i have been sent to collections. the ca has lumped all my bills togather under one account number. these are hospital bills that i have been sent to collections for and there are 10 seperate acct numbers and 10 seperate balances And 10 seperate dates of service. some are dating back to 1992. I asked the ca if i do send in a payment to these do i have to write each account number on the check as to reference what iam paying and she said that no i could just write one number ( just pick one) that they just lump them all togather to make it easy for them to trake these when people call in. so they have lumped all these togather not the hospital. I know some of these bills are past the sol in our state so iam guessing that they lump them togather so that if you do make a payment you are opening the sol on the older bills (sound right?) I was making payments to the hospital all alongh but they where not applying my payments to the oldest bills. and by the way not any of these has ever shown up on my credit report anyone have any input on this? i really would like to know if it is legal for a ca to lump them altoghther
