    Default Re: Are Their Time Limits for a Creditor to Notify a Debtor of a Debt

    The hospital doesn't have to give you anything or notify you of anything. It was up to you to follow up with your bills and find out the status.

    What the heck is wrong with calling up and asking: "What is the status of my bills? May I have a printout?"

    Burying your head in the sand doesn't make things go away.
    Wow. I concur things wont go away by burying my head in the sand. Would you recommend I contact the trash collector, lawn care service and exterminator and make sure I met our agreement even though they no longer bill me or does this advice only apply to hospitals?

    Prior to April 2017, as I stated above the hospital would have said I owed them nothing. The adjustments were made in April of 2017.
    Was I a debtor to the hospital between 10/15 to 3/17?

    The "time limit" would be the state's statue of limitations for enforcement of a contract, six years.

    Note that if you carry insurance, and this is a participating provider, they will typically have a much shorter period of time to submit their revised claim to your insurance company, with a common consequence of missing that deadline being that they cannot collect the late-claimed balance.
    Yes The hospital appears to have revised and resubmitted the bill to the insurance company. And is now trying to get from me the difference. I honored the original agreement. Doesn't another agreement/contract need to be made before they just turn me back into a debtor? The statute of limitation should not apply to the initial contract once it is honored no "enforcement" was needed.
    Thank you
