviously have no idea what you are talking about ''. I was dealing directly with XXXX XXXX. Not only should this debt be paid in full it should also be deleted from my reports as that was the agreement I made with Tice Assocites ( XXXX XXXX ) on XX/XX/2019.

XXXX I sent the collector a letter asking to simply validate the debt because seeing this mark on my credit report was quite surprising especially since I have received no prior letters or notifications of such. They sent me a mediocre letter listing a bunch of random charges that told me absolutely nothing about the debt. I didnt even recognize the physician they claimed performed the so called services and transactions. XXXX I asked them to send me anything I signed at the time of the services or anything at all bearing my signature which they ignored. XXXX asked for proof that they owned the debt, with no reply. Making matters worse, I have been going back and forth disputing for 5 months with them and the bureaus to find out they didnt even notate the item as disputed.

I have contacted TICE and associates several times requesting proof of this claim, including dates and services received to make sure this is even my debt. In addition, I had insurance at the time if this is my debt with XXXX and this should have covered if my debt. I have talked to a gentleman claiming to be owner at TICE, and explained this and they refused to submit to insurance. Since, I have disputed this debt several times since they have failed to provide a detailed summary of charges - dates - dr etc. I believe my rights under the FCRA are being violated. Plus I never received a validation notice on this.
