Need Help with Medical Bill
I’m hoping someone out there can help. I was recently served with a summons for a medical bill. This all started when I noticed an unfamiliar collection agency on my credit report. I sent them a request for validation. They sent me a 7 page document, 3 pages of credit validation laws, the other pages were a breakdown of charges for an emergency room visit for my daughter. My ex-wife had taken her to the emergency room and the ex used her insurance for the charges, my name appears no where on the paperwork, only my daughter’s name and my ex-wife’s name appear. Two days later I was served with a summons for the medial bill. I received advice that I should answer the summons and also file a counter suit to keep the law firm from selling the debt. I have written a general answer, but I’m having some trouble with my affirmative defenses and the counter suit. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I’ve attached the summons and a copy of what I have so far for the court. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
