Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

Hospital Collection for a child in a divorce

My son had to go to the hospital

while living with my ex wife. She did

not inform me of the visit nor did

she inform me that she did not pay

the bill. The bill was in her name

and not mine. I was surprised to

find a collection on my Credit report

for $50 dollars. I don't mind paying

the $50 dollars but how do I get

the collection agent to remove the

collections since I was not aware of

the visit.

You should contact the collection agency to dispute the debt and/or ask for verification that it is _your_ debt. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act provides guidelines for you on both fronts.
