    This company just entered a random "bill" from over 6 years ago and without a history or explanation, it was posted on my credit report. Judging from all the other complaints on here, I'd say you guys are used to hearing about them. I was transferred a few times and can literally hear other callers in the background using scamming terms and saying almost the exact same script to everyone as they did to me. This "debt" is non existent and they say it's a medical debt. I go to the VA medical center for all my care and even if I get seen somewhere else, it's reported and paid for by the VA. I had the VA on the phone with these people via 3 way call and they just changed the story each time. We run a private investigator firm and I can say this company is a scan and violates MULTIPLE fair credit reporting act statutes amongst the criminal acts they are involved in as well. If you don't believe me, I encourage you to actually do the research instead of just pushing this through an algorithm because my attorney is on hot standby and he is very expensive and very good. This has affected my credit for no reason and my business and the lack of accountability is astonishing. Even the details on the credit report have ONE day and it went straight to collections just last month apparently..."6 years later" for this fake account. They had basic info which means they just got my info off of public spaces from my business registration.

    About a year ago, I filed a complaint with BBB about this debt. The company didn't want to speak about it publicly so they emailed me about this and took the debt off my credit. They claimed they would reach out and send a bill about this debt. To this day not the original company the debt came from nor the debt collector has ever sent a bill called or made an attempt but they continue to put it on my credit every 6 months tanking my credit. I've had enough of it. I want this dropped permanently because any of the companies involved is said debt have never produced a bill. I don't even want to discuss it further at this point because it's irritating yes people need to pay their debts but if no one ever sends a bill it can't be paid. And at this point if the debt was from 4 years ago then that means any company had 4 years to rectify this for payment and they need to take responsibility for not sending a bill. I want this off my credit and done. If it stays on my credit I will dispute it through experian, equifax and transunion and if need be I will speak to an attorney. This should be illegal. If need be I will produce the email telling me this would be dealt with but I don't have time today to do so.

    I have never had contact with this business in my life, yet starting October 6th 2023 my phone has been spammed with calls from "**** ********* at "Credit Management Company" using the phone number ************ I do not have any credit card debt with this company I have never had a credit card.
    If this company is legit then this behavior is unacceptable as it is a waste of time and scummy to send robocalls to people.

    Received a collection notice from Credit Management Company. However, I never received an initial bill from the medical provider. I have called, left four messages, and sent three emails over the course of a week to dispute their collection attempts until they respond with an explanation of the charges and provide documentation for the charges. I have yet to hear back from Credit Management Company after several attempts. No one is ever available when I call, they don't call back, or respond to emails.

    On January 25th, 2024 I received an email from Credit Management Company stating that I owe $558 to First Texas Hospital for a service on 10/23/2019!!! Four years ago!?! I have never received a bill or a phone call by these entities demanding payment! I have kept same home address in the last 25 years. Initially, I dismissed this as a scum as I have never been treated at First Texas for anything. Few days later, I received a letter from this Company stating the same as in the email. This time I took this seriously and decided to check my credit report. To my shock, I discovered that a collection report has been posted and that my credit score received a 150 point ding due to this activity. Reporting (imaginary) debt to credit agencies without notifying the customer is a violation of Federal law! They are supposed to send a letter via Certified mail. I have contacted my United Health Care insurance and upon further investigation it turned out that I have visited on this date and emergency room owned by the above Hospital (now defunct). However, UHC stated to me that the Emergency Room was paid the negotiated rate and that the only amount due was my co-pay ($200) which I paid at the front office before I was treated. Therefore, this Company is wrong about the existence of this debt and is in violation of the Federal law and my rights. Therefore, I demand an immediate removal of the negative collection report from the 3 agencies Experian, Equifax and Transunion. Also, I am in discussion with my lawyer about pursuing legal action against this Company for time wasted and negative impact on otherwise perfect credit score.
