Complaint #1794641 submitted on 02/20/2016 relating to Western Control Services, Inc.. 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 Saturday 20th February 2016.

Narrative (may be redacted).

Collection agency took over claim in XX/XX/XXXX for a medical visit that took place in 2010. I had previously paid this medical provider, albeit somewhat late. ( The bill was for {$44.00} - it was not a life shattering event creating out of control medical bills. I was simply having financial problems as evidenced by later events. ) Even if I had n't paid that bill, by XX/XX/XXXX, I had filed a Chapter XXXX bankruptcy and the collection agency should rightfully have filed a claim with the trustee, but they did not. Any valid claim would have discharged with the bankruptcy in XX/XX/XXXX, yet the collection agency was not included in the trustee 's list. Perhaps because it was not a valid claim? To add further insult to injury, this collection agency never sent me any bills or notice to back up their claim. Perhaps they tried to call, but like so many other debt collectors that I dealt with during the course of my bankruptcy, they would either refuse to leave a message on my phone or simply hang up when I answered. When I tried to call back, the phone would either go to a busy signal or was not a phone that could receive in-bound calls.

In any case, the collection agency has gone around the federal bankruptcy court, ignored the orders of the trustee ( again, assuming they had a valid claim ) and now tried to " reset '' the clock for a bill that was incurred XX/XX/XXXX, which I understand to be in violation of other laws.
