My husband received treatment for a XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. The hospitalist, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( also known as XXXX XXXX ) then billed us for the services because they do not take XXXX insurance. 

We called XXXX and said since this was an emergency, they should cover the cost of the hospitalist treatment. XXXX agreed. They sent us a check ( # XXXX ) made out to me in the amount of {$210.00} and told us to sign the check over to XXXX. We did so. 

Here 's where things got interesting. XXXX XXXX, unbeknownst to us, made a mistake and separately sent another {$210.00} check to XXXX. This caused a double payment. Rather than following up with XXXX, XXXX XXXX sent us a letter ( XXXX Inquiry Number : XXXX ) saying we owed them the {$210.00} back. They also started sending collections letters from XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The problem is that we had already signed the original check over to XXXX. 

I tried to resolve this situation by calling XXXX and asking them to refund XXXX XXXX. I talked to XXXX in the billing department at XXXX ( phone number XXXX ). XXXX said that they had indeed received a double payment and would refund XXXX XXXX one of the checks. 

XXXX mailed XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX the refund around XX/XX/XXXX. However, after 30 days, XXXX XXXX was still sending collections letters. I called XXXX XXXX and talked to XXXX XXXX ( sp? ) who said she would look into this for me. 

XXXX called XXXX and asked her to stop payment on the original check and mail a second check. XXXX did so. She sent out a second check to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX around XX/XX/XXXX. 

Again, XXXX XXXX apparently was not showing that they received this second check 30 days later. In addition, XXXX XXXX officially sent us to the " real '' collections company, Receivable Management Services Corporation. 

This is ridiculous because XXXX XXXX made the mistake of double-paying in the first place! XXXX sent XXXX sets of checks to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and they still have not credited the {$210.00} to my account. 

I am asking XXXX XXXX to take me out of the middle. I do n't have their {$210.00}. They need to assign the debt to XXXX XXXX and clear my credit history.
