It is illegal for a debt collector to make empty threats to sue you or garnish your wages. It is also unlikely EAS would sue you for a debt you may not owe or they cannot validate. However, debt collection agencies are known to have summoned debtors to court and garnish wages after a default judgement. Contacting an attorney BEFORE this could possibly happen would be a smart move. We’ve helped thousands of consumers fight back against unscrupulous debt collection harassers.

Eastern medical placed 3 negative marks on my credit report. Before they placed them they threaten to make it happen. I was afraid and didn’t want to ruin my credit so I decided to make payments. After paying half on one account I found out it was already paid by my insurance company. I stop paying them and they added that and two other collections to my credit report. They refused to pay me back and said it was confirmed. They even knew about my procedure which is a violation of my medical privacy rights. This company is bad and will do whatever it takes to get money from you. I’m thinking about suing them and the medical agency for violating my privacy rights and ruining my credit report.
I went to Norwalk radiology and was billed under my married name which was dissolved in 2013 when I got divorced . My insurance rejected it because I was made back to my maiden name and it was sent to Eastern collections department to which they are ruining my credit and I am trying to get a mortgage currently
