Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
Does he have to pay ambulance fee?
My friend received a letter from a collection agency demanding the payment for an ambulance fee from four years ago. He doesn't think he is obligated to pay, because of the following reasons.
1) The hospital never sent a demand letter since they sent the first and last letter four years ago.
2) He was mistakenly forced to put in the ambulance by a police officer who assured him that the ambulance fee will not incur when he had a little spat with his ex-lover who called the police.
Is there any way for him to get away from this?

Re: Does he have to pay ambulance fee?
You may not have to pay if there is no written agreement with the ambulance company. We need to review your letter. You may have a claim under the Fair Debt Collection Act. Please contact us if you have any questions or need assistance.

If the debt is not based on a judgment, then the 2 year statute of limitation for oral agreements has run. Feel free to have your friend contact me tomorrow or during the week.
