      Ive asked for verification of debt and have not received it. My biggest complaint- the associate (who said it was recorded) told me my date of service, doctor and what i was diagnosed with! This is a HIPPA violation. I asked to speak to a manager and sat on hold for over an hour. They constantly call me. I am livid!!!! You should NOT know my personal information!!!! I want this removed from my credit and demolished ASAP or i will be contacting an attorney

      I am receiving phone calls more than once a day from Hollis **** regarding a medical debt to ************************************** that just showed up on my credit report and lowered my score by 60 points. I ignored their calls because I don't know anything about this debt, nor have I ever been to **************************************. Medical ************ is alleging that I owe them $2,046 and this has to be a case of identity theft. I am also seeking legal counsel for the harassment of phone calls that are threatening and illegal as well as to have this debt removed. I have a perfect credit report and this is outrageous. *************************** is my name and I would like this resolved immediately.

      Hollis Cobb Associates is a collection company that is engaging in harassing and unscrupulous billing practices. They call us daily, are very rude and are threatening. We have made a meaningful good faith effort to resolve an outstanding medical bill. However, they continue to be threatening and unwilling to negotiate in good faith. The outstanding debts are for *********************** (my wife) and *********************** (my minor son).

      I would like clarification from the business as to the status of the outstanding debt and their response that they will put the file in a cease posture. To be clear, I am willing to pay $1,800 in a good faith effort to resolve all outstanding debts associated with *********************** and ***********************. Please let me know if that is satisfactory and what the next steps are.

      Hollis Cobb Associates sent a debt collection letter to my 13 year old claiming that she owed a bill from a doctor for orthopedic services. They gave me a name of a doctor we had never seen and a date of service that does not exist anywhere. I called my doctor's ********************** and was informed we did not have an outstanding bill nor does the hospital use that billing company for collections. When I contacted Hollis **** they threatened to purse my minor daughter until the bill is paid. They are now harassing me with phone calls for a debt that does not exist. We've been going to the same hospital since my daughter was born. So there is no connection with this other doctor they are claiming.
