The principal amount of the debt was $186,with interest accruing at 12% per annumThe date of service on the account was March 22,
Between July 20, and May 21, 2012, we called at least eighteen (18) times to *** *** and *** and removed all of those numbers as we were told the numbers were wrong numbers and did not go to *** ***

Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because:
I am not one to sit an argue but I know what I talked about with your RepI don't even know how you found out where I work for that matter, I am only replying to this email as I want an exact number you want for payment not asking me to do the math and hope I get the number rightI know you are asking for the original amount plus half the interest accrued, please reply with the actual number and I will be more then happy to contact you after my work hours to give you paymentI am not one to be this way but I am tired of being treated like a child by collection companies, I work more then my fair share of hours in order to try and repay my debts and its very hard with my husband unable to work to make sure all the bills plus any debts are being paid.Sincerely,*** ***

Mr*** *** and Mrs*** *** have two (2) judgments in our system.They have a total of accounts in our system.We did not buy any of the debts.The Statute of Limitations is six (6) years in Washington State, but given that these are Judgments, the Statute extends to ten (10) years.There
is three (3) accounts not in Judgment and beyond the six (6) year Statute of Limitation out of the ten (10) totals accounts and we have requested deletion of those accounts if they have not already been deletedThe total accounts in our system total $4,These amounts, added up, are owed to our clients and are not, in their total, “small” amounts as Ms*** indicates.Over the years, the *** have been aware of the lawsuits against them and have filed answers whereby we had a trial and they had a chance to appear in court.The *** specific request in this complaint is to delete items from her creditWe will request a deletion on the items beyond the six (6) year statute of limitation where there is not a Judgment.The second request of the *** is to not contact themWe will honor thatHowever, that also does not permit us to take any calls from the *** on this matter unless a written revocation is made of the cease correspondence.I believe this resolves exactly what the *** are asking for on the accounts

Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because:Sincerely,*** ***I have contacted this collection agency on numerous occasions. I did request and received an itemized statement regarding services rendered. I have repeatedly indicated that this is not my account....I never saw a Dermatologist while living in Washington State. They have my mailing address and, thus, I would assume my telephone number as well. I stand by my original complaint. Thank you!

Revdex.com:I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to meI am still infuriated that they deny I have ever contacted. The reason I got the itemization was because I contacted them. Shame on them! Sincerely, *** ***

Complaint: [redacted]I am rejecting this response because:
I offered to give you a small payment which was everything I had left it wasn't more then $20 but you refused. I did not refuse payments I simply stated I would review the account before I could take further action. Also I am very disappointed with your honesty as wage garnishment and going to court was a disagreement we had a few times. I know you can't just call me and tell me you are going to start garnishing my checks without first attempting to work with me on a plan to pay. I also have no clue where the surgery place got any of there information as I had never lived at one of those addresses and the other I had not lived at for a couple years. You are liars and think you can bully young adults like me and it's not going to happen. I am willing to pay the original bill of $186.00.Sincerely,[redacted]

We stand by our offer to settle. There has never been a threat of garnishment and we have not "lied" at any step of the way. The notes show our efforts to call, there was no mail return at any addresses where we mailed, we have sent an itemization of the charges, and we have offered to settle. after attempting to collect the debt for the past five (5) years .
We, again,  offer the original principal plus half the current interest to settle and will request a deletion from the credit bureau(s) upon payment of the settled amount. We will hold this offer open until January 8, 2016.

We have requested the item to be deleted. This email went to our junk folder and we just saw it, I apologize for the delay in answering it.

The account for Mr. [redacted] was sent to us originally for collection on June 21, 2011. The services were from March 4, 2010.The services were for Dermatopathology services. Ms. [redacted] disputed this item through E-Oscar and her credit bureau July 27, 2015.We sent an itemization of charges to her that...

same day and it was not mail returned. Ms. [redacted] has never called us and we have had no phone number to call her. She asks for a cease communication and that is fine, but it makes it difficult to resolve the account.If Ms. [redacted] pays the account in full (as we have sent her the itemization to prove the debt), we will delete it from her credit. If she removes the cease correspondence, we can take her call if she so chooses to contact us.We have heard nothing from her except for the request for an itemization of charges that we sent July 27, 2015.We will work with any consumer, but talking about the account goes further towards resolving accounts.We are here to assist and would like to do so.

We will send a deletion regarding this item to the credit bureau's.Ms. [redacted] has never called us or spoken to us. I am not sure how else to reply to the complaint. We are not being untruthful. She has never called us. We have not spoken to her.We are sending a deletion to the credit bureau(s).Please advise if there is more we need to do. Ms. [redacted] can keep saying she contact us, etc...but she has not.

I apologize for the late response to this. It went a a junk email folder and we are just seeing it now.
 
This matter was resolved on December 16, 2016. The accounts was listed here with out office on September 20, 2016- almost 90 days before it was paid. It was for services incurred in...

January of 2016. We called and received no return message and sued when no response was received to our letter or our message. There was opportunity to pay, but no payment was made for almost a year.

We are in receipt of the complaint from Aaron [redacted]. The account is for [redacted].   We received the account June 16, 2017 for services in the amount of $2,378.30 from October of 2014 to Puget Sound Gastroenterology.    We mailed a notice on June 16, 2017 to [redacted]...

[redacted] but that came back as mail return on June 28, 2017.   On July 13, 2017, we called and left a message for [redacted] to try and get a good address. There was no return call.   We sent a notice to [redacted] on July 14th and received a good postal trace indicating that address was good on August 1, 2017.   We filed suit August and the process service company we use served the resident at [redacted] on September 28, 2017   WE called [redacted] on October 3, 2017, but the voicemail was full.   On October 12, 2017, [redacted] called about paperwork she received. The call was from [redacted].   Ms. [redacted] spoke to us for over 30 minutes. She spoke to two people here. She stated that we “buy” debt and she wanted to pay $500 to settle. She said she will call our client, Puget Sound Gastroenterology and work with them..   To address the complaint:   I received a summons from this collection agency that I've never heard of, never received a letter from, never got a call from, saying that I'm being sued for an amount plus all these fees including attorney fees. My wife called them and offered to settle and they said no that we have to pay the full amount. It's either pay the whole amount or go to court and they will garnish our wages. She also told my wife that they are not a collection agency and do not settle or take payments. I checked their website and and discovered that they lied about attorney fees, they have an employee who is lawyer, they are a collection agency that does settle and do take payments. I will also filed complaint with the Attorney General of the state of Washington.   1.       We mailed a letter to the same address where the Summons and Complaint was served. There was no mail return. 2.       The phone number we called matches the phone number for [redacted] when she called us on September 12, 2017. 3.       We never threatened to garnish wages. 4.       We never said we are a not a collection agency. We said we are not debt buyers. 5.       No where on our website does it say that we “settle” accounts?   As we are not debt buyers, we cannot settle for $500 on a bill that has a principal balance of $2,378.30 and that has been owed since 2014. We will note this for a hearing and notify the consumers when that has been set.   We understand this situation can be frustrating and the hearing will help resolve this situation.   Also, a copy of the itemization for this bill will go in the mail today to [redacted].   This is an attempt to collect a debt. Any information obtained will be used for that purpose.
