Q: Company keeps sending me bills for account which is fully paid. Won't stop, can I sue for harassment?
They keep sending me a bill for durable medical device my medical insurance has paid in full. I have called multiple times and have written letters providing the proof it has been paid & asking them to stop harassing me and they will not stop.
A: You're writing from NV but posting to FL, so it's likely that this will be seen only by FL lawyers, who cannot comment on NV law (without researching it). Also, I assume you mean the company that sold the device, not a collection agent for the company (which triggers a different set of laws). As far as FL law: If your only problem is getting bills in the mail that you can simply disregard, no, you would not have a ground for a lawsuit. If you have some problem beyond that, such as an entry on your credit report, then yes, you may bring a claim. In the case of false credit report, the claim would be for slander of credit.
