hospital bill
by Jan
(Salem, Oregon)
My husband was out of state and since he is the only one in the family who doesn't have health insurance he found it necessary to go to the ER. I submitted information to hospital to try to get help with the bill but apparently not all of it arrived in time and so the bill went into collections. I was not with him so I did not sign my name on any documents. We are a family of eight and currently struggling economically. I have an excellent credit score myself individually and am very concerned about keeping my score so that when we do get into a better situation we would be able to buy another home. I live in Oregon. My question is: Why is my name now on this bill? Is this legal? Is there a way to remove my name from this debt?
Thank you,
Jan
