I am submitting this complaint to dispute a medical debt that is currently being reported on my credit report. I believe this account is inaccurate, invalid, and should be deleted.
The reported medical debt is invalid because the treatment associated with this account was never completed. Additionally, I paid for the medical services that I actually received. Therefore, I do not owe the balance that is being reported.
Furthermore, the company that purchased or is attempting to collect this alleged debt has failed to provide adequate verification of the debt despite my request. To date, I have not received documentation establishing that I legally owe the amount being reported, including documentation showing the basis for the debt, the amount claimed, or evidence that the collector has the legal authority to collect it. Without proper verification, there is no basis for continuing to report this account as a valid debt.
Reporting this account as an outstanding debt is inaccurate and does not fairly reflect my financial obligations. I request that the furnisher and the credit reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation by reviewing all relevant medical billing records, payment records, and documentation supporting the validity of this alleged debt.
Pursuant to my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., I request that any information that can not be verified as complete and accurate be deleted from my credit reports. If the furnisher can not provide competent evidence demonstrating that I legally owe the reported balance, the account must be removed.
To the extent applicable, I also request that this matter be reviewed for compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692 et seq., including the requirements concerning debt validation and the prohibition against false, deceptive, or misleading representations regarding the character, amount, or legal status of a debt.
Accordingly, I respectfully request that : A thorough investigation be conducted into this disputed account.
The furnisher and debt collector provide competent documentation verifying that the debt is valid, accurate, and legally enforceable.
Documentation be provided establishing that the reported balance is owed despite the treatment not being completed and despite payment for the services that were actually rendered.
If the debt can not be fully verified with competent evidence, the account be permanently deleted from all consumer reporting agencies.
I receive written confirmation of the investigation results and any corrective actions taken.
