QUESTION
How do I settle a debt which I am not at fault?
Asked on Nov 29th, 2011 on Collections - New York
More details to this question:
I was rendered a medical service in 2008 and had medical coverage at that time. I recently recieved a letter from the collection agency stating that I owed an amount that the insurance company had not paid the hsopital in 2008 even though I was fully covered.
The hospital does not currently exist as it has gone bankcrupt. I do not know what to do. Why should I pay the debt for no fault of mine?

I will assume that the trustee in bankruptcy for the hospital, or a collection agency/attorney on its behalf is bringing this claim? However, if not, the collection company has no authority. You should consult with local counsel and discuss this issue in detail.
