In XXXX XXXX, American Medical Collection Agency ( AMCA ) reported to XXXX Credit Report Agency an amount due of $ XXXX for an invoice from XXXX XXXX XXXX 

This amount was a billing error on XXXX 's part. They submitted the invoice to the wrong address for my insurance company, and when they resubmitted it, they failed to include necessary information. They continued to bill me in excess of {$900.00} for these services instead of billing me the reduced amount agreed to and contracted with my insurance company. 

It took me months to have them correct the invoice. I began communicating with XXXX at XXXX in XXXX XXXX, but the amount was not corrected until XXXX. During this time, XXXX XXXX told me that a removal of the disputed item from my credit report was impossible without rebilling my insurance company and starting over. XXXX eventually acknowledged their errors and reduced my invoice on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to the correct amount of {$35.00}, and I promptly paid. 

I called AMCA on XXXX and spoke to XXXX, who said it was their policy to remove the item from Transunion within 45 days. I advised XXXX this was not a PAID bill issue ; it was an INCORRECT reporting issue from XXXX. She agreed and stated the company policy of a 10 business day period to remove the item from my credit. I confirmed that the item should not be marked as PAID, but should be completely REMOVED from my report. 

As of XXXX, the item was still on my XXXX report. I called AMCA and XXXX apologized and said she would investigate. As of today 's XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX update, this item still appears as {$910.00}. 

Reporting a false amount to a credit reporting agency is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I believe that XXXX XXXX as well as AMCA both violated this act. 

Today I will contact Transunion to begin a dispute process. 

For your information, there are XXXX complaints on the Better Business Bureau against AMCA for unfair billing practices.
