My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: NC
I have a c-section scheduled for next week and received a letter in the mail today discussing what was owed and what I have to pay before I can be admitted for the c-section. There is one hospital in town. What they are stating I have to pay is from old accounts with them, going back as far as 2003. The more recent ones I was aware of and am working to pay them off but the old ones, I had no idea I had anything going that far back. My question is, what is the statute of limitations on medical/hospital bills in the state of NC? I don't have $12000 to pay within one week. Any thoughts?
