Our dental practice received an invoice regarding collections services from Capital Accounts. The services attempting to be collected upon are from patient accounts that were submitted to the collections agency from XXXX under a prior business owners name. 

Our doctor purchased the practice from the doctor in question in XX/XX/XXXX, however all account aging and collections from before the purchase of the practice remained in the prior doctors name and were forwarded to him via postal forwarding. 

Capital Accounts had been unsuccessful in collecting and or contacting the prior doctor and on XX/XX/XXXX someone from their office changed the name on the collections account to our doctor based off of our answering service. 

Once we received the invoice from Capital Accounts we contacted them for more information regarding the account and were notified by their representatives that the debt that they are attempting to collect is not ours. It was also at this time that we were made aware that they changed the name on the collections account after unsuccessfully reaching the prior doctor on our office number. 

During our conversation with Capital Accounts we made them aware that the account in question had been erroneously changed into our doctors name, and that we did not have forwarding or contact information for the prior doctor. XXXX continued to harass and make threats regarding why we were unable to provide information regarding the doctor in question. We attempted to resolve the matter and get a corrected invoice showing that no debt is owed by our doctor, however the harassment and threats continued until XXXX hung up on us.
