Sent me a statement that I owe almost $600 that I don't owe. Pretending to be associated with a hospital

They are leaving multiple pre-recorded messages about an important business matter/bill, claiming to be associated with the medical field.

Saying I owe over $500.00 but they can't show details of what I owe the money for. Scam going on at Duncan Regional Hospital.

leaves messages about owing a medical debt which I don't owe.. claims to be collecting for Duncan Regional Hospital

Says they are with Duncan Regional Hospital. They need to speak to me about an important business matter. Wanted me to verify my address and date of birth.

Trying to collect on a bill from duncan regional hospital I paid over 2 years ago and have the receipt, this is a scam. Somehow they've stolen patients phone numbers hoping to get a sucker to give them $, don't fall for it.

I almost gave them my information, luckily my phone cut off in time. I looked up the number and I see that it’s a scam.

They keep calling and leaving voicemails but I see it's a scam! Block their numbers!

The 3rd party billing company for Duncan (OK) Regional Hospital.

All of the information that I find indicates that this is a doctor's/medical practice and not a billing company or debt collector.

Laciee the collector stated that I owe a credit card debt of $991 from 2014. She had my name, address and social security number. I confirmed that was my information. She said I had a credit card that I didn't completely payoff and they are the 3rd party collection agency. I asked her to email me the documents so I could lóok at my signature to confirm it. I also told her I didn't want to go to court and I would settle. She put me on hold and when she came back she said she spoke to the creditor and that they could take $300 off of what I owe. I asked her what they said about  giving me the information of what I bought and my signature for the credit card. She said they don't have that to give me because I ordered the credit card online with only my name, address and social security number. Who allows someone to open an account without income requirements. She told me everything would be in the paperwork they will be serving me with. Now I'm wait and then if it makes it my credit score I will have file an appeal.

The fake process server extortion attempt usually consists of the following:

They mention that they have received a Fax document or some sort of complaint and that there is a pending legal matter or action about to filed against you to create the sense of urgency.  They tell you that they are a “process server” and cannot give you the particulars of the case since the file is sealed. This is simply ruse to get you to call another number (often with a made-up case number) where they will ask for money to “make it go away” (this is actually the same place, they work in teams, one pretending to be the server, and the other usually pretends to be a lawyer).  They threaten to serve you at home or at work.  They tell you that if they serve you at work then they will need a supervisor, security, or HR person there as a witness, hoping that will cause you to panic over the alleged embarrassment of being served at work.  They also tell you that you will need two forms of ID.  None of which is true.  Process servers do not ever call ahead so that you can dodge them.  Process servers get paid to serve papers, nothing else.  They certainly are not going to pass up a paycheck by telling you that you can avoid being served, they are not going to give you an extra day or even a few hours to get a “stop order”.  Court documents are time sensitive and must be served within a certain amount of time.  Remember that you can always call the local courthouse to see if there really is a lawsuit that has been filed against you.

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.  

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked 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 of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.  If and when you get that letter you should immediately send that debt validation letter by certified, return receipt mail.

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file complaints with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.
