If you paid a collection agency in 2004 for a hospital bill you never received in 2000 in Florida and the hospital has resold the same debt to another collection agency in 2007 what can you do?
You get a letter from the paid collection agency and send it as proof of payment to the new agency. In the mean time, you call the new agency and dispute the claim of debt. If they receive the letter and still harrass you, then you have the right to sue and turn their neames over to the BBB. This is only if you paid in full. If you settled, then the next agency can try to get the unpaid amount. Remember, there is a 4 year period on medical bills. After that, they can't collect, unless the hospital revitalized your account.
