On December 6, 2016, I typed and sent a letter to a medical service provider for a senior citizen client from East Chicago, Indiana. The letter asked the chief executive officer and doctor of a medical service provider to cancel a bill that the firm had sent to our client. Here is the part of the letter that I can show you.

On October 18, 2016, I wrote a letter to a medical firm in northwest Indiana to help a client from Dyer, Indiana. With some editing to protect our client’s privacy, here is the letter that I sent.

One strange thing about the bills is that they were for services rendered over three years before the client got the bill. The total of the bills from the collection agency was $9,137.63. I sent a letter to the bill’s originator. But, the letter came back marked undeliverable because no such party was at that address.
