Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York

Re: Non-profit hospital owes me for services provided

You can sue them (in New York) and obtain a judgment for the amount remaining due you plus accrued interest at 9% per annum, plus some of the court costs you must pay. If you need assistance call my office at 1-718-788-7825.

Re: Non-profit hospital owes me for services provided

I'm confused about the NY/VT split. I'll assume the hospital is in NY and you are in VT.

You need to sue the hospital. The clerk of the court probably has a clerk who's assigned to "pro se" matters and can help you fill out forms. You should take a look at section 3016(f) of the Civil Practice Law & Rules. This section allows you to attach an itemized statement of what you did for them. If they answer the complaint, they have to state in detail what it is they are taking issue with--whether the services were rendered, their quality, or their value. Amazing as it sounds, most deadbeats and their attorneys just "deny" the allegation of the complaint that refers to the itemized statement. When they do that, they lose the case: you move for summary judgment and they have no basis for opposing that motion.

I know this sounds complicated. Here's an idea: call a small neighborhood law office, the kind that does personal injury work. Most PI attorneys will happily take on "paying" work, and so long as you make sure they invoke CPLR 3016(f) correctly, you should do well.
