Complaint #1468606 submitted on 07/15/2015 relating to J&L Collection Services. Complaint relates to Debt collection Medical - Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed Debt was paid.

Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Wednesday 15th July 2015.

Narrative (may be redacted).

On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I contacted J & L Teamworks regarding my credit report. I spoke with XXXX. I told her I had XXXX accounts on my credit report from them with a XXXX balance appearing on XXXX but balances owed on XXXX and XXXX. She said she would give it to her supervisor for resolution yet here we are XX/XX/XXXX with no resolution. On this call she also said I had an open balance with them for {$130.00} from our local hospital XXXX XXXX. I immediately looked at my bank account and I had paid XXXX and possessed the cancelled check. In addition, I phoned XXXX 's accounts receivable department and they confirmed there was not outstanding balance. Again, she said she would tell the supervisor and get back to me. I have now received another collection letter from J & L Teamworks for the same {$130.00}. I just phone dJ & L and spoke with a XXXX. He said the {$130.00} is still due. I explained the above information and said he would look into it, that no one by the name of XXXX has ever worked there, then he proceeded to advise me there was over {$3000.00} of additional invoices due dating back to XX/XX/XXXX all under my wife 's name. I told him that was incorrect also. I asked him to email me the invoices and he refused.
I have dealt with J & L Teamworks over the years as our local hospital XXXX sends all of their collections to them right at the 30 days due mark. J & L Teamworks using harassing tactics and bullies their debtors as well as never following through on what they say they will do, as exemplified above. They are very fast to report inaccurate information on a debtors credit bureau as a leverage tactic, but never seem to get around to fixing the incorrect reporting. This company needs to be fined and put out of business.
Finally, they broke the HIPA laws by reviewing these " so called '' outstanding bills with me, when the account is under my wife, XXXX XXXX 's name.
I respectfully request that the CFPB contact them, get these items removed from my credit bureau as I was promised and provide a full and detailed list of these supposed past due bills amounting to {$3000.00} from XXXX.
Thank you
