Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.) False statements or representation Attempted to collect wrong amount Kentucky

I contact GLA collection company about a medical bill that was on my credit report. The bill and amount stated $38.00 and I was prepared to pay this amount, as I was in the process of getting a mortgage. When I was about to pay, the representative insisted that my amount was $61.00 with the interest. I informed them that I did not owe that amount and that I would pay the $38.00 but that it MUST be removed from my credit reports due to the mortgage review. I told them I did not count that in my budget and I could n't pay it yet but could pay the $38.00. They said if I only paid the $38.00 that it would remain on my credit report ( alternatively ruining my chances of getting a mortgage ) but if I paid the full amount of $61.00, they would remove it. They would n't even allow me to pay $38.00 and call back to pay the rest if I could. I had to pay non or all. I paid the $61.00 to get it removed in order to buy a house. There was no agreement to pay interest or even that I owed more than $38.00, except when they knew I was planning on paying. They even sent me an immediate receipt but it only stated that I paid $38.00, even though my account shows they removed the full $61.00. I could n't even get a correct receipt from them.
