Is Designed Receivable Solutions a Scam?

Designed Receivable Solutions (also known as Design Billing Solutions) is a legitimate debt collection agency that has been in business since 1997. Unfortunately, it has built up many negative reviews and consumer complaints over this time. For example:

• The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has recorded 48 complaints within the last three years
• Google Reviews gave them 1.3/5 stars, with 30 reviews
• WalletHub Ratings scored 2.5/5 from 8 written reviews

Though they may have these unfavorable ratings, they are not a scam - so it's essential to take debt collection seriously and consider all possible outcomes by conducting your own research on the debt, checking your credit report, and being mindful of what you say to debt collectors on the phone.

How Can I Contact Designed Receivable Solutions?

If you get a call regarding a hospital bill that you believe your insurance already took care of, it's essential to check your credit report and reach out to Designed Receivable Solutions.

In order to contact them, you can use one of the following methods:

• Phone Number: 1-800-518-7650
• Website: www.drsi360.com
• Mailing Address: 10833 Valley View Street #415, Cypress, CA 90630

Although it's necessary to communicate with debt collectors, be careful when doing so. They are not trying to be your friend, and their primary goal is collecting money from you by any means necessary - always record interactions, know your rights, and never admit owing the debt until it has been validated.

Why is Designed Receivable Solutions Calling Me? 

Depending on the circumstances, they may be calling you to collect a debt on behalf of one of their clients. However, in other cases, the phone call could be the result of false or inaccurate information.

With that in mind, Designed Receivable Solutions may be contacting you for various reasons. Some of the most common ones include:

• Medical debt

They typically collect medical debts for hospitals, clinics, and private practitioners. This could be why they're trying to collect an unpaid medical bill from you.

• Consumer debt

They may also collect consumer debt, such as credit card debt or personal loans. If you have an outstanding debt with a bank or a credit card company, they may try to contact you about this.

• Identity theft

Designed Receivable Solutions may be calling you about a debt that isn't yours if you've been a victim of identity theft. Make sure you check your credit report for any such debts and take steps to dispute them if necessary.

• Mistaken identity

They could be calling by mistake if they have mistaken you for someone else with the same name or social security number - inform them of their error in this case and provide the correct information to avoid further calls.

If ever in doubt about why Designed Receivable Solutions or any other debt collector is contacting you, make sure to ask questions and validate the debt yourself. The law requires them to provide certain information regarding it, such as the name of the original creditor, and the amount owed- verify these details before proceeding further. 

Lastly, protect your rights by consulting an FCRA attorney if there are any suspicions that they're contacting you illegally.

Who Does Designed Receivable Solutions, Inc Collect For?

Designed Receivable Solutions mainly collects medical debt for hospitals, clinics, private practitioners, and other healthcare providers.

However, it's important to note that they may also collect for different industries, including telecommunications, utilities, banking, credit cards, and more.
