Today in the mail we got 2 letters from RMB, Inc on my husband's hospital bill. The first letter said he owed $13633.38 and needed to forward the amount in full immediately. The second letter is the one that has me scratching my head. I've posted the letter so you can see for yourself.
Account name: XXX
Client reference: XXX
Total due: $13633.38
Dear XXX,
Please be advised that the above referenced client has authorized a settlement on the account noted above. This settlement applies to only the account listed above and does not include any other accounts held by this client and/or our office.
The Approved settlement amount is $0.00 which must be in our office no later than . The payment must be in the form of certified funds (Cashier's Check or Money Order) or paid in cash at our office. If payment is not received by the this date, this offer will be void and the total will become due.
Please by sure to include the account number on your payment and send it to the above address.
Sincerely, CA worker & phone number
Then it just has the standard this communication is from a debt collector, etc after that. There is a payment coupon at the bottom of the letter showing amount due as $0.00. You'll probably notice that it never says what date the payment must be in by.
The account numbers, the OC, and the amounts are the same so it appears that both letters are for the same debt. The date is the same on both letters. Does this mean the hospital is forgiving the amount due or is this just some sneaky CA tactic?
