Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Indiana

In Sept.2012 my mother passed away, no estate, only asset was a jt ckg acct with me. In nursing home from 5/12-death. At death home stated no money was due; 11/2012 they refunded me a check ($184) to close her acct. April 2014 I was contacted by collection agency on their behalf owing over $1400. Home stated that they did tell me no money was due, they did refund, they did not send statements (person in charge of acct was fired) in the past 18 months & they turned me into collections. One person at home had stated 'not to worry, I will make it go away'; then apologized it was not done at the next phone call; next call asked for the internal email from the home from 11/2012 where one employee instructed another to write me a check to close the account, the next phone call I was advised by another party at the home stating they were no longer allowed to talk to me, just deal with collection company & pay (their amount was different). After a year I had started cleaning out files & throwing my dec'd mom's papers as I felt it was no longer necessary to keep. With no contact after 18 months, no statements sent, and the last document being a refund sent to me, is right to turn me into collection agency

It probably isn't right, but you can't fix this problem by yourself. Take it to an attorney to resolve the issue for you.
