My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: Massachusetts
I had visitors medical insurance for my mother and I took her to the ER room at a hospital. A large part of the bill remains unpaid by the insurance. I, her son, is listed as a contact on that insurance. I also signed on her medication forms in the hospital and I am listed as next of kin and a contact person in the hospital. They are telling me that it is my responsibility to pay thoes medical bills else my credit history will be hampered. They are also telling me that I am the Guarantor of the bills. They said that the collection agency can pursue me. (Unpaid portion around 1500 USD)
Are there observations correct ? I have not signed as a guarantor, am I laible to pay thoes bills - Will that effect my credit history?
Please point me to any pointers. Any inputs are great,
Thanks,
debg
