800-300-7192

Thanks to everyone on here who just confirmed my suspicion, that this is a scammer call. 800-300-7192 just called, and I'm glad I ignored it and then checked on this site to see what's up. Saves me from dealing with these people and being hassled.

CFC is a subsidiary of Tenet Healthcare.  They are very shady and are actually driven to pressure people into paying debt.  However, they are untrained and do not really know insurance and will attempt to collect on things that a person is not responsible for.  They also do not fully research the debt before calling.

The staff at CFC is on productivity goals and some get enormous commissions for monies collected.

This agency started calling me last weekend trying to collect on a hospital charge. Problem is, I was never notified by mail or by verbal communication that I owed money for a deductibal fee. Im a Lupus patient & having to deal with this company is very stressful.

Thank you for this info.  I am logging and recording every detail of calls and letters.  I am in the process of suing these unscrupulous companies.  I have researched and learned the laws regarding debt collection.

Why do they keep calling & don't want to say anything please stop!!!!!!

it has been years since I paid off the large medical bills that I owed through Central Financial Control. Recently, I put a monitoring service on my credit report and today I got three hits on the report. It stated that Central Financial Control had report collections to the Credit Bureaus with zero balances. I called them to find out what was going on. The lady told me that they report every Wednesday on the accounts even through they are paid off. She said that this will happen for the period of seven years. Now I am wondering is this the reason why FICO scores fluctuate. Does anyone know if this is correct?

I don't know who this is, but good grief, I wish they'd lose my number. They're not calling constantly-yet, but when they do call, it's pretty insistent. I just don't answer because I don't know who it is.

you can also file a complaint with the STATE BANKING COMMISSION who over sees and regulates them and sets the collection laws. advise them you have told them not to call and they continue to contact you. the collector can be fined as well as the company.

Scumbag swindlers.
Recorded message promises a $625.00 credit on my next AT&T bill.
Do not even have any AT&T services of any kind.

I didn't answer. called 4 times and hung up. they are blocked.

also, we are not behind, when we moved into our home in 2007, the calls started for a Mr Anthony Smith. they stopped for a while but I think they rotate their numbers

They are a collection agency. If you tell them NEVER to call you again (whether its your bill or your dad's) They
CANNOT legally call you again. If they do, tell them you are reporting them to the "State Banking Commission"
who regulates them and the collector making the call and the company CAN be fined. I promise you, anytime
you tell a bill collecter of ANY kind this, they will never call again. I am a former collector- You (the collector) are
REQUIRED to know the collection laws.SO,  Know your rights. Look it up- they cannot call before or after a certain time.
they HAVE TO identify themselves to you as a collection agency, They CANNOT be harrashing, rude, cussing,
threatening, etc. Trick: be nice, get their name and company name THEN tell them you are reporting them. Good luck.

As a collection agency, by law, they CANNOT leave it on your voicemail. That is a violation of the FEDERAL
COLLECTION LAWS. That is because other people may get your messages and hear a collection agency
calling you. Same goes with anyone else other than YOU who answers the phone. Including calls to your
neighbors or employers. (ALL of which you can easily stop by telling them never to call any of them.

Make sure you file a complaint with the State Banking Commission. The collector AND the Company
will EACH be FINED.  Each offense is a stiff fine. Hours of calls, repeated calls when advised (especially in writing)
etc.

I get various calls from companies calming to be debt collectors attempting to collect. Look up this company on the BBB website,  it says they are no longer in service. They are rude, won't give you any information and make threats that they cannot make. Know your rights people.

They also collect on Arrowhead Hospital in AZ
Central Financial Control
Box 830913
Birmingham, AL 35283-0913

or

Box 66044

It is a debt collector -they say so - and they do ask for someone specific. I hit the "talk" button but did not respond to any prompts or say anything.

Per the # 800-300-7192 Number Guru says this number is 100% SPAM. It has also been said this number used to be Central Finantial but not any more. I would only give someone my last 4 # of my SS # if they want the whole thing there is a problem especially if they do not say who they are when u ask its.

Calls many times and leaves an automated message and sometimes a real human leaves a message about debt collection. Since there is no real debt to collect, I think it's more scam than anything else.

We pay off our bill of to them.   First payment of December/31/2015 of $50.00 the Second payment on Jan/ 4/2016 of $570.80
Central Financial charge our account on the second payment we did not authorize $ 620.80 we only authorize $570.80 which was an overpayment of $50.00 dollar they have not refunded us the $50.00 and because they make a mistake it is still show on our credit report as if they were not paid the Bill.
