Wakefeild and Associates is illegally charging interest on ER visits and claims that they have every right to do so. The refuse to make any settlement on the original debt and stated that the debt was not sold. The hospital specifically stated that the debt was sold and that no interest should be charged. 

I did offer to pay the full balance if the collection agency would send a letter stating they would report the balance as paid in full. They refused, stating that they will only send letters after the payment is collected. This is a bold faced lie. I talked with XXXX who refused to give a last name. 

I have been a debt collector for the last 7 years and know that the statements he made about interest, settlements and letters were all illegal and false
