John P. Warr DDS Towne Centre Dentistry, Dr. John Warr Abusive Collection Tactics: Attempts to Extort Payment from Elderly Relatives of Patients Waterford, Michigan

This Waterford MI Dentist engages in illegal and abusive collection tactics. His office has sent my mother, an elderly woman, to collections for payment of services that her DAUGHTER received.

My mother isn't even a patient of Dr. Warr and has NEVER been a patient!!  I find it absolutely deplorable that anyone could stoop to the level of harassing a senior citizen for payment of services he provided for her daughter. 

This dentist sent several threatening collection letters attempting to enforce some sort of verbal arrangement, and then proceeded to assign my sister's account to a collection agency in MY MOTHER'S NAME, so that the collection agency could  continue harassing my mother (a senior citizen) by illegally extort money from her.  Well, following collection laws, the collection agency was notified to "validate" this alleged debt, and of course,  they were unable to provide proof that this is a valid debt.

This deplorable and abusive tactic needs to be known by all who may consider this dentist. It is pathetically sad that a professional would attempt to extort money from a vulnerable elderly woman simply because he feels he cannot receive payment from his patient.

He was even notified in writing that he should cease all attempts to collect from my mother, and to please contact the actual patient.  The least he could do is send the patient to collections, and not her elderly mother who has NOTHING to do with the services received. But no, he is obviously attempting to collect from whomever he believes will be easiest to collect from.

This is senior citizen harassment at it's most despicable level. Absolutely disgusting. I would find another dentist in Waterford, MI.  This Waterford, MI dentist cares little about following legal billing procedures.
