Complaint narrative:
I have attached a copy of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau order of 2015 pertaining to the collection process on medical debts. This federal agency has levied millions in penalties against several medical collection agencies for abusive collection practices since the 2015 mandate that consumers must be granted 180 days-notice that any or all medical debts can not be posted against a consumers credit report. What this entails is that I as an American consumer needs time to either settle a medical collection before said collection gets posted on my credit report, or that my medical insurance carrier had enough time to resolve the collection either in full or by any sustained factoring agreement in place with the medical servicer, be it a physician, clinic, ambulance service or hospital. That has not been the case in the attached medical collection ( s ) posted on XXXX, XXXX and Trans Union respectfully. Since the 2015 agreement between the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and all three credit reporting agencies, medical collection agencies have violated this agreement in its entirety. Having established that there is a specified procedure in place on medical collection postings on a consumers credit, it is a fact that most if not all medical collectors are in violation of their subscriber agreement with the major credit reporting agencies. Since my rights have already been violated by the collection agency stated in this complaint, the collection should be VOID completely. I am not disputing any factual conclusion if I was even given medical attention, just stating that my personal credit history has been damaged by an unlawful collection practice. I should be entitled to damages for the overall cost involved with what would otherwise be a perfect credit history. Accordingly, I respectfully request for the disputed medical collection ( s ) to be deleted permanently, and if this particular collection agencies needs a remedy for collection, it has abused the credit reporting system by violating my rights. In my opinion the only recourse at this time would be moving forward through other collection processes outside of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The disputed collection must be deleted permanently, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau must sanction and fine the agency for its abusive actions. The credit reporting agencies should also terminate the subscriber agreement if place. My dispute is based on material facts and current policies on medical collections. The attached disputed collection ( s ) should be deleted permanently without any right to reinsert from this point forward.
