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 $but you refusedI did not refuse payments I simply stated I would review the account before I could take further actionAlso I am very disappointed with your honesty as wage garnishment and going to court was a disagreement we had a few timesI 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 payI 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 yearsYou are liars and think you can bully young adults like me and it's not going to happenI am willing to pay the original bill of $186.00.Sincerely, [redacted] ***

We stand by our offer to settleThere has never been a threat of garnishment and we have not "lied" at any step of the wayThe 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 settleafter 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 amountWe will hold this offer open until January 8,
