    Daughters 9 yr old hosp. bill showing up on my credit
    Hi,

    My daughter moved out of my house when she turned 18 and had her first child at age 19 in 1999. I got a call from a collection agency regarding medical bills totalling $400. I asked what it was for and knew that one was mine $51 worth that I immediately paid. I explained to the woman that I did not know what the other $348 was. She told me that it was for a hospital visit for my daughter from 1999. That's 9 years ago. I live in New Mexico. I would like to know how the collections agency stuck that bill onto my name since my daughter hadn't lived with me for a year. Also, she was on medicaid at the time so they took care of the bill for my Grandson's birth.
    Do I have to pay this 9 year old bill? Does my daughter even have to pay this 9 yr. old bill? Is this going against my credit?
    Thanks for your advise.

    Technically you don't have to pay it, because technically you don't have to pay for anything. But if you don't pay, it goes against your credit. I would say make your daughter pay for it, since it was her expense.
