Fraudulent Account

[Green1108]

Alabama - I received a collection notice in the mail from a company that represents a hospital that me ex-wife takes our children to. We have been divorced for two years. Our divorce agreement states that she is to pay for the health insurance for our children. Any medical expenses not covered by insurance is to be split 50/50 between me and her. She is to pay the expense and then send me a statement/request for reimbursement. The collection notice refers to a bill/statement from a hospital that has the account in my name with our old address. The bill/statement is for treatment back in April 2009. My ex-wife obviously set this account up with this hospital under my name without my notice or approval. This is a fraudulent act. What is my legal recourse? Can I press charges against her?

Call the hospital and ask how they got your name for one. They may have just mailed BOTH parents. It doesn't mean SHE did ANYTHING wrong.
