Want to SCREAM!

Do you remember me talking about the collection agency that has been calling us? Well things came to a head today with them. The guy I talked to today was a complete JERK and refused to send me documentation of the so called outstanding bill we owe. A bit shady if you ask me. I had told him on the phone that we have start consulting with a lawyer to which he says, "Fine then by the end of this week you will have a credit mark on your credit report." The JERK tried to intimidate me. Last Friday I had gotten a called from the collection agency and after I got off the phone called the hospital who said they don't show any delinquency on my account but to call the Radiologist department to which they gave me the number. I call them and same thing. No outstanding balance on either account. Making everything seem even more shady. I have to give great props to my hubby for standing up for me today. I called him after I got off the phone with said JERK and he immediately called them and talked to his supervisor and then wrote a letter to her about the whole situation. Oh yeah, and his callings with different people today he was told that the Radiologist department had called the agency and resolved my account. Hmmm? Interesting. Now we are armed with tons more information so we'll see where this leads.

That's crazy!!! I hate that, and I'd want to scream too. So sorry this is happening, but what a great hubby!

The Land of Pink isn't going anywhere, just re-shaping it a bit.

I'm sure collections agents are people, too...not so sure they are HUMAN people!! :p Sorry you have had to endure this.

That would seriously make me nuts! Yay for hubby stepping in! :)

A collection agency...shady? No way. They're scum. Most likely they don't have the ability to mar your credit and if they do...so what? Call the credit agencies and tell them to take it off. If they can't prove that you owe the money, which you don't...it has to come off. Don't get stressed over this.

They are bullies and they will say anything to intimidate. They have to prove what you owe or they don't have a case. I love messing with those people....call me if you need backup. ;)

I think his name was Jimmy, not JERK

It is so frustrating to deal with those types of situations. Good for you for standing your ground. I pray it gets resolve quickly for you.

Yeah... that sounds a bit shady to me as well, with the no documentation part and the intimidation. Looks like you've got a lot of facts on your side though and this will pan out for the good. :) Hang in there!

Aah. I want to scream to, but I don't have nearly as good a reason as you. I don't like dealing with that stuff, I feel so much better when those things are all resolved. I just want to scream because little people have been getting up way too early and screaming at me. =) Your reason is way better.
