I have a question for you. I'm an attorney in Kentucky and I had a guy come in asking a similar question to the one above. Essentially he went to the ER several years ago, got fixed up and never paid the bill until it was sent to collections. He has proof from bank statements that he paid it, but lo and behold the debt was sold on to two separate collections agencies in different states who continue to report the amount on his credit report. What is the proper way to confront this? Should I send proof of payment with a demand to remove the debt as being owed and then sue, or just go ahead and sue beforehand? What other damages might we be able to get? What about attorneys fees?
