I just realized that I referenced the HIPAA letter innacurately. I do not know if it is on his CRA.
Should I just DV the attorney?
If it is an unknown medical account and is over 4 years old, then you can send the CA this:
http://whychat.5u.com/ltrcavalhipaa.htmlIf it is on his reports, there is a follow up letter to dispute it off.
If it is UNDER 4 years old and for any substantial amount, and MAY be his, and is on his reports as "medical" then you should send the medical dispute letter ( after opting out and deleting old addresses)
http://whychat.5u.com/hipaadisp.htmlIt is a good idea to send this FIRST anyway, as it might resolve the problem, however if it is under 4 years old you MIGHT be sued, so if it is verified you should PAY it to the OC ( after you get full verification from the medical dispute letter) with the HIPAA letter insert "a".
This advice ONLY applies to medical accounts that are NOT from a hospital or ambulance service, as THOSE accounts have NO "SOL" and should be paid as soon as verified to the OC with the HIPAA letter insert "a", even if they are over 4 years old.
