Being Sued For Medical Debt From When I Was A Minor
Location: Michigan
Background info: medical debt of $9k+ from when I was ages 16-17. My mother failed to provide proper insurance information to the hospital. I’m 22 now.
I have been being straight up harassed over this debt since I turned 18. I’ve repeatedly told them that I was a minor at the time the debt was dated for – I was careful with my wording and never took responsibility for it. The calls and letters would stop for a few months and then it would be passed off to different debt collectors, back to the hospital, back to another debt collector, etc etc.
As far as I know, I’m not responsible for this debt, because I was a minor. Despite this and all the communications, I came home from work tonight to a district county officers business card taped to my door, and found that they’ve opened a lawsuit against me over this debt.
How should I handle this from here? I’ve always followed advice I read regarding the collections side of it, but I have no clue how to proceed now that they’re suing me over it.
