Complaint #1515697 submitted on 08/12/2015 relating to Accounts Research, Inc.. Complaint relates to Debt collection Medical - Improper contact or sharing of info Contacted employer after asked not to.
Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Wednesday 12th August 2015.
I chose that they contacted my employer but that 's not even the main issue I have. My complaints are with accounts research on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX tn. I spoke with XXXX. He has contacted me about debt collection of a {$480.00} bill. With how busy I have been being in and out of the hospital, taking care of my toddler, moving, etc. I was just now getting back with them today. They called my husbands place of employment. Which we definitely never gave them permission to do but I still called them back because I realized I needed to make a payment on the account. So I called this morning and offered to make a {$50.00} payment today and start up a payment plan and they refused my payment. I was told that I either had to pay half today then half in thirty days or pay all today. Otherwise it would be turned over to court. So distraught I got off the phone while I was trying to figure out my options. I literally do n't have the amount of money they requested. So I was scared of what was going to happen. I called the doctors office that the bill was originally with and tried to find out if they could get the bill back so I could start a payment plan with them. They told me they had signed a contractSaying that they could n't do that so I called XXXX this afternoon and this time I recorded the phone call. Not only did they not verify my identity, he basically called me a liar about speaking to the Drs office, he called me irreasonble because I could n't pay the amount that he is requiring, and refused payment once again. He also ended the conversation by stating that he was n't willing to work with me. Now I understand that I owe a debt and that the debt has went on longer than it should have but now that I 'm able to start paying a little on it at a time I should n't be told no. I definitely should n't have to deal with someone that wo n't even consider working with me. Life happens and sometimes you do n't have {$500.00} spare to spend out but since I was trying to take care of it a little at a time I believe this situation should have been handled a whole lot differently. Once again I did record the final phone call that I can email to someone if they need proof of this interaction. I thank you so much for taking my complaint into consideration.
