    Federal Law Concerning Write Off Accounts. Is It Legal For The Credit Agency To Collect A Debt That Has Already Been Written Off By The Hospital?

    I am being taken to court by a credit agency for an account with a hospital that has already been written off as a bad debt. Is it legal for the credit agency to collect a debt that has already been written off by the hospital?

    The debt is still owed. The hospital does the write-off so it does not have to pay tax on money it never received. Subsequently, any money collected has to be reported as income and taxes paid in that (future) time period.
