My wife has been paying on a medical collection since 2008. We were under the impression that the collection agency was collecting for the hospital. We were led to believe this through conversations over the years. I know, dont talk to those bastards. Water under the bridge. We were sent a demand letter earlier this year and a statement with all the interest accrued. WOW!!! Since then we have gotten into a pissing match and as of Saturday have bee sued by the collection agency. The account number is there for the hospital. I was able to log on line and actually make a payment on the account. 10.00. However, there is no payment history on that account. All the way back to 2008. So I contacted accounts receivable at the hospital today and boy did I get the run around. I could not get a straight answer from them whether the account was open or closed. She just kept reading the company line" contact the collection company". I'm kinda at a loss as to where the account stands. We have been making payments to the collection company for the last 8 years. I have an appointment with an attorney on Wednesday. I was hopping someone could shed a little light for me.
Thank You
