    This company called me back in October to collect on a balance I had with a dental office. When I explained to this company that I had dual insurance and only one of my insurance companies received the claim. They did not want to hear this at all, they spent their time arguing with me, treating me as if I just did not want to pay my bills. It was not until I had to provide them with several supporting documents and conducted a conference call with the insurance company, that they backed down and gave me some validation. Now. this was on October 26, 2023. Fast forward to 4/4/24 after ZERO communication they came back trying to collect the same amount. I again advised them after looking up my information, that the claim had not been received by my secondary insurance nor processed. Again they argued with me and treated me like I just did not want to pay my bills. Again, I sent the manager documentation and conducted another conference call with my insurance company, and Finally he backs down, and concedes to saying he will call the office to follow up and see what happened. I don't understand why this company treats customers the way they do. I understand they are dealing with people that have outstanding balances, but sometimes things are not what they seem, and it would serve them, to slow down, take the time to look over and hear what we are saying.

    Re: Inquiry Ref: *******************;
    04/04/24

    Your No: 21502022 

    This is in response to your letter of 04/04/24 relating to a complaint filed with the BBB by ***** *** Unfortunately, we cannot discuss any matter concerning any consumer with a third party unless we have received the written authorization from that consumer. This limitation is mandated on us by both Federal and State law: (b)Communication with third parties; "Except as provided in section 1692b of this title, without the prior consent of the consumer given directly to the debt collector, or the express permission of a court of competent jurisdiction, or a reasonably necessary to effectuate a post judgment judicial remedy, a debt collector may not communicate, in connection with the collection of any debt, with any person other than the consumer, his attorney, a consumer reporting agency if otherwise permitted by law, the creditor, the attorney of the creditor, or the attorney of the debt collector". Though you may feel that such authorization is implied by the filing of the complaint, it is necessary for us to obtain an express authorization. Enclosed please find a written disclosure authorization form that we use for this purpose. Upon receipt of this fully executed form, I will be able to discuss the specified matters relating to the consumer. Of course, the consumer may contact me directly concerning any complaints as well. 
    Sincerely, 
    ************************* ext 236

    I was sent a letter from CVCS stating I owed money to an urgent care and now the collection service was taking over. I called the number on the letter and spoke to Jennifer Ruiz. I asked when the date of my visit was and she replied with Feb 9th 2019. As this was years ago I didn’t feel like contesting the bill would be right. So I paid it in full with interest at $35.51 on 6-23-23 with my credit/debit card. I asked her to send a receipt or letter stating I’m paid in full and have a 0 balance. I received the letter a couple days later. I have still received emails from the urgent care stating I still owe 25.00. I called the urgent care on several occasions. I called on 7-17-23 and lastly on 8-22-23. I was told the first time that they would notify the collection agency and make sure I’m all paid up. On 8-22-23 I was told I needed to call not them. I have tried countless times since then to notify the collection agency to no avail. The line is either busy or says that the call can’t be completed as dialed. It does not matter the time of day, same issue. I’ve tried calling other 800 numbers found from their website and I get the same issue. I don’t want this affecting my credit so I tried to rectify this issue but have no idea where else to go. At this point I’m starting to wonder if this is all legit or I got scammed.
