Q: I have a debt incurred by W Comps lack of payment, last visit was 6/5/2001
I have had no letters or anything it was posted on my credit and now is not. 7/8/2011 I recieved a letter from an atty. regarding repayment.
I told them W.Comp paid the bills and then stopped, it was between the PT and WC due to WC paying them directly, they knew full well when the payments stopped and continued to treat me.
Is the length of time a factor in this letter of repayment over 10 years?

A: If your work comp case was settled you need to look at the settlement contract and see if there was an agreement to pay. If you never settled your case, you should contact the attorney that handled it for your or someone like me who handles plaintiff side work comp case and also defends people from debt collection cases. Just because comp stopped paying does not mean that the PT place is not entitled to the billing. In certain circumstances also if work comp denied then if you had a health insurance policy and submitted bills they can be covered on there.
