    I was seen at **************** in July of 2024. I started asking for assistance August of 2024. They turned me over to Medicredit while I was waiting for assistance. I've been asking *** to recall the bill so I can pay, they won't. I tried to give Medicredit 40 on January 19th to show I am trying. I was told over the phone on Feb. 6th that wasn't enough. I offered to pay less, she wouldn't do it. She told me I could pay them over 300 over 6 months. I guess she didn't understand when I told her I didn't have 1800+ to give. I've NUMEROUS other hospital bills to pay...a lesser amount would help. Since they won't accept less, I need Medicredit to cease and desist all contact with me. I'd rather deal with *** myself.

    I have reviewed the business' response regarding complaint ID ******** and am satisfied with this resolution. I contacted **************** this morning and they accepted my payment I offered them.  The representative did tell me that it will remain on Medicredit and they will see my payments to HCA on their end.  She said they couldn't set up a payment plan because Medicredit does have it, but I can still pay them monthly with no problem. I'm good so long as Medicredit abides by the cease and desist.  
     
    Sincerely,

    We have been dealing with MediCredit Corp in regards to a miscommunication with our daughter who is on my insurance. We began getting calls for this company then paid a settlement and it was concluded. My daughter is still getting calls from them and now, one of my younger sons, who is in no way connected to his sisters billing issue, has gotten at least one phone call asking for his sister in regards to her bill. His number is in no way connected to his sister, there is no record or reference to his number on any documents dealing with his sister, and somehow, MediCredit found his number and thought it was a good idea to call his number, which is supposedly in their system listed to ANOTHER woman, who we do not know. SO HOW DID THEY find out my sons phone number, decide to call a number which was once listed to another person, and ask for my daughter on that number? I would suspect there are laws that were broken which are on the federal level and dealing with the ***, *** and a few other agencies. I will be continuing to investigate this and make this a formal issue against MediCredit Corp.

    I believe I was in the hospital in May 2024 and I started making payments to ******** credit soon as I got out of the hospital every 2 weeks I sent $25. They began to call me regarding sending them a payment. I told them my payment is not late I never made any payment arrangements with you and I'm not understanding why you're calling me. if I'm making payments on my own you have no right to call me and I'm paying $50 per month. They begin badgering me saying that this is a recording line and they are collecting a debt. I told them doesn't make me any difference what you're trying to do. I made no arrangement. You are receiving money from me do not call me. I send 50 dollars a month. A representative call me and told me I hadn't made a payment since December I told her. This is January the 12th Its not even 30 days behind. I made no arrangement with you. You have no right or reason to contact me. I also told them they were harassing me and I asked to speak with the supervisor he was nasty and told me to contact the better Business bureau his name is **** ******.

    I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because:  this company did nothing but harass me they were getting money from me and never once did they checked that file to see that they were getting paid on both accounts $50 a month.  Medi credit  representatives contacted me several times everyday while I was making payments. Medi credit Never stated I needed to set up payments with them.  Or that I needed to stop the payments until I made arrangements to what they wanted.  When I spoke to the supervisor he tried to make me set up payments with him and I told him no. I told him it was total harassment. I was making payments and you had no problem taking my money why are you calling me.  The more money you send the representative meets their quota for the month.  Statements like this is a recorded line and we are here to collect the debt I was making payments.  Their goal was to put fear and bully me. That is harassment. I stated to the supervisor you are harassing me because I am making payments. He was so sarcastic and cocky with his comments He told me to contact the better Business bureau and I told him that's exactly what I'm going to do because you're not going to make me do something that I know I don't have to do. The first representative that I spoke with knew she was wrong for contacting me. She apologized after I told her that I have been making payments. Every month.  She put me in touch with the supervisor.  He only wanted to make me set up payments.  I asked him who was his supervisor he told me to contact the better Business bureau.

    Complaint: 22806282

    I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because:  Medicare  stated that they are sorry for any confusion I'm not confused about anything.  I was harassed by their employees calling me two times a day every week.  I would answer my phone. I would inform them that I was making payments and they continue to call me. I even went as far as to ask them to take me off of their do not call list they continue to call. having my phone ringing off the hook at my job even on my off days calling me. I was making payments not on one but two of the accounts that I have.   you have no right to do that.  Is that what your policy and procedure states that you're supposed to be doing I don't think so.   You didn't check your files to make sure that I wasn't making payments.  If you had you would not have called me.   Tell the truth you have harassed ****** didn't check that I don't have to make payments arrangements with you as long as I'm making a payment that's all that matters you know it and your policy and procedure knows that so I don't know why you're pretending this though you did the right thing and if your policy and procedure allows you to arrest people or make up a little people or try to make them feel like you're going to come after them and take their money then that's what your policy procedure means I don't stand for that.

    Medicredit has been harassing me about a medical debt for ************************* that is not mine. They have called frequently at all times of the day even after being told that the person they are looking for does not and has never owned my phone number.

    Monday, December 23rd, at 9:30am I received a call from Medicredit. The *** stated that this was a debt collection involving Memorial Health Lung & Sleep. I advised the *** that I have never been to that facility. SHE PROMPTLY HUNG UP THE PHONE.Again, I have never been to Memorial Health Lung & Sleep, therefore I've never received a bill from them. IF Medicredit is a legitimate business, why did I not receive a collections letter from them prior to them calling me? Apparently, Medicredit was attempting to get money from me that I do not owe.

    Medicredit keeps contacting me about a bill that was previously paid to the hospital.
