A family member got a phone call this week from a debt collector regarding a medical debt from a hospital visit. The debt is supposedly under my name. The issue here is that I've never gone to the hospital.
I called the debt collector and l asked for confirmation of who they are, what information they have of me, and who the creditor is. They only have my name, a family member's phone number, and the creditor hospital. I don't know how they got my family member's number. They did confirm they were from Aargon Collection Agency. Their number checked out.
Credit reports show nothing has gone to collections, all accounts are fine, no weird stuff on my credit report, so I don't think it's identity theft.
What should I do? I'm thinking of contacting the creditor hospital to ask them for more information about who went to the hospital under my name and tell them they have the wrong person. Any ideas on what to do and/or how to approach this? Thank you!
