Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) starting calling me XX/XX/XXXX and have called everyday since, with exception of Sundays. They never leave a message. They have called sometimes twice a day using four different numbers which I have searched online and have come back with their information. 
Here are the numbers : - XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX - XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX - XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX - XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX I had answered one call from them, however they would not identify who they were and why they were calling without me verifying who I was, and I will not identify myself because of all the scams that are going around. Also, it is my understanding that they must identify who they are and why they are calling. 

I received a letter dated the XX/XX/XXXX, but the letter was not received until the XXXX, but they started calling on the 13th. It my understanding that they can not call you before the letter is received. 

My debt was originally through XXXX Hospital/XXXX. I had been in contact with them and made a {$30.00} payment to XXXX on Friday XX/XX/XXXX. I received the letter Saturday XX/XX/XXXX and was unable to contact either place of business because they were closed. XXXX called Saturday the XXXX at XXXX EST , which was XXXX their time. They close at XXXX on XXXX, which only gave me a window of 13 minute to call them back. Which I would have, if I had received the letter before that time. 

I called XXXX today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) to ask if my account had been transferred to XXXX and they had no knowledge of this and had not received word from the hospital to close the account. They were going to look into it and I am going to call them back tomorrow ( XX/XX/XXXX ) to find out what the outcome is. 

I then called XXXX today to explain the situation. They were trying to argue that they had purchased the account and that XXXX was lying to me and to not believe them. I tried to explain to them that I had just talked to XXXX  and paid them a {$30.00} payment Friday. They refused to listen to what I had to say and kept trying to argue with me that I didnt know what I was talking about and that XXXX was lying. They also tried to say that the debt was from XXXX, which technically it is, but that is after fighting with the hospital for three years to change a procedure code and I went from owing $ 4000+ to {$600.00}. 

I also told them I was going to report them to the XXXX because they were harassing me with phone calls which is illegal, along with not identifying who they were when asked. I told them to stop calling and they calling me another time today. 

They transferred me to a supervisor, which took 10 plus minutes and I feel I was just talking to the same person because she started with one accent and switched halfway through to the accent of the person I had originally talked too. 

I also told them that I couldnt afford their ridiculous payment plan which was either ~ {$200.00} for 3 months or a one lump sum of XXXX {$480.00}. They asked how much I could pay and I told them about {$30.00} a month and they asked if I wanted to set up a payment plan, I told them not until this confusion gets resolved and she hung up on me.
