I hope your day is as good as mine. If you have a case that is in collections while you are disputing a bill, your provider or facility cannot move your bill into collections. They also cannot collect any existing late fees on unpaid bills until the dispute process ends, and they cannot take action against you simply because you are disputing your bill. If your account is already in collections, the provider or facility must stop pursuing payment until the dispute process is resolved. Whenever I handle cases in collections, I demand a freeze on the account. Please call me. I’m here to help you. Thank you.
