    RE:                 Case # ******** *****************************


    To Whom This May ******************** letter is in response to the complaint filed by ********************************* against Durham & Durham, LLP. Our firm represents The ******************************** the original creditor, in this matter. We offer this information as a formal response to your inquiry and a proposed resolution for this case.  

    It is common practice for healthcare specialists to operate independently from the hospital facility. Independent specialists (e.g. emergency room physicians, radiologists, anesthesiologists,etc.) are not employees of the hospital and thus generate their bills for the services they provide The ******************************** uses PaymentsMD as their billing company, www.paymentsmd.com / **************.  

    ****************** stated he has been making payments on an account for Mr. **************************** File Number *******. All payments were applied to Mr. ******* account, ******* until that account balance reached zero balance. All other payments received were applied to *************************** account, File Number ********, which still has a balance owing of $616.38.Please see the enclosed payment history for both accounts.  

    In detail regarding *************************** account, we are attempting to collect on behalf of the emergency physician for services provided to ****************** on December 19th, 2019, at ******************************** by The ******************************** physician, ****************************** MD. The original charge for this emergency room visit was $1,400.00. Payments were applied to Mr. ******** account and has a balance owing of $616.38.   

    We appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter and hope that this will serve as a resolution for this complaint. There has not been any action, credit reporting, or otherwise regarding this account by ********************** & Durham, LLP. 

    If you or ******************, have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call me directly at ************ or email me directly at ********************************************************.

    Pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, this is an attempt to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. 

    Respectfully,

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

    Ive received calls and letters from this debt collector saying that I owe an outstanding medical invoice. I called the hospital from which this account was originated and they told me that there is no outstanding balance. I gave them the law firms information and was told that they are not associated with them at all. I even gave them the Original Creditor Account Number and they say they have no record of that number. These people have my ************* personal information. It seems like a scam and theyre to get me to pay a **** that does not exist.

    I keep getting calls from this company day and night. But no one ever is on the line. I have reported the number to metro pcs and blocked but some how still calling **** looked the company up and said that they work to collect medical debt. I have free health care from the VA health care system with no deductibles or copay's and all is paid 100 percent. I noticed the calls started after I started my radiation treatments with Emory. I also noticed that billing at Emory always said no insurance but that was corrected and Emory has been paid. I never received any mail requesting money from Emory or durham and durham . I'm asking the company to stop calling me or explain to me why they are calling to settle this matter.
