Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Louisiana
Statue of limitation on old bill
I medical doctor says he didnt bill us for a procedure 2 years ago. Now he sent us a bill. I don't know for sure if we paid him or not. I think I remember having to pay the coopay before the procedure. But not 100% sure. This seems too long ago to be asking for it anyway. Should we pay? He is saying he'll give us 30% off if we pay within 30 days.

Re: Statue of limitation on old bill
The statute of limitations is 3 years. However, since you indictated you may have paid it, I would send a letter asking for proof of the debt.
Is the letter from your doctor or a collection agency?
