When you do speak to someone in Compliance or the Administrator, reference OAR.436.009(2).
Then come back and tell us what THEY say. >

LMAO you did good peeler
To make sure that is is deleted I would follow the HIPAA process
Start with the Pre-HIPAA diaspute letter. It is sent to all CRAs reporting.
The correct colored paper & type in italics makes the CRAs do a manual reading of your dispute.
Hand write the enevolpe and mail CMRRR

I spoke to OC's administrator today was on the phone with her for an hour and a half. Their computers have no record of me being in the hospital at all let alone owing any money. Their patient charts however have being there and the WC paperwork being filled out and signed. She said the reason it was put on me was because they never received payment from WC. I referenced OAR 436.009(2) and told her that I was bringing in the DOL to resolve this matter. She all of sudden got quiet and then said she will contact the CA and reflect that the matter is closed and paid. I said that I wanted it removed from my CRS as it is detrimental to my credit worthiness. She said legally they can't do that. I then told her that I was calling WC on this matter and seeking an attorney. She said she will be in touch with me monday or tuesday on what exactly can be done.
Whooo-hoooo!!!! I KNEW it!!!
By NLT Tuesday, it'll be taken care of!! If not sooner!
I can betcha that the whole office is in a frickin' panic!! They broke several state and Federal laws and SHOULD be peeing themselves stupid!!
Don't back down, though. While I'm sure it was an innocent misunderstanding, it still *blanked* you over. You NEED to be made "whole." Don't accept anything else!!
You let us know what happens, okay?!

DW and I were talking and she thinks that I should contact an atty anyway for a suit because they really messed up my credit.
I'd seriously think about it, too. And free tip (not meant sarcastically or smart-mouthy -- some people honestly don't know that!), most WCD lawyers work on contingency. So you'd not be out of any out-of-pocket expenses.
I really think it was a misunderstanding (or just plain stupidity -- the gov doesn't make WCD easy to work with, you know). But seeing as how you tried to clear this up previously and are only getting the attention you DESERVE now, that you've brought in the DoL/WCD, I think it's just being negligent.
Go get'em!!
