rahma70513 Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 I have had one settled medical account paid 80% to OC. I have a written proof of that. I paid it through a CC. Now after a month got a letter today from NCO asking to pay other 20%. I am in TX and just wondering what should I do. Thanks, Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retmar Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Write them a very stern letter that clearly shows the debt is paid in full and include a copy of the OC letter that confirms this. Advise them that any further action will result in your filing a HIPPAA complaint and lawsuit against them. Demand they close, delete, and go eat Maggot Droppings.

anti-something Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 and check the link in my sig to the texas version of the FDCPA, very useful info. also as its medical, study HIPPA and also in the TX codes under 'Civil Practice and Remedies' you will find what type of medical bills are uncollectable.

Methuss Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Don't forget that the simple act of trying to collect on a debt that does not exist (settled) is FRAUD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

credithelp Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 If you pay a settlement to a creditor you no longer legally owe them anything and they will never win in court. I would fight them on it since they are in violation of the law. The only chance where you would owe anything after a debt has been settled is owing taxes on it but that usually doesnt happen since people are usually insolvent just before they go into a settlement.
