United Consumers Inc Debt Collection Complaint

United Consumers Inc Debt collection department,

Other (phone, health club, etc.) Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed Debt is not mine District of Columbia

I was contacted by - - at United Consumers Incorporated ( ucicollects.com ) in - 2015 about a purported debt of $130.00 that I had with a medical provider. As I explained to -, that matter was bogus as the provider had erred on a previous procedure and asked me back for a redo, explicitly stating that there would be no charge for that redo. After speaking with -, within days, I finally succeeded in getting that bogus charge removed. I e-mailed the company with my account reference number at -- about this being resolved, and never heard back from UCI ... for a while. Incidentally, in - 2015 I received an invoice from that provider showing that I owed nothing. On - -, 2015, I received another phone call from - about this purported debt, and he indicated no awareness that we had discussed this a few months earlier. ( At that time, I was n't sure if he was the person whom I 'd spoken to in -. He said nothing when I told him that I 'd spoken with someone and did n't know if it was him or not. ) He asked me if I wanted


money from me in - for a debt that they were told I owed, it is inexcusable that they would call me months later to receive payment for a debt '' that even the provider had long acknowledged I did n't owe. Moreover, doing so - telling me that I owed money which I did not - was IN VIOLATION of 28-3814 ( f ) ( 5 ) of - Code. Apart from the annoyance of harassment, my bigger concern has been a collections agency affecting my credit rating. I e-mailed - and the company about this on - -, 2015, including a scan of the provider 's original assertion that I would not be charged for that procedure and also a scan of the - invoice showing that that provider was requesting not one penny from me ( he had cited the same figure of $130.00 that he had cited in -, so it obviously was now resolved though he incompetently did n't confirm this before harassing me over the phone while I was at work ). On - -, I e-mailed the company at the -- address with my account reference number. I also called their phone number and left a message to alert them to all of this. I followed-up with another e-mail on - -, noting that I had already begun investigating legal action and became aware of that section of the - code that they had unquestionably violated in harassing me by asserting that I owed money which I did not owe. On - -, I still had not heard from them with any assurance that they wold back off and that my credit rating would not be affected by any of this. Today is - - and I still have heard nothing. It has been three weeks since I last received communication from the company, when they insisted that I owed money and tried to have me pay it to them when I in fact owed nothing to that provider and had n't for months.
