Exercise your rights when Revenue Cycle Management contacts you
Medical debt collectors must follow strict rules and regulations outlined in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which provides crucial consumer protections. Understanding these rights is essential for protecting yourself from aggressive collection tactics.
Revenue Cycle Management cannot legally:
- Mention your medical debt to friends, family, or colleagues
- Make excessive calls throughout the day for the same debt
- Threaten, harass, or mistreat you regarding your medical debt
- Fail to respond to a properly submitted Debt Validation Letter
- Use abusive or inappropriate language when communicating
- Report inaccurate information to credit reporting agencies
- Continue collection activities during the validation period
"Under the FDCPA, consumers have 30 days from initial contact to request debt validation, during which collection activities must cease." - Federal Trade Commission Guidelines
Your consumer protection rights include:
- Right to request debt validation within 30 days
- Protection against harassment and abuse
- Right to dispute inaccurate credit reporting
- Ability to request communication preferences
- Protection from unfair collection practices
If Revenue Cycle Management violates these consumer laws, take immediate action by reporting them to:
- Your state's attorney general's office
- Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)
- Better Business Bureau (BBB)
- Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
You may even be eligible for compensation up to $1,000 plus attorney fees if you can prove your rights were violated.
Make Revenue Cycle Management validate your debt
Understanding the debt validation process
When you first hear from Revenue Cycle Management about a supposed medical debt you owe, always request debt validation before making any payment agreements. This critical step protects you from paying invalid or inaccurate debts.
What debt validation must include:
- Original creditor information
- Account number and debt amount
- Verification of your responsibility for the debt
- Proof of the collector's authority to collect
- Documentation supporting the claimed balance
Respond to a Revenue Cycle Management debt collector
If the debt is validated and remains unpaid, don't be surprised if the matter escalates to legal action. Medical debt lawsuits can cause significant financial damage, especially if the collection agency wins and obtains wage garnishment rights.
Here's how to protect yourself:
1. Answer each claim listed in the Complaint
The Complaint document initiates a debt lawsuit and contains the allegations Revenue Cycle Management has made against you. You can respond to each claim strategically:
Response options:
- Admit: Agreeing that the allegation is completely accurate
- Deny: Requiring Revenue Cycle Management to prove their claims
- Deny for lack of knowledge: Indicating insufficient information to respond accurately
"Approximately 70% of medical debt lawsuits result in default judgments because consumers fail to respond properly." - National Consumer Law Center Study
Strategic recommendation: Debt specialists typically recommend denying most allegations to force collectors to prove their case with proper documentation.
2. Assert your affirmative defenses
Asserting affirmative defenses explains why you shouldn't be held responsible for the debt or why the collection is improper.
Common defenses against Revenue Cycle Management:
- Lack of legal standing to collect the debt
- Inaccurate debt amount or calculations
- Violation of consumer protection rights
- Statute of limitations expiration
- Previous payment or debt cancellation
- Improper credit reporting practices
- Failure to provide proper validation
3. File the Answer in court and send copies to all parties
After drafting your Answer, create three copies:
- Court filing: Submit to the court specified in the lawsuit
- Plaintiff copy: Send to Revenue Cycle Management's attorney
- Personal records: Maintain for your documentation
Critical timing: Complete this process before your state's deadline to avoid a default judgment that could result in wage garnishment or asset seizure.
