    I am filing this complaint on behalf of my husband, ***** ******, as he has residual medical issues from brain surgery. In early March, ** received a bill from *** **************** of Cortez in the amount of $36.28 for 1/15/24 date of service (reorder of CPAP supplies). I set up bill pay in our checking account on 3/8/24 to pay this in full; check cleared our account on 3/12/24. On 3/27/24 ** received a past due notice so I immediately responded via email telling them the bill had already been paid and included a copy of the front and back of the check. On 4/2/24 I called the billing questions phone number and spoke with ****. I realized I had inadvertently omitted **** name and account number on the check so it was sent with my name on it rather than ***** and our physical address rather than the PO box they have on file for **. I apologized for this error and told **** I would send another email to them explaining the situation because perhaps they didn't know where to post the check. In my mind, however, the same patient last name, the same **** ***** town name, and the same amount due on the check should have been a red flag but was not. **** assured me she would have them look into this and we would not be charged a late fee. On 4/20/24, nearly 3 weeks later, ** received bill #3 for $51.28 (including $15 late fee), threatening collection agency or attorney involvement. On 4/21/24 I sent a third email, forwarding the 4/2/24 email I sent with another copy of the check sent on 3/8/24 that cleared our account on 3/12/24. On 4/23/24, I received a response from ***** saying she would have someone look into the issue and get back with an update and she also mentioned speaking with a live agent. I responded via email once again and described the situation in detail again. No further response. We are fearful they will harm **** credit status by sending him to collections. We would appreciate any help you can give us in getting this issue resolved.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your email. We wanted to let you know that this complaint (ID # ******** - *** **************** ** ******) was finally resolved on 5/17/24. 

    A lady from the *** **************** ** ****** Corporate Compliance Department in PA called apologizing for all the problems we encountered. She told me she had posted our payment, adjusted the bill and removed the late fee, so **** account is now zeroed out. We also received a letter in the mail from them confirming the actions. 

    You may close this complaint in your file as RESOLVED. Please let me know if you need any additional information from us besides this email saying it has been resolved. 

    Thank you so much for helping us. We really do appreciate it.

    Sincerely,
    ***** * ****** ******
