what constitutes "validation" of a medical debt and does anyone know statutes/laws/case laws defining it?
Hi Jenz, God news and bad news. Bad news; Judges have a strong tendency to hold Medical Providers in higher regard, thus would have a tendency to find in their favor, not yours. In other words less would be required to rise to the level of validation. Good news; Medical providers are (or at least in my exp., have been) easier to reach a mutually beneficial compromise. In my past, I always found a way to blame it all on them (nicely of course) and then apologize profusely for the "silly misunderstanding", and agree to pay in exch. for deletion. I usually used the old "billing error" concept. The people that want to be sued LEAST are MP's. .
