I received a call from this company claiming to be collecting a debt from Women's and Kid's Hospital LLC. They mention in the call, if we received a letter from them. I have paid all my hospital bills in full. They have stolen phone numbers and names from some hospital visit. This is most likely a scam and fraud.

Medicredit has the worst customer service and they continue to hang up on me. I was faithfully paying on a medical bill and was referred to Medicredit. I disputed the fact I was even sent to collections and when I contacted Medicredit, I was told that I owed the amount and needed to pay. I very much doubt that my dispute was communicated correctly to the Medical Center of Aurora. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, the call was terminated.

Received a letter today from them claiming I owe them/a hospital about $600 which is not true. They also claimed they've tried to mail me and call me but didn't get a hold of me which IS another lie as I've never heard of these people before. I did back in 2013 have some hospital bills that when unpaid for a long time as all my medical expenses are covered by the VA and the VA takes years to get around to paying them off. And just this last year the VA finally cleared the last one up so I know all my past medical bills were all paid off.

But this company is trying to say they were not paid and from what other people have said about them they seem to have a habit of falsely claiming a debt is owed and even taking money from people and not clearing up the debt that it's claiming to be for. Even to pretend I owe that debt I still will not do business with these people as they clearly are not a trustworthy company and any money you give them will just be a loss. Also this is nowhere on my credit record and hasn't been since I started to monitor it 2 years ago so again it is just a fraudulent attempt to steal from me.

I had an account with Medicredit that need paid. I mailed them a check for $1000. Come to find out my account was sold to a different agency. I tried contacting Medicredit to find out what happened to my payment. The rep answering the phone could not tell me. They took my info and said a manager would call me back. I have never received a callback and every time I call Medicredit I get a different story. I also contacted the hospital the bill was with and they never received the money.

I wrote Medicredit a letter with all my information and a copy of my canceled check proving they cashed my check. This all started back in September of 2018. To this day I have never received a call back despite the fact I have called about 15 times and mailed a letter. It appears they are trying to steal $1000 from me. I feel sorry for anyone who has to deal with this company. Just because they are a collection agency doesn't give them the right to be such a dishonest company.

I told them that I could only afford to pay a minimal amount per month. No problem. They said I have to pay it on my own, they do not do auto withdrawals and or a statement as a bill. I asked for a letter of agreement in regards to the payment amount and was it they could not do that or send me any type of receipt showing that payment was done. I sent them a letter stating all this (you can't email them anything, their website is for making payments only) and that I refused to make any payments till I have heard from them. I have not!

In 2017 my newborn was taken to the ER where she later past. We had a bill with the hospital that we were making monthly payments on and then for some reason the account was moved to Medicredit, a debt collector. They called to inform me of a discount I could get (50%) if I paid the settlement amount right away. I called back a few days later to pay this amount, then the next day I received a call from the individual who had helped me saying they had accidentally charged me the full amount... Not the settlement amount. He informed me that I would receive a credit for the amount I was overcharged. I called back a couple days later to see when I would be receiving this credit. This individual said to allow 7-14 business days.

I called back several more times to see where the credit was in the process because I had bills I was not able to pay because of their mistake. After calling back 3 or 4 times, talking with supervisors, I was informed that Medicredit wasn't the one that would be issuing the credit, it would be the hospital and I should get with their billing department. So I called them and they informed me that Medicredit had sent the payment to the wrong department and they hadn't set up the credit correctly. So I would need to call back in a week to see where they were in the credit process. I am not at all happy with the service of Medicredit. It is like pulling teeth trying to get this money back.

After being in the hospital for stroke-like symptoms, my family and I paid over $3,000 for the facilities fee. Now I am getting harassed by this debt collector every day saying I have not paid it! This has been going on for over three years now. It's like they think they can milk me for money for the rest of my life, even after I paid it off once. I'm not asking for free things, I already paid over three grand, and they still can't produce an itemized bill or anything showing what I have paid. They wrote it off once, after I wrote a letter with proof I paid, and documentation of what the contracted rate with my insurance is, which I've already paid over. They stopped for a little while, then started harassing me non-stop again. I just want to get rid of my phone so this disgusting company can't call me all day long!

This company called my cellphone to try to collect on medical bills for my adult daughter that does not live with me. She is 25 years old and pays her own bills. This "collection agent" was giving me information on what doctor and when my daughter had visited that doctor. She has not given permission for me to know anything about her medical care. We have had the doctor for years, but she's on her own now. I do not know why they would have contacted me or given me information. When I stopped them to tell them that this debt is hers and that if they said any more they would violate HIPAA, but they did not care about HIPAA and continued to press me to pay her bills. I refused.

It appears that they may have gotten information that they should not have and if they contact me again, I will be asking for information to sue them. I know collection agents need to be tough, but the way this person was acting, made it clear that they were not a legitimate company. They should have stopped when I informed them that the debt did not belong to me. If anything is owed, it will be paid directly to the doctor. I have discussed this with my daughter, and she will not work with this company and will work only with the doctor.

Was contacted by Ms. ** from MEDICREDIT, INC. on May 17, 2018 about an outstanding balance of $38.08. I made the payment over the telephone and was told it was accepted. Then the following month, I received another telephone call to pay the same invoice. I told the representative that this was already paid. She said they have no proof of this payment, and she will mail me out an envelope with instructions on what to show (my HSA bank statement showing it was debited). I asked for their email address, and was told that they don't have one. She said to fax over proof, and I said, I don't carry a landline, and therefore can't fax over my statement of proof.

Now this morning, after speaking to the 3rd representative, she told me to go to a local supermarket and pay to use their fax machine to prove once again to them that I paid this invoice, that should've been paid by the insurance company right from the start. I would certainly be interested in any class action lawsuit, against this terribly inept collection agency.

I had a horrible experience with Medicredit after my daughter had an automobile accident and was treated at Research Hospital. The hospital bills were in limbo pending an insurance settlement but they bullied me incessantly. In spite of the fact that an insurance company was paying the bill, they kept calling me on my cell phone. Even my insurance agent was stunned by their ineptness. They could never give us factual information, they never even knew if checks were received and they refused to let me speak to a manager.

In spite of the special circumstances of the incident, they reported me to the credit reporting agencies and gave me a bad credit rating. Finally I contacted the hospital directly and they were very understanding and more than happy to settle it with me and the insurance company. They were never notified of my circumstances - even though the representatives of Medicredit said they were communicating with the hospital. It became very clear, that their goal was collecting as much money as they could, even collecting money that was not warranted and they did not want to work with a patient at all!

I broke my ankle in Jan of 17. Paid faithfully to hosp to get my (very much too high) copay paid off but started getting duplicate bills from a company I knew nothing about. Turns out to be Medicredit. Started getting dunning calls from them even tho I was paying the hospital. Gave them no info - no fool. The reps badmouthed me about being a deadbeat. Called the hosp billing dept and was automatically routed to Medicredit phone tree. Finally got a human. Asked for a statement. "We don't do that." = NO. She did finally give me a balance - but wanted me to give her a credit card number then and there, no discussion. I refused.

Upshot: I owe them about $149.23. They will get that amount. Any further contact from them to me will result in a lawsuit. They smell crooked, sound crooked, and behave crooked. If I find out that I have overpaid, there will be a lawsuit. What kind of credit company won't send a statement - and the only receipt you get only shows the payment by return email? Crooked.

Medicredit contacted me to collect an alleged debt from a hospital. They refused to discuss the issue unless I first provided DOB and SSN. I declined to give this information over the phone to an unknown agency, but I requested an itemized bill, which they agreed to provide. The next call was a few weeks later and when I asked about the bill (which I had not received) they said it wasn't their responsibility. When I wouldn't give them my DOB and SSN over the phone, they hung up and then filed negative reports on my credit.

I receive regular calls asking for confidential identification info. before they discuss the matter. As soon as I decline to give them the info they hang up. The debt they're claiming has not been established and yet they have damaged my credit rating. They have failed to provide the documentation they agreed to and expect me to compromise the security of my identity. I see no reason to cooperate with them. The damage they have done was inflicted maliciously as retaliation for not knuckling under to their unsubstantiated claims and unreasonable requirements.

I went to MoBap on multiple occasions this past Spring. I had issues every time with their registration department to the hospital and Arrhythmia Center, each time having to provide all of my personal information to "update their systems". Here it is November and I receive a call from Medicredit. I call back and get Charles on the phone to figure out who and why they are calling me since I have not received any bills, notices, mail, email or phone since April when I last visited the hospital (assuming insurance took care of it since I gave them my insurance information each time).

I go through providing my information to him - even though I am currently questioning this entire call as it is completely out of the blue. He advises me that the address he has on file is my childhood home that has not been a current address of mine my entire adult life (I am 35) and has no family ties in the last decade. He gives me excuses in a condescending tone as to why they would have that old address on file as current, despite my insurance and Driver's License and all other documentation having my current address present to match the information I provided the hospital on each call. He was not productive, not respective or courteous in any definition of the word. He treated me like less a person than I would treat any human (especially when I represent my place of employment and am handling business) especially considering all of the personal information I had to provide him just to find out what company/charges Medicredit was handling.

I put a lot of faith in him and his company from the moment I entered conversation with him, as I was not allowed to confirm, but required to provide my personal information in order to speak to him (name, addresses, phone number, etc). I ended up hanging up on him and will further handle any communication and business online unless there is another representative I am able to deal with. I will not entertain 1 more second of my time to hear his voice after the way he made me feel on the phone. I did request a mailer to my address after updating my account with my current address and will wait to review documentation regarding the charges and then will handle settling any charges necessary.

In June 2017 when I initially received a letter from Medicredit notifying me of an outstanding bill with Research Medical Center I immediately called to find out how they received the file when it was in dispute with Research. I called and spoke to a representative at MediCredit and was told they have the file and payment was due. I asked how my file was sent to their office when it was in dispute and the rep. told me if I wanted to dispute the charge then I could with their office. I never received a letter from MediCredit stating my file was out of dispute and in September it was sent to credit reporting. I have tried calling to get this resolved informing them I never received a letter stating my file was out of dispute.

The representatives are very unprofessional and do not solve any problems. The managers are never there to solve the problem.

My family doctor and I decided that I needed to see a specialist for my medical problem. The specialist decided that I needed IV infusion therapy to treat the problem, which is the standard care protocol for my condition. I called my insurance company to confirm that the necessary care would be covered for me with little to no out of pocket cost at the facility that the specialist recommended, it is a fully covered benefit of my insurance with only minimal copay/deductible amounts due from me, the patient.

I did receive medical services at this facility with a competent doctor, nice nurses and professional staff. The claim was billed to my insurance. My insurance company processed the claim according to my benefits and said "we did not pay all or some of this claim... but you are not responsible to pay." Since I have experience with insurance companies, due to my own personal long and complicated medical history, I viewed the statement from the insurance company and filed it because the denial reasoning is supposed to be interpreted by the provider as correct the claim and resubmit if you think this should be paid according to your contract with us or write it off if you know that you're not supposed to get paid for this service.

Fast forward six (6) months from the date of service and this account is showing on my credit report. I called Medicredit. I wrote Medicredit. I called the hospital. All with no effective results. I have been given answers like the claim is still under review (4 months later) or the person that was working on your issue is no longer in that area. I called my insurance, and they confirmed that there had been no new claim activity and that based on the information submitted, I am not financially responsible for the amount Medicredit is aggressively trying to collect from me. This company is calling me, sending me letters and adversely affecting my ability to navigate the financial world, for a bill I don't owe. I have now written the hospital and all credit bureaus about this extraordinary collection activity for a bill that is not my responsibility. I am frustrated, my credit is negatively impacted and I'm paying higher interest rates because no one is resolving the issue.

I had an emergency and was unemployed so it got turned over to MC. They called and set up auto bank drafts of $50 which was really more than I could afford but had no choice. They said they would make four payments and then call me to reevaluate my ability to pay more. Instead of calling they took the fourth payment and then reported it to the credit bureau. They said they mailed statements but they did not. I never heard from them except to see the bank drafts in my account. St. Mary's goes along with it so you are stuck.

I myself have been dealing with Medicredit. Received a hospital bill for a trip to the ER for the amount of $1168.00. I sent a payment of 500.00 and waited for another statement which I'm not sure if I received one or not but I don't recall getting one. Anyway I did end up receiving one from Medicredit which I immediately called and made arrangements to make monthly payments with them until paid. I kept my end of the deal and then when I was down to owing them just 268.00 I mistakenly sent a final payment of 318.00 which I am still waiting for the return of my overpayment. While making my monthly payments they did go ahead and put this "derogatory" account in the credit bureaus which hurt my scores significantly and have yet to mark this account paid at least.

It has not been quite 30 days yet since paid but I did call them while paying them and questioned them on whether they would remove this account from the bureaus once paid since it was a medical bill and they very rudely said that they would not! I have yet to receive any statement confirming that it is paid. There is no way to contact them via website or when you call you just get automated phone service. Very frustrating. Also in hindsight after checking with my insurance co, it looks like I may not have even had to pay this bill. It was originally viewed as an out of network provider which the ins co negotiated and I should not have had to pay the balance. But now they are investigating this bill again because I explained to them that this provider was in network which means someone will have to reimburse me all the money I paid but what about what it cost me as far as my credit score? Who fixes that?

I went on the FTC website after reading all of these complaints and on this site there is a way that people can file complaints. If enough people file complaints then this company can be made to answer for their unscrupulous and unlawful practices. I'm just not sure how do we inform the masses and get enough people to lodge their complaints with the government so this company can be made to answer? Any information that you use in filing a complaint with the FTC remains completely confidential.
