    Default Medical Bill From a Closed Hospital

    A person has received a hospital bill from nine years ago, at a hospital they had not previously heard of. They tried to contact the hospital, but it has closed. What should they do?

    Default Re: Medical Bill From a Closed Hospital

    The debt is no longer enforceable under the statute of limitations. Between that fact and the fact that the hospital is closed, the person is probably being contacted by a junk debt buyer and they are probably making the contact based upon a name match without much concern for if they are billing the correct person. You can ignore the bill or, if they contact you again, instruct them to stop contacting you.
