I have been getting these calls over 10 yrs and they have been from edward sloanm now the caller ID that is a recording from edward sloan says Winnsborro ISD,, if u call the number that shows on caller id, no one answer.  Why are they using a school as caller id.  Sounds strange.

Edward Sloan - carpet baggers.  They keep calling me on a bill that was paid by insurance about 5 years ago.  There WERE some charges that I was supposed to pay but I was unaware of because I never received a bill.  The clinic gave them an old, old, address from 2001!  Now collections want an enormous amount.  I contact the clinic and said I'll pay it directly to them, if I could do it in a few installments, but they wouldn't do it.  Too bad.  Now they get nuthin'!

Calling at all hours and I don't know what they want i don't respond to someone yelling at me or trying to threaten me

Yes medical bills do show up on your credit score if they ever go to collections like edward sloan and associates. And actually what they do is they report the same bill multiple times to the credit bureau so that it looks like you have multiple bills not paid when in reality it is one that was paid by insurance. So, in repsponse to medical bills do not show up on your credit report, you have been misinformed, they can actually ruin your credit report.

Actually.....medical bills CAN show up on your credit record if you don't pay them.

HAHA, medical bills do not show up on your credit report!

Received second call SEP 21 10:34AM.

Lifted receiver for 1 second and ended call, and did not fumble-drop base corded receiver.

Grandpa don't know nothing, and can't remember it, if not supposed to.

May be looking for generic name "Gloria Smith", previous AT&T account is my current land line since 1999, and I am permanently disabled receiving Life LIne credit on current AT&T billing.

Will Ignore This Caller, and if 3rd call, will delete one number and add to call block, wait and see.

This is a medical collection call that I keep getting on a $58 bill for my daughter.  Bill must be at least 6years old.  Tried giving them my ex-wife's number but they keep calling me instead.

Edward Sloan message begins and after 1 second realized waste of my time, so disconnected caller.

Received August 9, 2012

No additional calls, yet.

Calls on my cell phone and I have never given them my cell number.

came up as EDWARD SLOAN

LOOKS like "2424" works for "Edward Sloan & Associates" what about it "2424" or should we call you "Eddy"

Received a call at 6:45, 11/07/201 (supper time) from an Edward Sloan rep. about a bill that Medicare had payed.  The nunber my machine recorded was 903-342-3802.

I also have BC/BS.  I'm glad that I have not paid any money yet to them.
I haven't seen a bill from my physician, yet.
I had better not pay until I look at my bill.  Reading all of your emails has been
eye-opening.  It very well could have been paid by BC/BS, and yet, these dear ones
are continuing to call.
Thanks for the info.

Just pull up ur EOBS with BCBS from the date of service...you can do that online. U have a deductible that is your agreement with your ins company then they only pay 80% if ur lucky and have good ins they pay 90%. ur ins company doesnt cover at 100% always. If u have to take an ambulance theres a deducutible for that and if you are care flighted theres on for that. Not to mention ur co-pays as well. And sometimes your ins company wont cover certain things. I have BCBS and with my policy they dont cover pregnancy, mental health, or birth control. I have to meet a 5000.00 deductible before they pay anything then they pay 80% and I still owe 20%. I also have a 200.00 prescription deductible i have to meet before they cover my medications. Keep an eye on your EOBS save them match them to the bills you get from the doctors or hospitals. Ins companies look for any reason not to pay thats why u have a 90-120 day statue of limitations to file an appeal with your ins company if u dont then they assume you agree with how they paid and you are paying the rest. Collection agencies are not at fault for your ins not paying like they are suppose to. You are. And remember if u go to the ER you get a bill for the facility and the doctor. Radiology is a seperate bill and so is lab work. Make sure you ask for a list of providers when you leave the hospital that way u can make sure to give them your ins information because the hoapital doesnt have to give your providers the ins information its not their responsibility. If you have medicaid/medicare they will only cover an ambulance ride if it is life or death. And guess what they get to determine wether it was life or death. No none of this is fair but thats how it works. If u stay on top of everything you wouldnt have to deal with collection agencies. If the agency that is calling you has the wrong number just call and let the agency know and they can remove it. They dont know its a bad number until u let them know.

I've had the same problem. Blue Cross Blue Shield paid them and they keep calling my cell. Never a message. Sounds like some kind of scam with them harassing blue cross blue shield patients all the time.

Blue Cross insurance here. same crap as everyone else. Paid by insurance, still got collection.

Ok so im going through the same crap and heres what I did it may help all of you. I called and got a manager on the phone and spoke with her explained that the person they were looking for was NOT me. Now they do have an auto dialer and explained that it would be 24-48 hours to come out of their system. The number was removed and I havent gotten any phone calls since. Make sure and ask for the manger though she was REAL nice and REAL helpful.

This guy Wrote the book on being a ignorant A.. Ho..  It's such a 2 faced idiot, this has been going on for 7 years now, and he just can't understand that I wouldn't pay him chit if I won the lottery tomorrow. Eat Ch.. and Di.  Edward Sloan.

This guy is a real Bottomfeeder. This has been going on for 7 years, What a low life peace of crap he is.

The bug the s**t out of me.... I an going to report them.....

The bug the s**t out of me.... I an going to report them.....

I'v been getting calls from this number for 3 years on a medical bill that was paid by my insurance.  My last conversation with the woman calling was over 2 years ago.  She was ignorant and extremely rude.  I just programmed the number in my phone under "don't answer" and ignore the calls.  They are relentless!!!

Edward Sloan has called me for almost 6 years now over a medical bill that was paid. The medical services were provided in 2003!  Years ago, i asked for the back up as you are required to do under the federal credit reporting act in order to get the incorrect information removed from my credit report.  Of course, Edward Sloan was unable to provide the backup at which time i sent another certified letter and told them to remove it from my credit report and and said they would remove it and quit calling me as they are required to do. All of this was done AFTER the statute of limitations had expired anyway.  i am an attorney and i've just about had it.  i think i will file a complaint with the Texas Attorney General and see if i can put a stop to this.  This is ridiculous.   If anybody has any other suggestions i would gladly accept them.

Your right know your laws!

1. Doctors file insurance as a courtesy, they dont have to file it. It is actually up to you to follow up and make sure your ins. co. paid. If they dont you have 90-120 day to file an appeal if you dont then your stuck with the bill. More than likely if the doctors office messed up they will make it right. But once it goes it to collections....theres not much you can do.

2. I was just letting them know how to stop the phone calls. I get calls myself from them. Now I did owe a bill, however they were nice enough to remove my cell phone when I asked them to. Commen sense, if you dont call and let them know that the number is bad you will just keep getting calls.

3. As far as me being Edward Sloan ha ha ha Come on thats a company like they would have time to be on here. I found this site when they were calling me and was trying to be helpful to others. I do know the laws VERY WELL.

4. If there is a big enough balance I have seen the origional creditor file a judgement. As far as the credit goes. MEDICAL DEBT DOES EFFECT YOUR CREDIT. And its even worse now cause there are sooooooooo many people not paying their medical debt. Personally, I went to re-finanace my house and I had a 75.00 co-pay charge that I must have forgot about ( I have 5 kids medical is the last thing on my mind sometimes) they made me pay that before they would allow me to re finanace my house.

5. I dont agree with the way the law are set up. I think doctors office should be MADE to file ins!!!!

So everyone knows....the person posting messages under the name 2424, IS Edward Sloan and Assoc.!! Legally, you are not required to pay a bill that your doctors office mistakenly did not file with your insurance or if the statute of limitations has expired as that is the doctors billing office's responsibility, not the patients. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! Do not let these people bully you into paying medical bills you are not responsible for. If the doctors office didn't file it correctly, it's their problem and they have to eat it. They will try to threaten you with a lawsuit and bad credit ratings, both of which do not work as they know it will cost much more to go to court and they will lose because they were negligent in the filing of the claim. PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY AND KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AS A PATIENT!

Call the number back that is calling you and ask who they are trying to reach it they maybe looking for someone else. Thats the only way to stop the call because if they dont know they are calling a wrong number they cant make it stop.

I have the same problem as amanda.  several calls a day, but they hang up when i answer.  If i don't answer, they don't leave a message.  got to block that number.
