Anything you say to MedCo Services can be used to collect. Protect yourself — avoid these common mistakes on the call.

Your Rights When MedCo Services Calls From 800-753-2851
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) give you real leverage. Here is the debt-validation playbook we use at Crowned Credit.
1. Demand Debt Validation (FDCPA §809)
Within 30 days of first contact, send MedCo Services a written debt-validation letter. They must prove the debt is yours, the amount is right, and they have the legal authority to collect — or stop collecting.
2. Dispute With the Bureaus (FCRA §611)
If Medco Services, Inc. reported a tradeline, dispute it with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. They have 30 days to investigate; unverifiable items must be corrected or deleted.
3. Log the Calls
Write down every call from 800-753-2851: date, time, and what was said. Repeated calls, calls at odd hours, or threats can be FDCPA violations — and leverage for you.
4. Send a Cease-and-Desist
You can demand in writing that Medco Services, Inc. stop calling you entirely. The calls must stop, even though they may still report or pursue other legal steps.
5. Check the Statute of Limitations
Every state limits how long a collector can sue on a debt. If the debt is time-barred, MedCo Services generally cannot win a lawsuit — and a payment could dangerously restart that clock.
6. Know the Anti-Harassment Rules
The FDCPA bars MedCo Services from calling before 8am or after 9pm, threatening you, or lying about the debt. Each violation may entitle you to statutory damages.

That said, scammers do "spoof" the caller ID of well-known collectors like MedCo Services, so the number showing on your screen is not proof of anything.

You are not legally required to answer 800-753-2851 or call Medco Services, Inc. back. In fact, it is usually smarter to say nothing on the phone and instead demand everything in writing.

A call from 800-753-2851 usually means an original medical debt went unpaid and was placed with Medco Services, Inc., which dials this line to collect on the original creditor's behalf. The account may have aged or changed hands more than once, so demand the full paper trail before you accept the balance as accurate.
Can I stop Medco Services, Inc. from calling 800-753-2851?
