Laura Henegar Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 My two medical bills are over 12 years old. When the statute of limitations was up at 10 years they went back to court to re-file them for another 10 years. The problem is the creditor has no proof that I even owe these two bills. How can they place a lean on my property with out having proof that I owe these medical bills? HELP.....What is the law for creditors on having proof that bills are owed? What do they have to have to show that I owe this money? The hospital doesn't even have any kind of records showing these bills. But they can still place a lean on the title to my home with no proof.

Recovering Attorney Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Bills or judgments? Sounds like there was a judgment against you already. Judgments are liens on real property, but the liens sometimes expire and so the creditor has to get a court order extending them. That's what it sounds like happened here.

Laura Henegar Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 They started with Judgments. Well I know for sure on the first bill. Then once the 10 years was up,they took it back to court for another 10 years. That's were I brought the proof that the hospital doesn't show any bills. But the judge told me this isn't the time and agreed to take it another 10 years. Now, they have placed the lean on my property and I didn't even find out till I was trying to re-finance my home. I was never notified in any way. The second bill that was $800.00 now totals $4100.00 b/c of court cost and intrest. That bill I was never told about or notified of and they never took it back to court to have it reinstated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
