    Default Medical Bills in my father's name

    My father visited us for six months and unfortunately just a week before he was supposed to fly back to India he had an heart attack. We admitted him to a hospital and he was hospitalized for 3 days after having a surgery. The hospital bill is $70K and it is coming in my father’s name. I have not signed anywhere in any document in the hospital.
    Now he has left to India but the bills are coming to my home address. Before leaving he has sent a letter to the hospital requesting them to negotiate the amount but they didn’t bother and now they have sent it to the collection agency.

    My question is what do we do with the bills? Should we call them and say he has left for India and give him his India address?? Please help

    Default Debt Collectors

    It is often difficult to reach debt collectors by phone. The better approach is probably to send them written notice that your father does not live at that address and in fact lives in India, while keeping a copy of the correspondence for your records. Your letter should also request that they stop contacting you.
