u told me months ago u were wrong and in ny its 6 yrs not 4

You can have a lawyer defend you on the basis of SOL, which is 4 years. Are you sure you are being sued?? Have you been served?? If so, you or your lawyer should file an answer that they have no cause of action against you and that their suit is time barred. i liv in NY and he sol in nyc is not 4 years its 6 years. the lawsuit was filed 4 months before the sol would have ended. yes im being sued. Ive been in court meeting with the lawyer and the Judges law clerk for 7 months. If i apple for this charity care thing i have to prove to them my income for the past few years,give them tax returns and pay stubs plus employer info. i checked the charity care site and a max a person can make is 200 % the poverty level which is like 10K i make make more than the max. This is ridiculous. I shouldnt have this bill. the lawyer for the hospital said they have records that i applied for medicaid but was denied in 2005/2006. if i didnt listen to the doc and would have just done an outpatient program for my kidneystone i wopuldnt have this bill. seriously who stays in a hospital for 2 days for a kidneystone. i went to the ER and was told by a doc/social worker that since i dont have healthcare that if they admitted me as an emergency "i wasnt" that medicaid would cover my costs "they didnt" . the surgery was scheduled for the next day , the surgery was pushed back due to the doc not being able to amke it so i had to stay an additional day making it 2 days @ $4500 per day wheni wasnt even in any pain i was just following what the social worker/doc had planned to get my surgery paid for by medicaid. i cant believe this .

Update: the attorney that was supposed to help was unable to because of the passing of his parents which cause all his cases to be pushed back. Ive been going back and fourth since january with the hospitals attorney and at one point they said they would speak to their client about setting on 6k with a payment play ( down from 12k) . then on our last meeting ( July 16th) the attorney said that he client wants a lump sum of 6-7k and no payments. he brought a witness from the hospital who said he would like me to try and apply for " charity care" if approved my 12k would be lowered anywhere from 10 -80% . so i have to contact the witness and apply . if i dont get approved the lawyer said he would continue with the judgement against me and garnish wages and also charge me interest on the 12k that would bring the total to 17 k give or take some. I dont think i would be able to get approve for charity care. in 2005 when this happened i was making $17 hr ($720) weekly and ($500) after taxes as a family of 2 now im making a little more so i dont see how this will help. Im currently at a loss. I dont know what to do.

update i spoke with my mothers attorney who is working on a lawsuit for her and he said he wil help me regarding this issue. I still havent been served and the "complaint" was filed in civil court on 9/16/11. i received a letter in the mail that stated a complaint has been filed against me and i would have to come to the court house to pick up th e complaint. my mothers attorney told me to get the "complaint" from the court house so tomorrow i will be picking it up. the letter says "attention a summons and complaint has been filed on a consumer credit transaction asking the court to render a judgement against you.You may wish to contact an attorney. you must answer at the location and within the specified time on the summons. if you do not appear in court the court may grant a judgement against you.If you have not received the summons go to th civil county court house and bring this letter with you" so tomorrow i will be going down to get whatever they have.Im hoping i wont have to appear in court for this. the Attorney is helping me as a favor and i know hes really busy with other cases. this is what is listed on Ecourts site Court:Bronx County Civil CourtIndex Number:CV-060153-11/BXCase Name:Montefiore Medical Center vs. JosephCase Type:CivilClassification:GeneralFiling Date:09/16/2011Disposition Date:Calendar Number:Jury Demand:NoJudge Name: Attorney/Firm(s) For Plaintiff - Montefiore Medical Center:Arnold A.

I checked e court and the attorney filed the lawsuit on sept 16th the same day he gave to ge my dv in and my dv was sent in and returned to me on like the 11th or 12th. I'm going to contact a lawyer on Monday or I may contact the lawyer for the hospital and see if we can work something out.

just received this in the mail. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y233/JoeyNoX/IMG.jpg

i wish it was in sept 2005 but it was dec 18th and the last date of activity on the account was dec 20th. ;(

Not really. According to the OC rep it was charged off and sent to NBI (CA) in 2006. Never heard from these people. Whn I was contacted in last month it was from POM Recoveries. I was told that a supervisor from the hospital sent my account to them because I couldn't afford $250 permonth. POM Recoveries wanted $300/250 permonth and I told them I couldn't do that. I called back the hospital and "thought" I worked out an agreement (was wrong) and. The CA sent it to an attorney and now the attorney is saying they are working for their client the OC??? I'm so lost. I'm worried about my paycheck & bankaccount Someone I trust would open a bank account for me in her name and I could put my little bit of savings in there but I'm not sure if that's a smart move. Lost lost lost What happened to this whole can't sue you 4yr every state UCC thing everyone has been preaching for weeks?

Now I'm back to square one again. I'm pAying $2300 in monthly bills for me and my g/f, I have to givenmy parents money every week for food,bills because my father had a heart attack and the doctors deemed him unfit to work , and I'm taking care of my 14 year old nephew because his mother can't control him. My girlfriend is very ill, and to pay $300/250 per month I'd have to cancel her health insurance which then would cost me around $500 month in medications so either way now I'm screwed.

The whole reason behind this bill was because I was told by the social worker at the hospital that they could get my surgery cover by Medicaid as long as they admitted me as an emergency. The garenteed me I would qualify. Otherwise I could have gone home and scheduled the surgery myself and only would have paid 3k now I have an 11,700 bill which I only four out in 2010 and this took place in 2005. Apparently I didn't qualify for some reason.

I can't afford to pay $11700 in 1 check nor can I afford to pay $300/250 per month . This is what they want

Here is the letter I received from the lawyer today as a followup to my DV http://i1139.photobucket.com/albums/n544/JoeDiNap/IMG2.jpg The letter states the lawyer is working for his client ( the OC) but the CA told Me they were referring my account to a laywer . Should I call the hospital and ask them if they work with the lawyer? the lawyer sent me an itemized printout of the bill What should I send back as a follow up?

i did that. i called usps and a rep gave told me to have the popst office call them and i will get my money back. the lady would not call and gave me attitude .i filed a complaint against her. i sent out a new one also

the only info on the usps site is that i dropped it off to the post office

i received the return receipt from my dv but theres no signature on it and the onlything written on it is of what i wrote? i hope this letter wasnt lost. this is why the postal service a a joke should i send another certified dv out tomorrow ? my 30 days to dv it is up on friday the 16th next week? <div><br></div><div>update</div><div><br></div><div> called usps and the woman said the only activity she shows is that i dropped it off at the post office. WONDERFUL.!!!! im going to send out another letter tomorrow. i cant believe this </div>
