I have known about this crime for over twenty years. I did not say anything. Admittedly, for over twenty years, I’ve made a lot of noise.
I asked people questions. “Why are you doing this? Why are you lying?” I punished them. “You shouldn’t be doing this. You need to stop it before you get caught. You know it’s wrong. I know it’s wrong, but you still do it.” Sometimes I told them it would be very bad for them if they got caught. “Stop it before you get caught!”
I never dreamed that I would be the one to catch them! I was not in a position to catch them. I had no proof and I had no way of getting proof. Instead, because I was an oral witness to these crimes… until 2002!
Then at the end of the summer, last year, I had to have cervical spine surgery. My husband was diagnosed with oral cancer at the same time. The main company involved then decided to pay me only $11,000. I have to pay this fee or they will cancel my health insurance. Excuse me????
I didn’t owe this company a dime. I had their contact in my hand. I owed them $0. The same legally binding agreement is displayed on their website. Since I owe them nothing, I ignored the first bill.
The next bill was more threatening. Now I’m a late payer! I knew I had to call them; they can ruin my credit because of this money i don’t owe. I was sure when I got the phone. I expected to fix it in five minutes or less. Instead, it happened.
“No, you owe this money and you’re going to have to pay it. We know it’s a lot, but it has to be paid.”
“I don’t owe you a dime. I have a valid document in my hand. The same document shown on your website! You can’t just ask someone to give you 11k when they don’t owe you anything. Are you out of your mind?”
“I know it’s a lot of money, but there is will have to pay. This is your account. This is your debt.’
“I don’t have to pay money I don’t owe. Where do you get the idea that you can bill people for thousands of dollars? What are you doing? Take me to court for not paying money I don’t owe? We have a legally binding contract. Why are we having this conversation?”
They keep you on the phone by gaslight. The “supervisor” gets on the phone and reads the script over and over again. The controller has no controller. Whatever you try will lead you to a dead end. This is corporate gaslighting 101. They will hit you.
They told me I had eight months to pay off the $11,000 I didn’t owe. The reason I know the contract in my hand is valid is actually not valid. This famous company has a shadow. They tell these lies as if they were the truth. Acting like it’s real makes it real.
I was invited to complain about this bogus bill to an obscure higher up. I wrote my “appeal” in a little box on the website. I said the contract is available on the website. “Send!”
My appeal was rejected. No reason was given. This company just started and I decided to give them $11k, for no reason, or anything! After much complaining on the phone, I was offered a “final appeal”. It’s boring, that’s all.
A few days later, I received a letter from the company marked “Private and Confidential”. Strange. Why not check it out through the portal?
The letter was generally strange. Everyone knows you can’t just bill people! But the letter was also elaborate and contained a blatant lie. The lie was an attempt to distance me from the truth. Good luck with that. lie informed me. It was “say” in the middle of the page.
The letter invited me to file a “final appeal” of this bogus settlement. I was typing my answer when something incredible happened. I found the proof! I found documents missing from 2014! Holding the papers in my hand, I knew there was going to be a fight and I wanted to start it. What else could the papers in my hand indicate? The next morning I was up before the post office opened; a collection of hand-verified letters.
When I was getting the bills, I didn’t think it was a federal crime! I wondered if my husband would survive the ordeal he went through. I was wondering if my surgery would be cancelled. I paid them over $1600 under duress. I intended to have the operation and fight, after the operation? In the end, the Department of Labor forced them to refund me. A chargeback proves that the account is fake.
Finally yesterday I filed a mail fraud complaint with USPIS (United States Postal Inspection Service). Add this to my growing collection of fully substantiated and irrefutable complaints with multiple agencies.
You wouldn’t think that a company with a worldwide reputation would be prone to such a thing. They do and they do. Also, this is the tip of the iceberg. I recently had seven federal felonies filed against me in 27 days. Federal crime! It’s funny.
Now you know how it started and the last moves. I have to fill in the middle as we go.
