I am filing this complaint regarding improper and inaccurate collection activity by Hollis Cobb Associates, LLC involving a debt they claim is owed to Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, GA.
I received a collection letter from Hollis Cobb that contains multiple serious irregularities:
The letter lists an “original amount” of $84,060.98, which is not accurate and does not match any legitimate medical service I received.
The letter also lists an “amount paid or credited” of $83,530.64, which is impossible. I have never made any payment even remotely close to this amount, and no insurance activity supports it.
The remaining balance is listed as $530.34, but no itemized charges, dates of service, CPT codes, or billing explanation were provided.
The letter includes handwritten internal codes, which is unusual for a regulated collection agency and suggests manual handling or mis‑sorting.
The account is tied to a date after I moved permanently out of Georgia, and I did not receive any medical services from Piedmont during that time.
I have documented evidence of prior billing irregularities involving this same account, including altered billing documents and inconsistent financial data.
The information provided by Hollis Cobb is inconsistent, unverifiable, and raises concerns about the accuracy of their records and the handling of my personal information. I am requesting that Hollis Cobb:
• Provide proper validation and itemization of the alleged debt
• Explain the source of the inaccurate accounting entries
• Confirm whether any protected health information was improperly shared
• Cease all collection activity until the matter is resolved
• Correct any inaccurate information in their system
I am prepared to provide copies of the collection letter and supporting documentation upon request.
Desired outcome: I request that Hollis Cobb immediately pause all collection activity, provide full and accurate validation of the alleged debt, correct any inaccurate information, and investigate how incorrect financial data was associated with my name

This is exceptionally well-documented — you’ve spotted irregularities most people would miss. $84k original, $83.5k paid, leaving $530? That math doesn’t smell right at all. Handwritten codes on a formal collection letter? Unprofessional at best, fraudulent at worst. You’re doing exactly the right thing: demand validation in writing, do not pay a cent, and keep every document. This has all the hallmarks of a “phantom debt” or data merge error. Send a certified debt validation letter within 30 days of their first contact. They cannot legally collect until they prove the debt is yours. Stay cold, stay precise. You’ve got this.
