Q: Is there a statue of limitations for collections from TN AG’s office. I never received a bill & 2018 is the last year
On Saturday, Nov 23, 2024 I received a letter from AG’s office in TN saying I owed them over 80k. The last year I had interaction with them is during an inquiry by the TN medical license board regarding false allegations of over prescribing opioids. I had practiced for 33 years when the hospital I worked for was contacted that I would be the subject of their inquiry. They fired me without any notice after a lifetime of commitment to goodly healthcare from which they profited greatly. I contacted in an atty in Jan. 2017 & he represented me over the half of the inquiry & depositions before having a heart attack 10-17. We weren’t able to find anyone to represent me until early 2018. The new Atty. did absolutely nothing to defend me at my hearings allowing the prosecution to admit evidence that three judges found inadmissible. By the third hearing my license was suspended. Nov 2018. We lost everything. Why do I owe this money. What is this bill six years later
A: Not sure of what the $ 80K alleged debt is for, so I cannot give you a SOL, There is a 10 yr catch all SOL, but if criminal costs are involved, it may be part of a sentence. But you do have Exemption Rights, which you might need to assert by Notice Of Exempt Properties if CH 7 Bankruptcy is not a good option. If you are in MI, a TN Judgment has to be first recognized there before any type of execution.
