Hi Baci. If this is a hospital......some states have no SOL.......but SOL applies to other medical bills.
IMO all medical bills should be paid.
The CAs are reporting the date that the were assigned or bought the account. All report dates even if it were yesterday are correct! They can not chang the DOFD or DOLA.
The DOFD or DOLA would be the month after you received service.If you received treatment on 1/2000 DOLA would be 1/2000 DOFD would be 2/2000 or up to 180 days from 2/2000.
This would drop from CR & years from that date.
Your SOL usually goes by DOLA or the actual date that you were treated or service.
IF you are within SOL they can file a lawsuit any time up to the Last day of the month before SOL is past.
A DV should always be sent to any CA
If past SOL you would still send a DV some will delete after a fight & they know that they can not collect.
After DV If they answer it within 30 days you can then try a PFD but never before they answer the DV with complete answers.
DV are always sent CMRRR
Do NOT sign any letters to a CA!!!!!!! just type your name
DV the first CA...Commonwealth Usually because they stopped reporting the assignment was cancelled & turned over to a second CA..........send DV to them CMRRR they should delete if not wais & see if they answer within 30 days.
