    I was sent a letter in the mail saying I owe this debt collector over one thousand dollars due to money I owe to my local hospital. Upon calling the hospital to verify the debt, they said I do not owe any money.

    We received a medical bill that was taken care of by our health insurance with the doctor (who submitted the bill to the wrong insurance company at first...) . When I called about this bill, it was within a month back in February 2023. I again contacted my insurance company in April 2023, and again in June 2023. The DOCTOR resubmitted the bill to the insurance company. Once our insurance received the bill (Nov 2023) the insurance company paid the bill per their contract with them. I did not receive another bill from the doctor. August 6, 2024, I received a letter from Scheer, Green & Burke. NO ONE answers their phones! I have called 3x and my insurance company (with me on the phone) has called 3x in the last four days to try to talk to someone. BTW: I called the 800 number which tries to sell all kinds of medical equipment... is this a legit place of business? I would have liked to talk to someone to try to work through the issue of the bill as this bill/claim was paid by my insurance carrier. My insurance company would also like to discuss the bill being removed from collections as the claim was processed by them. Please note:When I click continue I do not see that my documentation is uploaded, so I have tried 4x to upload. I will try again. Thank you.

    This Claim is no longer in this office.  I am not certain what this consumer means by "in collections". 

    We did not add anything to a credit bureau report from this office.

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

    However, just as they sent me a formal letter stating that they were "trying to collect a debt", I would like a formal letter stating that the claim has been removed from

    their business.

    Sincerely,

    ****** ****** **.

    Received a notice back in March 2024 for past due amount. Still have no idea what it was for. On the day we received the notice, my husband called and paid the amount stated in full. We have the approval code provided by the law office and funds were taken from our credit card. This was on March 4, 2024. Now we are receiving the same notice in the mail as if this was not paid in full. See attached showing approval code given to us at the time of payment in full. Unacceptable business practice.

    The court costs are not paid.  The underlying debt is paid.  The 130 is owed to court costs.

    Customer Answer

    Date: 06/13/2024


    Complaint: ********

    I am rejecting this response because: That information is incorrect.  The court costs of $130 was paid in full over the phone with ****** on 6/2/24. We have information including the approval code to back it up.  The court needs to be updated immediately that the outstanding cost was due to the lack of correct information provided when the original payment was made on 3/4/24 - 3 months ago. This needs added to the official record with the court. We were not informed of any additional costs AT ALL or they would have been paid at that time. No call or voicemail was left on my cell phone contrary to ******’s stating there was. 

    Sincerely,

    ******* *****

    This account was paid in full, upon paying off this account they were suppose to provide me with a receipt and documentation stating that this matter has been paid in full, Not only did I not get a receipt emailed to me after they were extremely rude, they failed to notify the court that the debt was paid in full. I feel like they have immoral and unscrupulous business practices along with Beaumont Hospital. Just send me the proper documentation so you cant come back next year stating that this debt isn't paid!

    This complaint is meritless.  We are happy to resend the consumer the email.  Kindly provide this to me and it will be sent today.  Additionally, the court was notified of the payment the day it was made.

    I was garnished for a hospital bill from Beaumont Hospital in Taylor,Mi which was supposed to been handled by my auto insurance however it wasn’t so, I was responsible. I began getting garnished by Hal D Burke July 2022 or August 2022 I can’t remember the actual month because I was on maternity leave. However Hal D Burke attorney office began garnishing myself every week and the garnishment was completed in October 2022. I received letters from the Michigan Department of treasury letting me know that my taxes was being withheld because of a medical garnishment. I contacted all parties about this matter and Hal D Burke refused to give me accurate information about my refund and hung up on me. They received a check from the Michigan Department of treasury on September 19th 2023 in the amount of 3308.59 and was cashed from the office on September 25th 2023. I contacted them after I received that information on how will I get reimbursed the representative ***** began being rude stating it’s nothing else to be done and hung up on me on September 28th 2023 around noon to 12:15 est. So, I don’t know what else to do or go about getting my money but to contact the BBB because this is wrong and unfair. I’ve paid over 6,500 for a 3300 balance that was taken care of in October 2022. I just want my money.

    My wife ****** ****** received a collections letter from Scheer, Green, & Burke Co. L.P.A.. since I am here husband, I pay the bills. I contacted the above to inform them that Toledo Radiological never sends us a bill, they just send it up the above for collections and I wanted to know why. They said they couldn’t talk to me and had to get authorization from my wife and they hung up on me. My wife and I called back on a conference call to the same person and they just hung up on us and now will not take our call. So unprofessional. I will be filing a complaint against Toledo Radiological Associates also. It says right in Scheer, Green, & Burke’s letter that we can call them if we have a dispute. We did and now they won’t even take our call???? What kind if business is this??

    I recieved a letter stating they have obtained a medical debt in my name. Whenever I get these, I always pay the orginal debtor. So I called up my medical offices. No unpaid bills or anything sent to collections. I called insurance. Nothing unpaid. I called hospitals, nothing unpaid. I called the law offices who said they were collecting on a debt from 2016. So I recalled all of the offices to have them search in their history. Still nothing. So I wrote to them, as instructed on the notice, disputing the validity of the debt and to stop collecting. They then sent me a copy of a bill that shows a zero balance, but wrote in pen on the cover letter that I owe them. How does that make sense???? On top of that, these charges on this bill are from 2022? I have nothing in collections, and I will get my lawyer involved if they persist with these fraudulent claims.

    The Consumer still owes the debt.  If the consumer desires to, contact our office.  

    This is an attempt to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose.

    Complaint: ********

    I am rejecting this response because: According to your documentation sent to me the debt owed is zero dollars. No actual proof of a debt owed has been proven. Just written in ink. The response isn't sufficient to waste my time trying to call your office.

    April 2022 This company Garnished my wages for a medical bill. I have no problem because I owed on the bill. The bill was already being paid. The company agreed. $1200 is still owed back to me and no bills were paid by this firm. It took 5 months to get this company to finally realize they cashed the checks. Multiple conversations with people at this company and the response I always got was we didn't cash the checks. Finally I was able to get with my payroll company and show them proof that they cashed them. Still waiting on the check they said they would send directly to me on December 3r 2022 This company is terrible and I will most likely file against them to pay for company s HR Managers and my time put in to this.

    I received a statement from Scheer, Green & Burke .Co for a camera violation for 115.00. The phone number listed on the statement is a recording, asking me to press option # 2. I was never given the opportunity to press any number. I went on line to see if I could find any other phone number, and I did find one. This number does gives you options, but no matter what choice I pick, it gets me no where or hangs up on me. I also found an e mail. Someone emailed me, said I could pay by phone, or online. He gave me an extension to try, no one answered this either. I really didnt want to give my c.c. info with out speaking to a live person, but I had no other choice. I paid on line, it didnt ask for the account number listed on the statement, or the reference number listed on the statement. I wasnt given a receipt or anything. I responded to the email, and asked for a call back because I was given no proof that I paid, but no one called or emailed me. I am not even sure this company is legit.

    [[BBB TRANSCRIPTION VIA TELEPHONE CALL W/THE BUSINESS 7/8/2022]]

    BBB spoke with the accredited business. She confirmed consumer paid debt online and payment was applied to the account on 6/16/2022. She stated they are a small office with high volume calls. There was no notes listed as a phone call received, only an email. The business verified consumer's email address with what was given with the BBB complaint and sent a copy of the payment via email while speaking with the BBB.
