Consumer Narrative
I logged into my XXXX account and AWA Collections has flagged my account to attempt to collect {$200.00}. Letter below will be sent to them. AWA Collections XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX To Whom It May Concern : Be advised I am disputing this debt and collection. There was no signed financial responsibility form ever completed with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I would like to see documentation showing treatment rendered and my signature agreeing to charges and the charges listed. No statements/bills or attempts by the provider has ever been received. My insurance covered what was needed and that was agreed upon at time of service. Also, this is a HIPAA violation, and I will be reporting XXXX XXXX XXXX to the XXXX XXXX as I have a right to protect my privacy and medical and dental records from third parties. I do not recall giving any permission to XXXX XXXX XXXX for them to release my dental records to a third party. I am aware that HIPAA does allow for limited information about me but anything more is only to be revealed with the patients authorization. Therefore, my request is twofold Validation of debt and HIPAA authorization. Please provide breakdown of fees including any collection costs and dental charges. Provide a copy of my signature with the provider of service to release my dental information to you. Cease any credit bureau reporting until debt has been validated by me. Please send this information to my address listed above and accept this letter, sent certified mail, as my formal debt validation request, which I am allowed under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Please note that withholding the information you received from any medical and dental provider is an attempt to be HIPAA Compliant can be a violation of the FDCPA because you will be deceiving me after my written request. I request full documentation of what you received from the provider of service in connection with this alleged debt. Finally, if you do not own this debt, I demand that you immediately send a copy of this dispute letter to the original creditor, so they are also aware of my dispute with this debt.
