Narrative (may be redacted).

I received phone calls from ACS collection agency around XXXX of XXXX regarding a medical debt that did not belong to me back from XXXX of XXXX. I tried to explain the situation at the time and was threatened with legal action. I called the hospital the charge was from and spoke with billing where it was discovered I had the same name as the individual whom the charge belonged but different birthdays and social security numbers. As well as the fact I have never been to that facility and was in XXXX when the charge occurred. I was assured the situation was resolved and I never heard from the collection agency or medical facility again. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I discovered on my credit report a medical charge filed by ACS Collection agency for the same medical expense that was supposed to have been resolved when I called them in XXXX of XXXX. The charged was filed with the credit reporting company on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. This charge does not belong to me and I was told the issue was resolved.
