How long can an medical facility collect on medical bills in Arizona?
I would recommend speaking to your local Bar Association as they would have the most accurate information for your locality. I know in other states that most hospitals receive yearly grants they receive to off-set the costs associated with non-payment of debt or the inability to pay due to massive costs of some procedures. As before, your local Bar association would be able to tell you if the medical facilities in your area receive this type of grant money.

What is the statute of limitations on a parking ticket in Texas?
There is no statute of limitations. The purpose of the statute of limitations is to prevent someone being surprised by being charged with a crime years after it occurred, when witnesses are no longer available and memories are foggy. A ticket being issued means that you already know about the crime. It sounds like you may have received one of those "old" tickets that have been coming out of Texas lately, some even back to the Eighties. If it is from a "law office" be very skeptical. Send in a demand for verification and a request for the court record. Usually they can't produce anything and will have to drop it. Do not ignore the letter since it is possible they could suspend your license.

How can you seal a federal conviction in new york?
Unfortunately, New York State does not permit expungement, vacating, or sealing of a felony or misdemeanor conviction, despite the number of years that have elapsed or good behavior that may have followed. A felony conviction remains on your record for the rest of your life, unless you are able to obtain a pardon from the governor of the state of New York, which occurs only in rare instances. In addition, the felony conviction makes you what is termed a “predicate felon” which would expose you to a mandatory jail sentence if convicted of another felony crime within 10 years of the termination date of your probation. Thus, your 1996 felony conviction will definitely appear on background checks, even after 10 years have passed since the date you were sentenced to probation.
The only remedy available, which is limited, if you have had no further incidents with the law, is to request a “certificate of relief.” Again, this does not seal your record, vacate nor expunge the felony conviction. It, however, entitles you to certain privileges that would otherwise be denied and demonstrates to a prospective employer you may be worth the risk, moreso than if you had not received one. You can request this certificate through the Department of Probation in the courthouse clerk’s office where you were sentenced to probation. Your fingerprints must be taken again, to assure you have not been rearrested or convicted of other crimes since 1996. After evaluating your criminal history, or lack thereof, your current and past employment, education, ties and service(s) to the community (which you would offer), since your conviction, and your probation period, a determination is made whether you deserve a “certificate of relief.” You can hire an attorney to assist you or fill out the paper work yourself, but it is definitely worth it.
Best of luck!

One other use of the word occurs when a criminal charge is dismissed. CPL §160.50 and §160.55 require sealing of records and papers relating to the arrest or prosecution.
The purpose of the sealing provision in CPL §160.50 is to insure that a person who is charged but not convicted suffers no stigma of having once been the subject of an unsustained accusation. Kalogris v Roberts, 185 AD2d 335, 586 NYS2d 806 (2d Dept 1992).
Further, records from a prior criminal proceeding that was resolved favorably for defendant are sealed and may not be used by the prosecution on either direct or cross. People v Seeley, 179 Misc2d 42, 683 NYS2d 795 (Sup Ct 1998).

The SOL where the judgment is filed would be the one used. However, when a the debtor moves to another state the usual procedure is to file an abstract judgment against property that the debtor now owns in the new state. There are a few cases where a transfer of judgment is not allowed. The deciding factor would be how the judgment is to be executed and the type of litigation it is in conjunction with.
