I don't know if this is the right place for it, but I'll ask here anyway and maybe make a separate thread somewhere else. BUT...
I received a letter in the mail from an attorney yesterday. It seems I have an unpaid bill from OLOL from 2015. 2015 was a rough year for me and I met my deductible very early, well before this ER visit. I've never received any bills or anything concerning this particular visit. Nothing. Not one. Now, i have a $1700 judgement from an attorney with 33.3% going to the attorney.
frick that. I would have paid $20 a month to the hospital and paid it off saving myself $500. It's already a judgement though. My first notification. I haven't been hard to find, all my other bills sure made their way to my properly forwarded address.
Do I have any recourse or does the slimeball attorney just get his 33.3% no matter what I do?

If it was the hospital doing the demanding, I would suggest go to the business office and demand a copy of each and every letter they sent you in an attempt to collect. Sounds as though they have turned that over to a secondary collector. The secondary collector buys the bad debt for pennies on the dollar and they own the debt and they collect what they can. They are pretty ruthless. I doubt you have much recourse other than legal and that cost you way more than what you owe.

Go to OLOL and ask for a copy of the charges, letters or bills sent in an attempt to collect, any record of your insurance company denying coverage. Also go to your insurance company at the time and get an EOB for the claim. I strongly suspect OLOL either did not file with your insurance or misfiled the claim. At any rate, I would not pay the $1700 until either the attorney or OLOL can prove they have a legitimate claim.
