What is the name of your state? Indiana. Can a collection agency transfer money from a paid off account to an older account? I had a medical bill in collection for 2001. I paid the bill in full Oct. 2002. March of 2004 I received a call that I still owed money on the 2001 bill. When I asked how, the collection agency explained that they had found an older bill from 1996... took the monies from the 2001 bill (that had been paid off) and applied it to the older bill... which now leaves a balance on the 2001 bill. This all transpired in March of 2004... Can they do this? When I asked for documentation on the 1996 bill they told me they didn't have it... they have it for the 2001 bill.... Any help you can give me on this, I would appreciate!
