Last Year I started a payment plan with a company called Harvard Collections Services claiming I owed money to Brookdale Hospital here in Brooklyn NY. I informed them the reason I stopped payment this year because I was under different circumstances due to my mother's health taking a turn and involving me having to take care of her full time without any way of paying them. They stopped calling for 2 months then began calling again and as my mother's condition worsened I explained to them I couldn't resume payment anytime soon. They called and called again and again even up to my mother's death in July. I informed them I wasn't able to make any payment arrangements and that I wouldn't be paying them anytime soon due to the rudeness they showed on the phone with me on three different occasions. Today they just went in my account and took their money without any authorization at all. I had to call my bank to get this matter resolved and now I look them up online and find nothing but Revdex.com complaints on them and other complaints. They won't even pick up the phone they just leave you on hold for a min and hang up. This company and companies like it need to be stopped.

We welcome and appreciate the opportunity to respond to any issue a consumer may have with Harvard Collections Services Inc. (HCS).
The account in question was placed with us on 12-30-16.
We were placed with 2 accounts for the consumer, one of which is closed as paid in full as on October 6, 2017. On the second account, we have received partial payment towards the account balance from the consumer on October 20, 2017 and April 30, 2018.
Upon receipt of the complaint, we have initiated a refund on the account for the payment received on October 19, 2018. Please allow 7-10 business days for the funds to reflect in your account.

I just found a collection from Harvard Collection agency on my credit report. I have never done business with the original collector they have stated shadow services, and I have never heard from either of these places in my life. When disputed via *** it came back as verified which is impossible because I've never done business with them.
Several other things are wrong here: It says it's for a medical debt, but by law now medical debt would have required 180 days of notice to the consumer before even being able to be placed on a credit report, which also never happened because I've never heard from these people by mail, phone or otherwise. I also have insurance which covers all medical expensives, not to mention I never visited a medical facility during the time stated and have never been to the place listed.
Please remove this collection from all credit agencies it reports to and make sure the incorrect collection is not sold.

We welcome and appreciate the opportunity to respond to any issue a consumer may have with Harvard Collections Services Inc. (HCS).
The account in question was placed with us on 08-02-18.
We received an eOscar dispute on this account from the consumer on 10-11-18 requesting for the validation of debt. Following the eOscar dispute the account was placed on dispute status and the validation of debt was requested from the client.
We never had a verbal contact with the consumer on this account.
As per the consumer complaint received stating that her insurance covers all medical expenses. We would like to inform consumer as per the records Insurance has already taken care off their part at the time of service and this remaining balance is consumer’s responsibility.
The account has already been no dispute status and the validation of debt has been requested.

Harvard Collection Services Inc. is reporting an invalid debt to the credit agencies. I was billed *** Emergency Phy for services rendered on June 23, 2016 for the amount of $116.37. I paid this bill in full on November 5, 2016 with email confirmation. I also have bank statements proving the payment was processed. Harvard Collection Services Inc never informed me of this collection prior to reporting to the credit agencies.

Not only is the Revdex.com A+ rating for the Harvard Collection Services, Inc. an atrocious betrayal of customers, it is endorsing a scam outfit that calls people, browbeats them into revealing personal information, and refuses to say on whose behalf it is calling. I have lost ALL respect for the "Revdex.com."
I called this business to settle a debt. I was told from the start that once I made the first payment this account would be taken out of collections until my last payment. Now, every time I call to see why it’s still in collections, I get xferred to multiple people and none of them are giving me a straight answer. They called me every day when I owed them!! I have settled this debt and want it removed from credit report!!

I received a collection notice by mail dated May 16, 2018 from Harvard Collection Service Inc. This letter stated that I owed a alleged debt of $6456 that was purchased by *** Capital Partners LLC. Please see attached documents. I mailed out A Debt Validation letter by certified mail to both *** Capital Partners LLC and Harvard Collection Services Inc on June 11, 2018. USPS confirmed by tracking number that both letters were picked up from Post Office on June 14, 2018. The original creditor for this account is *** Emergency Physician alleged Date of service was October 18, 2016. Harvard Collection Services Inc was added to my Credit Reports with ***, *** and *** the week of July 10th and company reported three accounts in total for the amount of $2152. All three accounts reported sum up to $6456.00 the amount listed as being owed in Collection letter. Credit Reports also state all three accounts were open May 1, 2018 and they were last updated a July 1,2018. Harvard Collection Services Inc also reported the listed collection’s as being charged off in a July of 2018. However Phoenix Financial Services previously reported all three same accounts with a opening date of December 2017. Accounts could not halve been charged off in July of 2018 as reported by Harvard Collection Agency. Harvard Collection Services Inc nor *** Capital Partners LLC have responded to my Debt Validation Letter they both received on June 14, 2018. It sounds as if both Harvard and *** Collection Agency’s are Re-Aging all three alleged debts.
RE: Revdex.com Complaint Case # - ***, ***, SARETTA
We welcome and appreciate the opportunity to respond to any issue a consumer may have with Harvard Collections Services Inc. (HCS).
The three accounts at issue were assigned to our office May 3, 2018, and pertain to the complaint with Revdex.com under case # ***.
Our records indicate we have not had any verbal contact with the consumer while the account has been assigned to our office. We received a dispute from the consumer on June 14, 2018 wherein the consumer had requested for the validation of debt. The account was moved to the dispute status and validation of debt was mailed to the consumer on July 9, 2018.
We note that July 2018 is the date the account was updated with the bureaus. It is not the charge of date for the account. We do not own the debts at issue and are not re-aging the debt. Further we are reviewing the reporting process to ensure the proper format was utilized.
We have submitted the accounts at issue for deletion with the credit bureaus and the accounts with our agency have been placed on hold.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me directly at .

I received a letter for a bill from 2016 regarding a payment for a physician from a hospital ER visit. I told Steve Martin (the male I dealt with) I needed to check with my insurance to make sure this was ever billed. I was told by him I needed to pay this right away and in 30 days it would go on my trw. He said at that time I could not pay it or make arrangements and even if my insurance would pay this they would not accept a payment from them, I would have to pay this. He demanded I call him back within 4 days. I need time first to get ahold of my insurance and second if I need to pay this figure out a payment plan because the bill is just under 1000.00. He said I have to pay it in full. I felt very threatened by this company. I barely could understand his English and he kept raising his voice and speaking over me.
Harvard Collection Services placed a collection on my credit report, that I had no knowledge of. I have attempted to call the agency the day I discovered the collection on my account, but was talked to very rudely by a woman who demanded I give her my social security number or she wouldn't assist me, I refused and she hung up on me. I have mailed a debt validation letter to this company and have not received any supporting information that would validate the collection placed on my account. This debt has not been validated nor have I received anything from this company regarding this supposed debt. I am asking that this be removed from my credit report as I owe no debts, and have strong reason to believe I am being scammed.

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
Sincerely
I have no knowledge or contact from Harvard Collection Services for the collection that has been placed on my credit reports. I need this to be removed from my credit report immediately as it is making it difficult to prove my credit worthiness to other businesses. They are not the original creditor and the debt has not been validated since I have seen no proof of a signed contract with the original creditor or this collection agency.
