Its Gragil.....a collection agency

Gragill is a debt collection agency.  Our law office gets their collection letters on a regular basis because our clients are injured, out of work and cannot (yet) pay their medical bills.  They are relentless.  They call us every 3 months asking if the case has settled and if there is any money in it for them.  I have gotten to the point where I tell them if they want to know about the case they can go to the courthouse and get the records.  I'm too busy to deal with them - or they can file a claim in court for the money.  If they don't file a claim, they snooze and loose. I dislike vultures and that is what these people are.

Yes I do have outstanding medical bills!
in todays world who doesn't.
I refuse to deal with collection angencies.
I have payment arrangements directly witht he hospitals or MD.
When this angeny called ( or others) I always ask them to send me proff of the debt with a CURRENT BALANCE owed.  
THEY NEVER DO!
The custormer Service (HA HA) department is very rude and threatening.
AND YES The bills DO and HAVE BEEN reported to my credit scores,
even one that is just 90 days past due
(with payment arrangements already made!)

Now I never answer the phone unless I know the number calling.  
The caller NEVER leaves a message.

BTW one of the accounts they were calling about ..was in process with my insurance angency. The hospital made an error in fileing it.  
I had begun making payments, and then I RECEIVED A $60.00 Check form the hospital for an overpayment as the insurance paid in full..... I am still getting calls and letters from the collection agency and have places a notice with my credit report.

This is where it comes from:

Insurance paid my bills. Go away and don't bother me. Doesn't leave a message. But I read the above.

When you contact a debt collection agency and tell them sol is over it actually starts the sol again ad you have acknowledged the debt.

Totally INCORRECT! The only way the clock on a time-barred debt is reset is if the debtor makes a payment. Acknowledgement of the debt does not reset the clock either. This is why a debt collection firm was once severely penalized when they claimed a payment had been made when, in fact, they had tried to credit the account fraudulently.
Be Safe. Be Aware.

Got a call didn't answer no message but it said united states thought that was weird cause I have never had that come up

Called them back and they didn't know who I was and said it was a wrong number they must of called

I have received about 9 or 10 calls from a 1-877-6529 supposably regarding a personal business matter. I spoke to a girl that said her name was Marquita Miller . Marqita proceeded to give me an a name and address for somebody that she was looking for proceeded trying to get information from me regarding this person  and all she could tell me was that the name of the company was CDE and they were there located in Iowa. As we were speaking I heard a bunch of laughter in the background while I asked to speak with the manager.  The guy who got on the phone said he was the manager and that his name was Scott Loux. I would please like to know more about what this socall company is I have already made a call to the police and will be contacting BBB regarding this matter

This number calls all the time and never leaves a message.   Why don't they get a real jobl

Called my cell phone and left a message asking for Sylvia So-and so (not me) saying if you are not this person to please hang up.  Naturally I listened to the rest of the message, what the heck, they are the ones who called me.  If it's so confidential they should get the phone # right.  It then said if you are Sylvia please go to a private area to listen to the message, then said something about a debt owed and to please call back.  Great, Sylvia probably gave them my # and now they will call all the time.  Hopefully it was just a misdial.  It's Gragil (or something like that) collection agency in Pembroke, MA.  What morons, calling the wrong #.  

Graygil Associates is attempting to collect a debt from my 17 year old that has yet to establish credit wether good or bad. Where are they getting folks name from.

I just looked up the statues in my state after 6 years the debt is void unless from a legal issue or bank and in those cases it is 20 years either way each state has its own laws so maybe before you give people advice you should know what you are talking about also in my state debt collectors have to take any payment you offer even if it is only $1 and if you get prof they refused any payment no matter how little then you don't have to pay them at all

They are calling and harassing my boyfriends 75 year old grandmother but I don't live there I never have and also have never used her number on anything they are parasites that's all they are wish I could get their home number and call them like they call her

Really?  I don't know where you looked but here is the list of SOL by state and is see none that have a 20 year limit.
http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/statut ... hart-29941.html

Please quote the state law you are referring to about having to accept a payment as I would certainly like to read it.  Further, the original question and answer was not about how long the SOL is but on resetting it.

For someone looking for help, attacking a respected member here is not going to earn you any brownie points.

Huh???

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
