What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington State
A lawsuit has been started against me. Summons 20 days.My wife didn't pay a medical bill.It was like 3 months ago (I think, I know it hasn't been very long, and my wife said she was taking care of it!)and now a Law firm (according to the summons) wants twice as much as the original debt to settle.Do I have an obligation to pay more than the original debt in the state of WA. I had my wife call the hospital yesterday so I could pay the original bill in full. The hospital said it was out of their hands. I don't have a copy of the original bill.I told my wife to get a copy tomorrow. Man this is irritating any advice?
