COPC are an absolute nightmare. I have never encountered more incompetence in my entire life: the receptionists are rude, the billing department is prehistoric (if not an outright scam), and the miscommunication is rampant
When COVID-19 hit I was behind on payments and had to stop my monthly appointments. They did not approve of this and would hound me to make appointments (without my employers insurance that meant these appointments would be 100$ each. Mind you this was a 5-10 minutes face-time appointment where almost nothing was discussed).
I was balancing on around 400$ of backed up payments and decided to sign up with a payment plan. I have a recording of this phone call where I gave away sensitive information including my credit card to these guys and was told I couldn't make my payments on the 1st and was told to pay on the 5th. I said okay, and then waited for the payment. Nothing went through without my knowledge, and nothing was communicated (exactly opposite to what my first call assured me would not happen: "We will call you or email you if your payment isn't received" is the statement I was given). I was then ejected from the plan with a final notice mail I received on the 23rd.
When I called to get this sorted out, I was told "you must pay in full or we refer you to a collection agency there are no other options"
