southgal6 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 My boyfriend checked his credit and found an unpaid medical bill from 11/01. We sent a validation letter, received a copy of the bill, sent a "this is not validation" letter to them and are now awaiting a reply. This is a result of an emergency room visit in Texas during which no one signed any paperwork - he was in a lot of pain and serious pain medication was soon delivered. We now live in Florida. My questions are as follows: 1) TX SOL is 4 years for both written and open; FL is 5 yrs for written and 4 for open. This is obviously not an open account, but he signed nothing. I know that in an emergency, the hospital can act without a signature, but how does this affect the legalities of collection?2) We are moving to SC within the next three months; SC SOL is 3yrs for open and written. How will this effect collections? Does the SOL start all over if we move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southgal6 Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Sorry - the previous posting was on the same inquiry, but a collection agency followed up with the actual bill, not the statement from the medical center with "0.00" due or pending.

southgal6 Posted April 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Well, duh on me! I don't know why I was thinking it went SOL in FL this November - back to remedial math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHateCAs Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 20 months until it falls off his report and out of any possible SOL. Only payment I'd make on that account would be a PFD. Anything else and... well life sucks sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else and... well life sucks sometimes.OK, now I'm confused. What is PFD? Are the 20 months for when it falls off his credit report? Where do the 20 months come from for SOL?
