A company can send you to collections as soon as the account becomes past due. If you have billing disputes, they must be done in a timely manner (usually within 30 days) and they must be done in writing.
The medical provider can legally take such action. They are not required to notify the debtor that they are sending the outstanding debt to collections.
Any company, including a gym, can send a bill to collections if money is owed. If you pay the bill, the collection will be taken off your record.
Yes.
It depends really on what type of phone, and phone company you have. Certain companies contain sending pictures = more tax on to your phone bill.
i can negotiate with customers who owe money to your company this helps them from going flat broke or bankrupt by doing this collections i will be a asset to your company and i will be profitable to this company . i can use my professional expertise to get customers to pay their bills so that they wont owe any more to your company by giving them a payment agreement making sure that if they cant afford to pay the full debt that they can pay what they have until the bill is fully paid for.
Unless you are on the bill the company is not entitled to payment from you. The estate of your husband should handle this. If there are no monies in the estate you dont pay them for something you didnt take on.
I don't know where you are in this. But, If the bill is disputed, you can request verification of the items or charges on the disputed bill. Then you can dispute directly with the collection agency and the original company about the invalid charges on the bill. If they state that the charges stand, or don't do anything other than re-sending the same bill stating that they have verified the bill (actually most do this), then you have the right to fire the collections agency. Send a Cease and Desist notice to the Collections Agency, this will force the original company to deal with you directly or go to another collections agent. If you never received a bill, but you agree to the charges without the interest, then you can contact the company that originally billed you, and see if they are willing to take a payoff of the bill in full minus the interest. If they are willing to do that payoff with out interest, then that would be the best way to go. However if they insist on the interest explain that since no bill was sent to you until you received the collections notice, and that you should not have to pay interest due to this very fact. Explain to them it is as much their fault, as it is yours, and in meeting in the middle it is a win/win situation. They get the principle amount, and you off their books, and you of course are able to go on with your life with no more collectors after you. Whenever you send a check for a payment in full, always note this fact on the memo field of the check. If they cash the check, then they cannot come after you for the interest involved in the account. Just keep a copy of that check for your records. I am not a laywer, but I have had to deal with situations like this personally and also through friends.. So please check with a Lawyer first, or do your own due diligence.

At its discretion, the medical biller will report to one or more credit reporting agencies that the debt has gone to collections. The collections agency will report it, as well - also at their discretion. You can negotiate for payment with the collections agency.
If the bill collector refused the payment, you can inform them that you made the payment to the original company and request that they update your account accordingly. Keep documentation of the payment made to the original company in case any disputes arise. It's important to communicate clearly with both parties to ensure your payment is properly accounted for and reflected in your records.
Many libraries still have it in their collections
Yes, especially if the arrangement is with a debt collection agency and not the original company. That you're paying the bill is good, but the history of having trouble paying it and the bill going into collections will be reported on your credit history.
