I received a call from this agency. Do not talk to them. They are fraud. I checked with the hospital and I do not have any outstanding bills. I haven't been to this hospital in a long time. What so weird about this is that I  haven't received in any late notices or bills. They just want your personal info.

They called  me and I asked who and why they were calling and the lady said to identify myself, I once again asked why they are calling and she hung up on me.

As another person said, it's from Medi-Credit.  I didn't answer, but googled the number first, then called the number back.  I do not owe this business any money and I'm not behind on the couple of loans I've paying on.  I did get calls several months ago saying I owed a hospital in my town, and I told them I hadn't been at that hospital since 1984 and that bill was paid years ago.  One time they actually gave me the name of the person they were meaning to call, and I was not that person.  A few different callers said they would fix the issue.  It's not me, so I'm not going to do anything else.

Not going to do anything, so you like getting the calls?  Further, you like not giving them the opportunity to pay you big bucks for the harassment?  You can take the advice on page 6 of this thread or ignore it and expect more calls.  Your choice.

harassing calls

Called me at 10:51 AM EST 11/19/2016.  Caller ID just said Toll Free Call.  A woman just said Hello on my voicemail but left no further message.

Keeps calling the texting/phone app number I downloaded so I looked it up and see you guys saying it's a medical bill collector, only I don't have any outstanding medical bills and I've only had the app for a few weeks.... they never leave a message

MEDI-CREDIT keeps calling me too.  This is a medical bill that I have already disputed and mailed them all the information on.  I signed an agreement with the hospital to make monthly payments of $100 for 24 months and after paying 14 of those 24 payments ($1,450.)  The hospital turned me over to a collection agency when I kept my word on the contract and the hospital waited until I only owed $625.  So much for having any trust in the Metropolitan Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, Texas.

This # has called me twice in two days.  Thing is, it's collection agency for a med center.  I haven't been hospitalized in 2 1/2 years and my bills were ALL paid after I was home.  I have gotten NO notices for outstanding medical bills in all that time and now a collection agency is calling me???  I am not speaking with them on the phone.  Send me something in black and white so I know what in the heck I'm dealing with!

Exactly!  Same thing happened to me!

Number tried calling but got blocked. I have the 800 area code blocked.

Just so others can research for themselves....

You must be trying to refer to the FDCPA. That's the Fair debt collection practices act.

I think while you may be correct about not being called by recording without your advance permission, I am not sure that the FDCPA is the law that covers that.  If I were looking for a hint on which law contains those provisions, I would look at the frequently asked questions or similar sections of the FCC (Federal communications commission) web site.

Hope that this helps

I kept getting calls from this number and finally answered just to see who was calling. Medi-credit automated message for another person, I chose option 4 that the calls were in error and no more calls.

calls over and over again. We don't answer not provided calls.

I just want these calls to stop. I have already paid my bill to the clinic, right after they turned it over to them.

There are numerous posts in this thread that tell you how to make the calls stop.  I've made two of them, and CWG40 has made one as well.  You can easily make those calls stop, all you have to do is take the time to learn what you should already know about debt collection and use the law that was written to protect you to your advantage. ©

Yep, its MediCredit all right. They started calling me about six weeks ago, even before they sent me a written "bill." Like others, I don't answer their calls. Two weeks ago I finally got a written bill and I responded -- in writing -- that I am stilll disputing the bill with the provider and I "hope they will be patient." This morning? Another phone call. Maybe nobody there is literate enough to read and write.

[***]. I answered a guy says hello then hangs up. Don't waste my time with this bs.

I am currently paying the hospital and these people are calling me. I don't think that's legal. How can they collect on a bill the hospital is accepting payments for??
