Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

I was improperly charged $720 dollars by a dentist office about a year ago. that bill has since gone to a collection agency. The dentist keeps telling me they will reverse the charge and get it off my credit report but nothing has happened so far. Can i sue them to get the bill reversed and off my credit report. Would I be entitled to any other money for damages or harassment or something?

Your better course of action would be to send the collection a written demand that they verify the debt. That will force them to go back to the dentist, and should force the dentist to then confirm the debt is no good. If that doesn't work, then both the dentist and the collection agency can be sued for violation of fair debt collection laws.
