Is it possible for you to assist me in filing a No-Fee Lawsuit against GB Collects?

Absolutely. Here are a few examples of customer complaints.

GB Collects has been accused of causing problems as a result of disagreements over the authenticity of debts and harassment charges.

A complaint alleged in July 2018 that he had “got a letter from GBC…indicating that they were contacting him on behalf of their client, and claimed he owed their client for a debt from a year and a half” earlier. “I immediately phoned them…and contested their assertion,” the complaint said. He demanded physical confirmation that he owed the bill, which they were unable to give.” The complainant claimed that he had been insured for two months and that he had paid all of his fees.” He “got unemployed…but was able to obtain Medicaid, so he phoned his former employer and had his insurance cancelled.” No one stated he owed anything at the time.” The complainant alleged that GBC was contacting his “phone continuously and sending him letters in the mail” by the time he filed the complaint. GBC “failed to show him proof, and… begged them not to be harassed any longer,” he added, but GBC “continues to do so.” This complaint received no public reaction from GBC.

A complaint claimed in February 2019 that GB Collects continued to “contact him and send him letters concerning a debt” that he claimed he did not owe. GBC allegedly stated he owed payment for a previous month’s insurance charge. The complainant, on the other hand, maintained that he had “ended his policy” prior to that date and “had no coverage with the insurance company thereafter.” He further claimed that he “submitted a copy of his Form 1095-A (Health Insurance Marketplace Statement) to GBC… to establish that he did not owe…any money.” Regardless, the complainant noted that “despite the fact that GBC has no proof of… coverage with the insurance carrier for the month in issue… they continue to harass him via phone calls and letters.” “We believe the allegation is the product of a misunderstanding,” GBC said.

A complainant reported in October 2018 that she had “got a call… from GB Collects during which…they told her that her… husband owed a medical bill from…2017.” Because they did not have coverage or therapy at the time, the complainant “told them this was not possible.” The GBC agent “continued to hint that she owed money and was definitely in trouble,” according to the complainant. She inquired about the social security number on the medical bill, but he did not have it. She informed him he was mistaken and that she thought it was a con.” GBC allegedly “tried phoning again,” but the complainant “did not answer,” despite the fact that she had read “one other complaint… for frequent contacting to seniors about unpaid bills.” “We believe the allegation is the product of a misunderstanding,” GBC said.
