State Disclaimers

Some states and cities require that certain disclosures be made by a debt collector to residents of those places, in communications regarding debt collection.

You may also have rights in those or other states not specifically stated below.

This communication is from a debt collector. This is an attempt to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
The state Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act require that, except under unusual circumstances, collectors may not contact you before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. They may not harass you by using threats of violence or arrest or by using obscene language. Collectors may not use false or misleading statements or call you at work if they know or have reason to know that you may not receive personal calls at work. For the most part, collectors may not tell another person other than your attorney or spouse about your debt. Collectors may contact another person to confirm your location or to enforce a judgment. For more information about debt collection activities, you may contact the Federal Trade Commission at 1-877-FTC-HELP or www.ftc.gov.
Nonprofit credit counseling services may be available in the area.
The California license number issued to AllianceOne is 10273-99.
COLORADO RESIDENTS
FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE COLORADO FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT, SEE WWW.COAG.GOV/CAR.
A consumer has the right to request in writing that a debt collector or collection agency cease further communication with the consumer. A written request to cease communication will not prohibit the debt collector or collection agency from taking any other action authorized by law to collect the debt.

COLORADO LAW PROHIBITS CREDIT BUREAUS FROM REPORTING MEDICAL DEBT OR FACTORING MEDICAL DEBT INTO A CREDIT SCORE UNLESS THE CONSUMER REPORT IS TO BE USED IN CONNECTION WITH A CREDIT TRANSACTION THAT INVOLVES, OR THAT MAY REASONABLY BE EXPECTED TO INVOLVE, A PRINCIPAL AMOUNT THAT EXCEEDS THE NATIONAL CONFORMING LOAN LIMIT VALUE FOR A ONE-UNIT PROPERTY AS DETERMINED BY THE FEDERAL HOUSING FINANCE AUTHORITY.

NEW MEXICO RESIDENTS
If you are a covered person and you received a surprise bill from a nonparticipating (out-of-network) provider for health care services rendered in an amount that exceeds your cost-sharing obligation that would apply for the same health care services if the services had been provided by a participating (in-network) provider, you may have rights under the New Mexico Surprise Billing Protection Act (the “Act”). The Act generally prohibits health care providers from knowingly submitting a surprise bill for out-of-network services to an insured person that demands payment for any amount in excess of the cost-sharing amounts that would have been imposed by the insured person’s health benefits plan if the health care service from which the surprise bill arises had been rendered by an in-network provider. The Act also provides that it is an unfair practice for a health care provider to knowingly submit a surprise bill to a collection agency. Pursuant to the Act, please be advised of the following rights:

  1. Patients are responsible only for payment of applicable in-network cost-sharing amounts under the patient’s health benefits plan. 
    2. Patients should contact their insurance carriers in advance and/or the provider when possible, to determine if the scheduled health care services to be provided will be covered at an in-network rate. 
    3. When prior contact is not possible for the care required, patients should contact their insurance carrier to discuss the surprise billing and to find the correct limitations that may apply. 
    4. Patients may appeal a health insurer’s determination regarding a surprise bill in accordance with the hearing procedures established by New Mexico’s Patient Protection Act. 
    5. The Surprise Billing Protection Act SB 337 can be obtained online at https://www.osi.state.nm.us
    6. If additional information or questions arise, you may contact the New Mexico Superintendent of Insurance in Santa Fe, NM.
