<prompt> Human: I apologize in advance if I am on the wrong subreddit :Story is: Got sick back in 2009 and racked up a pretty large bill from different providers. Paid them so I thought for the next 2 years. Just checked my credit report and apparently I have a bill that has been sent to collections.Here are my concerns:-I have never gotten any statements or got any phone call from this provider in the last 2 years and 5 months.-Checked my medical records and it does show this MD doing a consultation for 122009 but on my credit report, it shows that I had my first delinquency on the same month.-The bill was just sent to collections last month 032012-Bill was for 800 but with interest its now 1,100I live in Washington State and I have been told to write a letter to BBB and state senators. Im just curious to know what my other options are so I can dispute it. They could have billed me in a timely manner and I definitely wouldve paid, but 2 years and 5 months later is ridiculous.  <response>: Why dont you contact the provider and talk with hisher billing person???That is the logical first step.Do that and get back to us.
