What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio (debt incurred) Illinois (current resident)
I recently discovered a 6-year-old debt from a hospital visit that occurred just before I moved out of state, when I was between insurance policies (a 12 hour gap). The Ohio statute of limitations is either 6 years or 15 years, depending on the type of debt. I am posting in order to figure out:
1. What is the statute of limitation on this nature of debt?
2. Will this be eliminated from my credit record at 7 years if left unpaid?
3. Can I be sued for this debt/are they legally allowed to continue pursuing me to collect on the debt?
4. Does my out-of-state move affect the statute of limitations, i.e. does Ohio law apply of Illinois law?
Thank you for taking the time to read my query! The bill is large enough that paying it off would be a burden at my current income level. Please let me know if further information is needed!
