By definition EXPERIAN has committed identity theft. This is a violation of 15 US Code 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) and information associated with XXXX XXXX MUST BE REMOVED.

Consumer complaint received 2022-09-09 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Consumer Adjustment Company Incorporated
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
The debt collection agency told me I owed {$4200.00} ( around that amount to my doctors office ). That amount lined up approximately with my portal amount. I reached out directly to the debt collection agency to settle the amount. They said if I could pay {$3800.00} out of my checking account today they would settle the debt. I said okay. 

When I went to my doctors appointment today they were like do you want to be put on a payment plan? I was like what I just paid the debt collections agency in full. Long story short the debt collections agency lied about the amount owed and falsely lead me to believe my account was settled. When in fact my doctors office only sent {$3700.00} to collections and the rest were made up fees of approx {$500.00}. I paid the bill as soon as I got it in the mail and from the checking account. They falsely claimed the fees were funds I owed to XXXX for medical bills. When I learned of this she was rude and said there was nothing I could do this was paid.
