    Sent to Collections Even if Making Monthly Payments
    My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: Wisconsin

    Our hospital bill balance is $1500. We've been paying $100/month faithfully each month. I get a call from a collection agency saying they are now handling our account, even though our $100 check was cashed 10 days prior to the call.

    The hospital says the $100 is not enough, that the bill should have been paid in full. There was also NO warning (phone or mail) that they were sending us to collections.

    Can they send us to collections if we are paying a reasonable amount ($100)each and every month? The bill is from May '09 from an ER visit. We've already paid over $1000 towards the balance.

    Any feedback is appreciated.

    Yes, they're allowed to do that.

    They're under no obligation to accept your terms of repayment.
