The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

This is on my credit report for money I supposedly owe + $2, 997. I have no idea where this came from or who they are. The original creditor is AMC7. I cannot find out where or who this is. Needless to say it is in dispute!

I'm in if anyone wants to file suit. I've got 28 entries on my credit report from 12/20/2018 all for amounts starting from $37 up to $3, 500 with a total of $28, 000 that I "owe". only two of the entries make sense as they are from samaritan and albany med, but the others just have random codes. I've fixed the problem with the hospitals as they keep billing my old insurance instead of my current so that got fixed, but these guys are ruining my credit for life because they add a new entry every day.

I AM READY TO SUE THIS COMPANY PLUS ST MARY'S HOSPITAL IN TROY. I WAS COVERED UNDER NO FAULT BUT THE HOSPITAL FAILED TO BILL THE NO FAULT INSURANCE COMPANY A TIMELY MANNER SO THEY REFUSED TO PAY. THERE IS NO WAY THIS SHOULD BE MY PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN DENIED CREDIT AND PAID HIGHER THAN NORMAL FINANCE CHARGES NOW FOR FOUR YEARS. THEY STILL KEEP TAKING ME TO COURT I AM READY TO COUNTER SUE I'M SO FED UP WITH THIS.

Has anyone had any success in removing this from their reports? I've tried several times to dispute & they continue to come back not in my favor. I think this is for Ellis hospital, because I'm seeing a lot of medical here in this thread so i'm assuming, my code was ELL6? Its less than 600...I'm dumbfounded, the only thing I can think of was for a hospital visit for my son, who had full coverage too, we paid our co-pay because it wasn't an over night stay. I have no idea how to get this removed, the office refuses to speak w/ me unless I pay out some portion of this. Its insane.

Oh my goodness. I just dealt with these people today. I had 3 charges from several years ago when I was on Medicaid, and when I called to find out what the charges were, the woman who answered had no clue. After I told her the codes and amounts and dates of the three charges, she finally had some information.
She told me one of the charges came from a medical center that is permanently closed (Pegasus), and because of that, I could not dispute the charge, even though I can prove I had coverage by my insurance. Here's a ridiculous part, when I asked if I had any legal recourse to dispute the charge, she told me their paralegals would look over it ONLY if I offered to settle right now and pay 90% of the charge (the charge is $600). I am a full-time college student and cannot afford such things, so I said no.
I agree with several of the posters above; I'm not a guy who ever thought I'd sue someone, but this seems like it might be a case where I have to in order to get a fair resolution.

Checked my credit report and had a completely unknown charge for over 1000$ from this company. I did a google search and found this thread. Keep me updated if we do a class action lawsuit. Disputing and fixing my credit score now.

My husband was checking his credit score today and saw a collection for this same law office! He asked me what this could be(as I do the finances), we recently bought a house, so as you may think, we were very credit conscious prior to doing so . Anyway, we have no idea who the GSF8 is that we supposedly owe 2900$ to. I am curious if any of you have gotten satisfaction from these problems. We are just beginning and this doesn't look good. Thank you for any input.

I paid them $31.31 a few months ago with myself listed as the patient because I thought I must have overlooked a bill. Today I got a collection notice from them for $113.57 for my child who hasn't been to any Albany Med doctors for a year. I started to doubt if they were legit and found so many complaints that I'm mad for paying the $31.31 without investigating then!

My 16 year old daughter received a bill from AMC, for expenses our insurance did not cover. I agree we are responsible for the bill. Therefore, regular arrangements were made, regarding payments and being followed; to avoid collections or future issues. Despite the fact we have been making monthly payments, AMC center sent this bill to ORD, who is going after a 16 year old; 1. she is considered a minor by law, 2. her insurance is threw her father and he should have received the bill. The claims ### refuse to speak to us/ her parents, until she submits a letter to them, granting them permission to speak to us. She is a minor, by law and she is covered by insurance, under her parents, therefore the parents are liable for the bill. These people do not listen, do not care; they are uneducated, ignorant individuals attempting to collect debt; which is seems more glamours, than flipping a burger in their minds, I guess. If this goes on my daughters credit, I will be retaining my attorney and suing for any an all damages that occur, posing any and all future threat to her credit.

This company is full of frauds and bullies! Last October my husband was HIT BY A CAR WHILE WALKING. This is a no fault case. He was taken by ambulance to Samaritan Hospital...he asked to go to Ellis and they refused!

I provided both the hospital and the ambulance the lady's insurance information as soon as we found it out. They both decided to just bill his primary insurance...cdphp! I called cdphp and explained it was no fault and they said they were going to reverse the claims. Seriously...do I have to do their job too.

Now we get a collection letter from these clowns saying we owe a $50 copayment. Talking to them is like talking to a brick wall! One chick hung up on me and the other told my husband they WILL collect the money! What a bunch of assclowns.

Called the hospital and they have it as no fault and we are not to be billed so they SAID they will call this (bogus) law firm!

I couldn't agree more. I was just told I have multiple charges with them. One is $142 from Albany med another is $6 and another is $2.22. When I asked for statements they refuse to send me the information and have never ever contacted me about these amounts. $2?!? Give me a break! They added something new to my credit report today I have a credit monitoring system and have no information and they can not locate anything. The woman was ride to me and wanted me to make an instant payment. I asked for a statement and she refused without me submitting the request to her in writing. I told her I would gladly send a letter but was away from my desk and couldn't take down the account numbers. She refused to email me them. She was nasty and told me collections would continue like I was a deadbeat for barely $150! Worst people ever. I don't even know what the bills are for and they won't tell me. Worst customer service ever. (I was also transferred 4 times and hung up on 4 before I requested a supervisor call me back. Gina did and was nasty. )

After finding so many complaints online I think we need
to contact the attorney General on both Albany and this lawfirm. Or find a lawyer to file a class action law suit against this Albany Hospital and this law firm above. Frauds, scammers.
Insurance Fraud and scams. Horrible most unprofessional people I ever.
Rude, unwilling to listen to correct error billing. There is medical
coverage on my child. Albany Hosp just as bad refused to resubmit. The
Lawfirm and Albany Hosp. simply hang up, refusing to correct billing.

Ovrton, Russell, Doerr and Donovan, llp are the worst. They will not even talk to me about Albany hospital ill they have in error. There is full medical coverage on my child. Albany Hospital left a letter out of his name, they refused to correct or resubmit to get paid. After a few dozen calls and very rude people, I receive a letter with a bill from this law firm above. They simply hang up on me, they refuse to fix this insurance fraud. We must reach the attorney general or find a lawyer to file a class action lawsuit, these rude people have, I have found online hundreds of lives with credit reports being correct or not, some even for the elderly who made payments to them, paid I full, yet still have the full amount on their credit report This is medical insurance fraud. After finding so many complaints online I think we need to contact the attorney General on both Albany and this law firm.

When I see that this law firm states that it obeys by all laws they are lying, I have had my run ins with law firm/collection agency, the information submitted to me were court document (false and fraudulent documents that is) signed by Mr. Overton himself, I also have the statement from the court that the documents and proceeding never went through the court at all, they will used fraudulent documents to steal funds in bank account or garnish your wages.

Guaranteed if most look into the documents that come from this firm many or all will find them to be misleading, fraudulent documents, extra charges. Check your documents out. Fraudulent and misleading documentation is a direct violation of the Fair Debt Collection. (I actually have Proof they Violated the Law!)

They are a medical debt collector. AMC7 is the code for Albany Medical Center or Albany Medical College (which is a seperate billing code for the docttors that work at Albany Med). Call them at 383-4000.
