this is a connecticut matter. I entered into a stipulation agreement (full and final) one year ago. the stipulation included compensation to myself as well as all medical bills incurred up to the point of the stipulation. i signed the stipulation in good faith and received my check about sixteen days later (by the way, language in the contract suspended connecticut workman's compensation statue 31-303, that states payment must be made within 10 days or a 20% penalty will occur). i'll address that briefly in a moment.

my question or complaint is that from five months prior to settlement to this day, i have received harrassing phone calls and collection letters. my insurer has not paid a medical bill incurred 8 months prior to stipulation. i have contacted them, the hospital, and the collection agency to no avail. as of february this delinquincy is on each of the credit bureaus reports. my insurer has constantly insured me that the payment will be made, blah, blah. it has not happened. i am in collections and it is on my credit report and i also found that i am looking at least 1% point higher on my mortgage unless i get rid of this. i don't know what to do from here. i want to know if there is some legal action to be taken.

getting back to the 31-303 issue; i wondered if it was even legal to suspend a state statute in a written contract. can you void a state statute? also i wondered if my bills haven't been paid almost a year after stipulation and i've been sent to collections, could that be considered a late payment of some kind.

any ideas out there?
