Question about unknown medical bills now in collection on my credit report

http://repairbadcreditreports.blogspot.com/2007/07/medical-bill-collection-unknown-inquiry.html

I was doing some research on the internet and i came across this post from last year. I had a question about unknown medical bills and I dont know where to get any other information from. Basically about 5-7 years ago I went to the ER, I am pertty sure I was still in High School for the first case, because I remember being out school...anyway my question is can the hospital send a bill to collections agency with out me ever reciving a bill and not knowing I owed anyone anymoney and its been over 5 years. what do i do?
------------------------
many times this is the only way for hospitals to collect. Many people move and they cannot send a proper bill to the proper place so they put it on the credit report. When ever that person wants credit the hospital gets paid. as far as age goes. you may have been younger than 18 and might get out of the bill on that accord. I would dispute the bills. Say they ae not yours and ask for validation the bills.

Divorved my husband 2 years. His health care judgement on my report

I have been divorced for 2 years,I kept my exhusband on my health care plan, He ended up in the hospital never paid his bill I got a judgement put on my credit for 1984.00 in 12/2007 can they due this?
I never knew anything about it until I pulled my credit in 3/2008 .
Do I have to pay this?
----------------------
it seems you would to have had knowledge of any judgment. if you were not served papers, and you only had insurance for the man and were not married to him then, I would think you could just dispute the judgment and it would come off. Say not your account
If this does not work i would investgate the court records at what ever court rendered judgment, hopefully the place is close.
i would also call the hospital and confront billing and see if your name may have been used without your knowlegde as a responsible party which is likely since you state it was your insurance.
there might be a possiblilty that your insurance would not pay since you were not married.
In any event i do not believe this should be on your report
