I had several ************ items done through *******************************. ALL bills and Explanations of Benefits (EOB) Had came in "somewhat of a timely manner" North shore Pathologist **** came but no EOB? I had called them to insure they had my Insurance information, Gave it to them again! On 12 Sept. 2023 I received a letter in Oct.2023 from Oliver Adjustment *** requesting payment? I told them that I never got an EOB from my insurance company and they never sent the bill to them? AGAIN gave the collection agency my insurance info. TOLD them I would pay the bill based on what my insurance company shows me to owe. The total bill is $767.91, my deductible $3,000 was nearly met if not totally met. I called several times to my insurance company asking if they had received anything A.) NO. I asked them to follow up with the pathologist, and they did. and still nothing! Nov and Dec. of 2023 I began receiving phone calls and a letter from OAC, threatening me for payment I AGAIN said it needed to be submitted to my ins. *** We are now in Oct. 2024 and I noticed this bill placed against my credit report. Called collection company and was lied to, stating their records showed I did not want this to go to my insurance *** as my deductible was too high to cover it anyway? Total amount of "billed" from this procedure was $4,640.65, with this bill added. ALL bills matched up to my ***'s and were paid, with the exception of this one, as there was no EOB! Based on my deductible this bill most likely would have been paid in FULL by my insurance company, had they submitted it! I am now being told by my insurance company that they reached out again to have it submitted, but most likely won't pay anything on it as it is over 1 year?!! In summary North shore did NOT do as hey should have, and Oliver **** as well did NOT follow through for payment and now ( in my opinion) unlawfully put this against my, what was an "Excellent" credit rating! I am asking to investigate. Thank you!Business Response

We have reviewed this matter with North Shore Pathology, for which company we are attempting to collect this debt. The services had been provided to Mr. Koga on April 17, 2023. On May 30, 2023, Mr. Koga called our client and told them to list his account as a “self pay” account, meaning that he would pay the account himself and that North Shore was not to submit the claim to his insurance company.
We have had several communications with Mr. Koga since the account was listed with our company on August 24, 2023. We have advised him why the account was listed with our company and of the account status. We have noted his dispute of the debt with the credit reporting agencies to which we report.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID 22410650, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.At no time would I have told North shore pathologist (NSP) to submit the bill as "Self pay" I have over $4,640.65 of total bills from this procedure in which NSP, was involved! My ANNUAL deductible is/was $3,000 and was met well before their bill had ever been sent to me. ALL Bills matching the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) were paid with days of receipt. When I called NSP I had also called my insurance company with which they also Contacted them to insure they had the right address for submitting. It is to put it Bluntly A LIE that NSP, or OAC is stating I would have said this! They have (just prior to contacting the BBB) been once again asked to submit to my insurance company!

I had my second cancer surgery at ********** in *********, ** in 2022. In 2023 I started getting ****s from the Labs ****ing company. I was fully covered under ********* I noticed on the **** they were trying to **** ****************** instead of ********. I called them multiple times. I just kept getting different excuses. They told me that it would be ****ed correctly and would not go on my credit report. I checked again this year and it is on my credit report and dropped my score enough where I no longer qualify for my preapproval for a home loan. I have tried to contact them on multiple occasions and only get a recording. I am contacting a lawyer.Business Response

This is a collection agency attempting to collect a debt from 2022. I have never received any bill for this debt and have been provided no way to pay this debt from the original party who sent this bill to collections. This is the first I have been made aware of this outstanding debt was when I was sent to this agency. I have resided at my place of residence for almost a decade and have had my phone number and email for decades. I would have been happy to pay any amount owed if any reasonable attempt had been made to contact me prior to being sent to the agency. Since that time the bill has had additional fees added.I have already disputed this bill (as the agency recommended) with no remediation.Initial Complaint

I received a phone call today, December 5, 2023, from Oliver Adjustment Company attempting to collect a bill allegedly placed with them by a health provider in 2019. I have no clue what they are talking about and they will provide me with no other information. I have no bills from either the provider or this organization. I contacted the provider and they are having to dig into their records to figure out what OAC is talking about. They told me I'm aware of this because I was on their website. I did have an account placed there in 2022 and I did pay it, so yeah, I was on their website. All I want is to know what they're talking about and why they've not contacted me in four years. It feels shady to me since they will not give me any information.Business Response

I have no knowledge of this debt. I have not received any notice and have disputed it, yet it's still on my report. It is absolutely absurd to claim someone owes a debt and offer no form of alerting them. I've been completely blindsided by this remark on my credit and it's unethical to treat people like this. This remark needs to be removed as I have not been properly notified, nor do I claim this absurd supposed debt.Business Response

This is the incorrect address- I have not lived there since 2016. A debt that is sent to such a wildly wrong address cannot be accurate.

Good evening,
I am sorry that your call was not satisfactory. I have spoken to my employee and have given her some suggestions on how she could have handled this call. The accounts in our office do remain open for ********* Radiology Specialists. We show that they have been marked disputed per your request. Due to the Credit Bureaus new rule, they put in place for anyone furnishing to the credit bureau,the account for $324.00 was marked for removal as it is under $500. Although the account for $557.00 meets the new rule requirements, we have also put in a request for that account to be removed. Our collections manager did try to contact you on 4/3 to discuss your concerns, she left a voicemail. Please feel free to reach out to her at ************, her name is ******, and she would be happy to assist you.
