My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: New York
A collections agency recently purchased the debt from a hospital claiming my mother had money owed for. They gave her a settlement offer for about 50% of the amt. Are there any fears of me paying off her debt using my own credit card in this one instance where they can pursue me for future debts my mother may incur? Are there any instance of a second (lower) settlement offer if this first settlement offer is rejected? Thank you in advance.
