    I keep getting these text messages from number ************ telling me to contact ************ (EID=Z4B8XN47WH) or I can pay online at *****************************************************. Says this communication is from Medical Data Systems, a debt collector. They say I have 3 accounts totaling ****** from ******************* that have been placed with their system for collections. Tells me I may be eligible for a payment plan, settlement or significant discount. Yet they are not obligated to renew any offers that may be available they are not limited in time.I do not owe this bill, I do not have this kind of bill with Atrium Health, I own them $20 at this point and that is all. I am a ******** recipient so my bill would not be that extravagant to begin with. The beginning of the year Atrium Health wiped my bill clean so I owed nothing at all. I want this company to stop contacting me, stop stressing me out as I have many health issues, even terminal. And not in no way even try to put this upon my credit.

    Complaint: 22624308

    I am rejecting this response because: Recently, the collections from Medical Data Systems were removed/deleted from my consumer profile on Experian and *********************, but not on my ********** credit profile or my TransUnion report on Credit Karma. Medical Data Systems is reporting this as a delinquent account, more than 30 days late. This is damaging my consumer credit profile, and I want to know why this collection has been deleted from Experian and Equifax but not my ********** credit profile. Credit Karma shows the Medical Data Systems account is still showing on **********, while also indicating that this collection was deleted from my Equifax and Experian profiles. I gave you all 5 business days to update my consumer credit profile properly, but the Medical Data Systems collection has not been removed from all three bureaus. Once again, I demand that this collection be deleted from all three credit bureaus. Only then will I be a satisfied consumer.

    Sincerely,

    ****** **********

    Upon receipt of your complaint, we investigated the specific information contained in the dispute, the creditors Account information, and our internal information.

    As a result, we have requested the deletion of the credit entry. We find that most updates are completed within 5 business days however, we have no control over and are not responsible for whether or how long it takes the consumer reporting agency to update its records.

    We have also closed the Accounts. You may contact the creditor directly with any questions or concerns.
