Are you sure about that 4 year thing? Cause they put it on my credit report and I was told it would be on there for 7 - 10 years!!! They keep calling my work number and hanging up cause they know they aren't legally supposed to harrass you at your place of employment.
Similar situation - this was a bunch of medical bills through Creighton. I applied for financial assistance at the time and was approved, however, these bills had already been sent to collections and they said they could not get them back.
However, at this time time, I also received financial assistance at UNMC and they had also sent bills to collections, but they pulled them back out and applied them to my approval for assistance.
These people keep calling for someone else then hang up when I ask where they are calling from. Then they call back the next day....very ignorant and unprofessional!
They called me about a medical bill from 2006...what!! really!! No contact from anyone until now, no letter or call not even from the dr's office where I go every year for a physical. They just expect me to hand over money now. I really think I paid this bill but how after this long can I prove it. Also, according to NE state law an open account can only be collected on up to 4 yrs. Well I think it's past 4 yrs!!!!

statute of limitations for consumer debt = 4 years. after that, tell the collection agent that YOU will seek damages in court if they proceed to harass you further. Marie is dead wrong ....or is from a collection agency trying to misinform people on this thread.
