I don't blame the collection agency, they were fine, went to the er, needed stitches and verified my ins with the hospital. Ins pd the hospital bill. Then 2 3/4 years later my parents get a call, im in collections for the drs services. Called collection, said that I needed to call the billing. Did they said they sent statements and they were returned. Wrong address. I said how come you didn't call, didn'thave the number. Well the hospital had that inf. then (this is good) they said we cant get that information from the hospital, WHAT? when you go in the hospital, they verify your information, and correct if need be. You don't give the drs information and the hospital separate. Any Ideas???? They won't take it out of collection and never sent it to the ins, which now is untimly filing.

Sorry already submitted but put months. It was years!!!
