I received a bill from - - - Hospital on - for $100.00, since that was my emergency room co-pay with - after what they contributed, which I promptly paid. That was the end of that. At least, until the morning of -/-/15 when I received a call from CMRE Financial Services stating I owed $130.00. This was complete news to me as for over 2 1/2 years I heard nothing more about this. They informed me that - - - - - sold them my case back on -/-/13. That they 've sent notices to - of my addresses and interest had been accumulating on it.

Red flag number 3 : the tests that CMRE said were performed on me never were as the machine was broken and there 's a record of that.

And when I called - - - Hospital, they said they 're not based out of there and there was no way to reach them ( except by a lead on a phone number that does n't seem to be working ). Turns out it 's a scam and CMRE was complicit in insurance fraud and bilking me on interest charges on a charge that never existed nor was I notified of.
