Received a call from an out of state number. Stating they were with PCC and that I owed money. Spoke with company to verify what the bill was from and had them send me a breakdown of bills with the information from the company. Received a letter that is not professionally typed. Does not provide any details of what the bill is from. Spoke to manager *** and he was very unprofessional. He told me the bill was from two years ago and another one from a year ago. Stated they were from a doctor that I have never even heard of. He was unable to provide me with a phone number or address from where these bills were from. He said he could provide an email address. Very unprofessional and suspicious of being a scam. I told them I refuse to pay something over the phone unless Im provided more proof of these bills and I will not claim them.Business Response

Per an explanation to the consumer over the phone where both one of my staff members and I stated that the client that listed the bill did not provide us a phone number for the consumer to contact them. Due to the nature of the bills, the consumer would not have had direct contact with the providers. Following our procedure to investigate disputes, we were unable to obtain itemized statements from the providers and the compliance team has cancelled and returned the accounts.Customer Answer

The consumer has filed multiple disuputes which our office has investigated and determined that the accounts are owed. The consumer did not respond to our written request for more information.
Our contract is not with the consumer, but with the original creditor with whom he created the debt. He has, in the last 12 months received all other information as requested from our office.

Dear Better Business Bureau,
We are writing in response to Mr. ***** ********* complaint regarding the account placed with ******************** (PCC) related to services provided by ******************
We received Mr. ******** initial dispute on June 14, 2024. After verifying the debt, we responded on June 24, 2024, sending a detailed itemization of the balance and a description of the services rendered by Basha Diagnostics to the address he provided.
On July 31, 2024, we received a second dispute, which included a radiology report. However, this documentation did not substantiate Mr. ******** claim that the account had been paid in full by his insurance provider.
On January 2, 2025, Mr. ******* submitted an additional dispute, stating that the account was the result of identity theft. As we had already received a radiology report indicating the services were provided to him, we requested appropriate supporting documentation for this new claimsuch as a police report or an FTC identity theft affidavit.
On May 19, 2025, we received a formal cease communication request, which we immediately honored. We also disabled Mr. ******** phone number in our system to ensure compliance.
Lastly, we responded to Mr. ******** initial BBB complaint on June 16, 2025, providing the information outlined above.
If Mr. ******* would like to further discuss this matter or provide the requested documentation, he may contact our office at ************.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,

To whom this may concern. Professional Collectors have made NO attempt to contact me in anyway nor have they shown proof with My Wet Signature that I owe the debt According to the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act. Reporting information that they know is inaccurate Or failing to report information correctly Violate The fair reporting credit act. 15 U.S.C.&1692(c). I Do Not OWE Professional Collectors and Never Created any Debt with them and I Need them to remove this fraud from my Credit report. I Need the BBB help.

BBB Complaint Response Case #********
Dear Better Business Bureau and ***** ******,
We appreciate the opportunity to respond to the complaint filed regarding the account in question.
Our records indicate that the consumer has not responded to any of our direct collection attempts. Despite multiple outreach efforts made via standard communication channels, we have not received any direct response from the consumer. The only communication we have received has been an indirect dispute submitted through the credit bureau.
The consumer has alleged a lack of fair treatment and ethical standards in our handling of the account. We take such concerns seriously and would like to clarify that all actions taken on our part have been conducted in accordance with applicable regulations and industry standards. Upon receipt of the credit bureau dispute, we followed the proper dispute investigation procedures and updated the account status appropriately with the credit bureaus.
Following the submission of this response to the BBB, we will also be sending our formal dispute investigation results to the consumer via mail. This will include verification of the debt from the original creditor, as well as an itemization of the charges associated with the account.
We remain committed to transparency and fair practices and are open to working with the consumer should they choose to engage directly in resolution efforts.
