      This number called me and asked for me by name. I did not offer my name nor would I disclose that was my name. I asked who this was... they said Kol-telk/Colteck? Not sure of spelling... she kept saying is this ******* is this *******. I said I am not going to tell you my name until you tell me who you are and why you are calling.. she said ok thank you for your time and then hung up. Sounds very suspicious. I would like this number to never call me again and hope they are not calling others in this suspicious and disrespectful manner.

       I am rejecting this response because:

      I would like more of an explanation as to how this was a legitimate call. The lady was very pushy for my private information would not tell me Why she was calling. Either this is a scam call or a very inappropriate business style. Either way, I hope this doesnt happen to someone else and do not accept that response without further explanation of who this company is why they want my information and a plan for them not to treat others this way.

      When someone calls you from a collection agency-before discussing the account they have to verify that it is the correct person there are calling,

      Had surgery 7/14/23 and did not receive any bills from twin cities anesthesia associates. Started receiving calls and letters from American Accounts & Advisors, attempted to contact them via website/email on 2/3/24 because they keep calling during my work hours. Did not hear a response from them in regards to my inquiries via my preferred method of contact. Tried contacting Twin Cities Anesthesia directly and they do not have a website to even set up payments with, calling has led no where.I'm not liable for the debt with Associated Anesthesiologist, I do not have a contract with the collection agency American Accounts & Advisers and now they're threatening me with legal action for funds I do not have at my disposal.

       I am rejecting this response because:

      You have not been in contact with me via phone because you call during my work hours from a number I do NOT recognize. I have attempted to call TC anesthesiologist and was directed to their billing phone # which is now conveniently experiencing a power outage. As I have stated I have not received the original billing statement to begin with from them. I also have a screenshot of confirmation having reached out to you via your contact us on your website and again no response and I just tried returning Dawns call from your office with no call back yet (Ill make sure to try again later). Also its ****************.
