    Unhappy Medical Debt in Oklahoma

    My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: Oklahoma

    I currently have a debt in Oklahoma that shows to be $420. I also have one that is close to $8000. I went into the emergency room do to an attempted suicide around 3 in the morning. I was under heavy medication and left the same day around noon. This was in march of 05. In order for me to be released I signed some papers. I have very little recollection of those papers. I had taken alot of pain medication. *500 aspirin, 60 muscle relaxers and a ton of alcohol. It is now sept of 09. The larger bill was on my credit, but was taken off by the help of a credit repair company, the other is still on there. I called the company that is showing the $420 and they say they are not a collection company, but the billing company for the hospital. The date the collection on my credit report is showing may 2005, not the date that I was in the hospital.

    My first question is, since I was under alot of medication, would there be something that says since I was under the influence and due to mental anguish that it wasnt legal to sign a contract?

    Next would be when I called the hospital to find out who I needed to speak with about the 420 bill said they cant find in their records where I owe the 420 and that they have changed companies four or five times.

    So what should I do if the hospital shows no record of the bill, only the billing company/Ca?

    Should I do anything about the bill that the hospital has (8,000) since its not showing on my credit reports, only at the hospital?Ive had one collection agency call in the last year, but its not being reported. SHould I worry about them?

    Did my SOL start on the date I was put into the hospital, or the date that the CA/billing office is saying that the deliquency began?

    Default Re: Medical Debt in Oklahoma

    You needed medical care. You get to pay for it. If you want to work out some sort of payment deal with the hospital, call and try to work it out. If a collection agency calls you about a debt to the hospital, and the hospital claims to have no record that you owe the debt (even though you do), make a timely demand on the collection agency to verify the debt and see what happens. I am not going to guess as to whether or when you may have made a payment on the debt; if you have made any payment whatsoever, expect that the statute started to run on that date.
