Common Questions About Medical Debt & Your Rights
What rights do I have when a debt collector contacts me about a medical bill?
You are protected by federal laws like the FDCPA and state laws like the TDCA. These laws prohibit debt collectors from harassment, using false or misleading statements, and engaging in unfair practices. You have the right to be treated with respect and to verify that the debt is actually yours.
What should I do if I receive a medical bill that represents the wrong amount?
Act immediately. Contact the medical provider to request an itemized bill and inquire about the discrepancy. If the issue is not resolved, you have the right to dispute the debt in writing. Creditor Strike Legal PC can assist in drafting these disputes to ensure they are legally sound.
Can a medical debt collector keep calling me after I tell them to stop?
No. Under the FDCPA and TDCA, once you send a written "cease and desist" letter, the collector must stop communicating with you, with very few exceptions (such as notifying you of a lawsuit). If they continue to call, they may be breaking the law.
How do I know if a medical debt collector is acting illegally?
Red flags include calling you before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m., using profane language, threatening you with arrest, lying about the amount you owe, or contacting your friends and family about your debt.
Can I be sued for unpaid medical bills?
Yes, creditors can sue you for unpaid medical debt. If you receive notice of a lawsuit, it is critical to respond promptly. Ignoring it can lead to a default judgment against you. We can help you understand your defense options.
What is the Statute of Limitations on medical debt in Texas?
In Texas, the statute of limitations for debt collection is generally four years from the date of the last activity on the account. After this period, a creditor legally cannot sue you to collect the debt, though they may still attempt to contact you.
How does the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) help me?
The FDCPA is a federal law designed to protect you from abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices. It gives you the right to dispute debts and dictates how and when collectors can contact you.
What is the Texas Debt Collection Act (TDCA)?
The TDCA is a specific Texas state law that mirrors many federal protections but applies to a broader range of debt collectors. It outlines strict rules on what collectors can and cannot do when operating within Texas.
Can medical debt ruin my credit score?
It can negatively impact it, but you have rights. The credit bureaus must report accurate information. If the debt is incorrect or clearly invalid, you can dispute it under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). We assist clients in cleaning up their credit reports regarding medical debt.
What is the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) regarding medical billing?
The DTPA protects consumers against false, misleading, and deceptive acts. If a medical provider misrepresents the cost of services or engages in "unconscionable" billing practices, they may be in violation of the DTPA, giving you grounds for legal action.
Can Creditor Strike Legal PC help if a collection agency has already contacted me?
Yes. We can step in at any stage—whether you just received your first confusing hospital bill, have a collection agency calling you daily, or are facing a lawsuit.
Why should I hire a lawyer instead of handling this myself?
Medical billing codes and debt collection laws are complex. A lawyer can navigate these legal processes, negotiate directly with creditors for a better settlement, and represent you in court, significantly increasing your chances of a favorable outcome.
