1. Close your checking account and open a new one elsewhere (preferably with a credit union). Do not let these predators get any more of your money.  2. Write the hospital administrator or their board of directors and tell them what happened, and your complaints a***nst Hollis Cobb****ociations.  Keep a copy of your letter.  When I wrote the hospital I told them I suspected someone at the hospital was getting a kick-back from Hollis Cobb, or they wouldn't be doing business with a firm that has an "F" rating from the Better Business Bureau.3. Ignore Hollis Cobb****ociates calls--block them, if you can--and threatening letters. (But save the letters.)  They will huff and puff, but they can't do anything.

If Obama would quit bailing out banks and spending money on everything except americans  Hey give us that money and we can pay our bills

We no longer have debtors prisons.  Tell them to get a life.  Seriously.  You can pay them  as little as 10 dollars a month and it will show you are trying.  I either dont answer or if I do I **** up.  Dont let them bully you.

Yay for you!!!  the first thing the hospital always ask me is Do you have your insurance card??I am glad someone else is as sick of this as I am!!!

pinch yourselves and wake up from your dream... BUSH & eight years of his tyranny along with republican idiots got us in this mess. where r your ***in cells? you should've had a party when those ****** were in office.

Ok folks.  Seems that hospitals are automatically using collection agencies to collect any amount due them OR any amount that might not even be due them just because you walked into their doors.  You can send a certified letter to them that states your rights...which is to FIRE them.  Look up the Federal laws that protect you.  They can no longer call, write or anything once you send a Cease and Desist letter.  IF they do, then report them.  All this information is on the internet.  From now on...ANY medical service such as an MRI or CT scan recommended by your lovely doctors which are all in on it, DO NOT use the hospital.  Use a private imaging place.  For instance, my husband had a CT scan which cost almost 15k at the hospital and I had the same one for 500 dollars at a private imaging service.  He owes 3 times what I paid in cash...and he has full insurance and now...dealing with having to fire the collection agency and the hospital WILL accept payments but won't work with you on making a payment schedule...which means, you can keep them off your credit report yet you will be making payments for a while directly to the hospital.  It is a scam and as previously stated by someone, this is all about illegals and people who do not pay their bills...with inflated costs passed onto those of us that just need to be taken care of while sick and those of us with insurance.  My doc told me that one freaking aspirin can cost $100. at a hospital.  Always take your own pain meds, aspirins, whatever and you have to sneak them in the hospital because they WANT to charge you a ridiculous amt while there.  Private hospitals?  I dunno...they may do it too.  This country needs REPUBLICANS back into office BUT those that realize where the c****es need to happen.  No wonder people are in debt and no wonder this country is in the shape it is in.  THE TEA PARTY is our only answer at this point in time.

So Obamawillpay do you also consider your ancestors creatures what were they Irish dutch German British Ca***ian. I mean they came from somewhere the only people that have any right to complain about things in this country are native Americans native Ca***ians and native Mexicans not those that came from Spain Germany Ireland Russia ****a. All of us but those native are immigrants I agree on the fact that there are illegal immigrants that either need to become legal or go back to their country till they can do this legally but the way that you talk about this just proves how naive Americans are when it comes to legal and illegal immigrants.

They do no reveal who they are and they don't answer the phone promptly when you call back and still remain anonymous! They are violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act by purposely trying to conceal their company name and purpose for the phone call. They are "PATIENT ACCOUNTS" for some one who will be sued using them!

It says Angie calling, but it's recorded message asking for call back.

Just recorded message asking for call back. It's really strange.

Have no idea why they are calling. Have never recieved a letter about why they are trying to contact me. When I do answer the phone there is never a live person on the phone to talk to. Never do I return calls unless I know what they need.

Yes, it appears that this is a pre-recorded message, with the callers names alternated each week, just to mix things up a bit, (although they do like using female names that s**** with the letter "A" ;-)

These people are crazy.  My daughter had to go to the Northside emergency room in Feb 2009 and her bills were paid by aetna and I paid all the co pays. I get this phone call from these people demanding $238. I asked the person what it was for and he said for date of service 2/23. I told him to send me an itemized bill to show where I owed them the money and he said I don't have to I am a law firm and I am demanding that you pay. I asked him if he had lost his mine.  That I wasn't going to pay anyone money that I didn't owe and I just ***g up on him.

Received two calls from this number and both times it was a recording with a lot of static. I ***g up both times as I don't have the time to waste listening to a recording, especially one that I can barely hear.

I get at least one call a day from robo "Angie" at Hollis Cobb and****ociates. (http://www.holli******com) My number apparently once belonged to a patient at Northside Hospital named Stephanie Herbert. I have called five times in the past two months to this 800 number and each time have requested that my number be removed. Each time, I am told that the number will be removed, but inevitably... I continue to get these calls. If you ask for a manager or supervisor, they get real testy and defensive. I think that their operators are home based workers or so****ing. The "drop dead" letter is my next step. Thanks for that suggestion Scott.

this number calls my prepaid cell phone several times a day ... on the one or two times i've answered, there's no one there. this number has called my phone twice today

This number calls my prepaid cell phone (just got it a few months ago) several times a day ... almost every day.  I have no debts .. medical or otherwise.  On the two occasions I've answered (before checking caller id), there's no one there.  These people have no reason to call me

Call from patient account everyday about a bill from the hospital my insurance already paid over 23thousand for a 2 day hospital stay and I being billed for 1M more.Let the Republican Senator and Congress pay the bill or collection should call Congress everyday.I lost my job because of fmla  could not return to work in 12 weeks. So collection can get in line  like everbody else can,t pay what I don't have.

keeps calling with recorded message from Nicole

Angie called left message to call back, could not make out the company name

This woman left a message says that I must call TODAY! She was very stern about it. Sure, I'll get right on that!

I believe this is a collection call but won't say for what. Just said it is IMPERITIVE I call.

Keep getting calls from 'Angie' at Hollis Cobb****ociates, NEVER a real person on the phone just a recording that loops and loops...Telling me to return the call. I have no idea who this person or ma****e is calling me about.Guess I need to do the 'Drop Dead' letter on their ****** A** for harassing me constantly and calling my cell phone! AND in closing I agree with ObamaWillPay above 100%!!!!!

Write these people a "drop dead" letter (google it) within 30 days of when you first recieve notice from them. Tell them NOT to contact you by phone a***n. Send it certified/return receipt. Then if they do call a***n, its a violation of federal law and they can be prosecuted.

Angie keeps calling me , leaving automated messages over and over

Sounded Fraudelant

Hi!I'm writing this email because I'm having hard time with North Side Collections Hollis Cobb****ociates, calling me from 800-489-2854. I had radiotherapy as a part of my cancer treatment in northside, cancer center. They did not mention anything about the cost of this treatment. After I completed this step I received a bill about $38000 total and my part is about $1600. My insurance has already paid its side. I was just going back to work after several times being in medical leave, I contacted business office. I did not agree with $100 monthly paiment. I can hardly ***n these days $1200/month. Finally they escalated this to their collector. And nightmarre s****ed. I agreed with $100/m and let them widraw automatically on 28th each month. They call me each month several times and threatening collection on this debt being paid. This month They sent a bill and when I called them their representative pushed me to pay directly on the phone. I had the promise of the representative that automatic withdrawal won't take place this month. She said call was tapping. After this withdrawal on feb 26th, they als took out $100 on feb 28th. I can hardly manage my life with this little money I ***n these days. If I could predict this would be  consequence of my treatment I would skip it for sure.

calls multiple times a day to my cell and work number...has left threats, like "we're gonna get a warrant" "legal actioni is gonna happen"

These people call me a minimum of three times a day and leave a voice mail. I know they are a collection agency for a medical bill. I told him in the beginning how much I could afford on a monthly basis and I was informed that it wasn't an "acceptable amount." Oh well - it's that or nothing buddy! I send money every month. Aren't they supposed to leave me alone if I'm making some kind of monthly payment? I don't answer their calls anymore, but I get at least three annoying voicemails from them daily.

A recording "Angie" calls my cell every night, and asks me twice to call her back.

tell them to get the money from the funds that they pay all the illegal aliens bills from...i'm tired of hard working people with insurance that has to take up the slack from where these sorry a** creatures sneak in to this country and have their illegal little creatures and leave the bill to us..coming into this country *****ing and beating each other and leaving us stuck with the bills...tell them to call the White House and ask for Barrack and I'm sure he will send the a check ASAP...

This "Angie" keeps calling my house phone between the hours of 8:30am and 10:00am. I can't seem to hear what the name of the company the "company" is coming from. Anyone know who this is?

People with very bad at***ude! they use threatening words as if they were credit bureaus.they did shout out and **** up without listening anything from our side.

I have received multiple calls from this number. Sometimes they leave a message telling me to call a Daniel or an Emily right back. But they never say who they are or why they are calling all the time! Its getting old!

Was called from 800-489-2854...   called about an outstanding bill with a clinic...  I explained that insurance company was reviewing for possible further payments and advised that until completely settled, I was not paying on the account at this time...  he was extremely obnoxious and told me that I would pay 'right now immediately' or they would 'get me'... said that I was lying about amounts to be additionally reimbursed by insurance company... would give no name or information other than Hollis so****ing that he would not repeat....

Angie th**** 2nd time she call on my cell phone

Angie left a message on my cell phone

I've been called multiple times at different hours of the day & I do believe the person's name is Angie. Upon replying to # was put on hold to wait for next available representative. (a ploy)Know this is one person or small company either selling so****ing or trying to haress "credit card VICTIMS" into coughing up some non existent $$$--sorry-stand in line for your complete waste of time--> ANGIE!!!

It's Hollis Cobb****ociates. They are a collection agency and they are calling me about a past due account with Northside Hospital in Atlanta.

calls virtually every night around 9pm with a message to call back and that it's not a solicitation... which of course I know it is.

i've never been to piedmont hospital.  But I am in the Atlanta Area.the caller from this number identified herself as Nicole from Holly Scott (?)****ociates . . . Never heard of them and don't know why they're calling, but I do not return calls from people I don't know, 800# or not.  Looking for information on who they are.

This crazy lady keeps on calling me about some law firm thing, at least once a day. Once I accidentally answered, IT WAS A MA****E! She didn't even really call me! I'm only 13 and I've told my parents, but she keeps on calling! MAKE HER STOP!
