How to Check a Debt Riverview Law Office Says You Owe
- Read the validation notice for the provider's name, the itemization and the dispute deadline (15 U.S.C. § 1692g; 12 C.F.R. § 1006.34).
- Dispute in writing within the validation period, and ask for an itemized statement showing dates of service, insurance payments and adjustments.
- Ask whether the provider still owns the account, and whether any financial-assistance or charity-care application was considered.
- For an employment repayment claim, ask for the signed agreement and the calculation of what is owed.
- Check the timing. Texas generally allows four years to sue on a debt (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.004), and debt buyers may not sue on time-barred consumer debt (Tex. Fin. Code § 392.307). Minnesota and neighboring states have their own deadlines.
What Riverview Law Office Can and Can't Do
Attorneys who regularly collect consumer debts are "debt collectors" under the FDCPA (Heintz v. Jenkins, 514 U.S. 291 (1995)). A medical bill is a consumer debt; an employer's claim may or may not be, depending on the agreement. For medical collections:
- It may not overstate what you owe or ignore insurance payments (15 U.S.C. § 1692e(2)).
- It may not reveal your medical debt to others except to locate you (15 U.S.C. §§ 1692b, 1692c(b)).
- It must file suit where you live or signed for the services (15 U.S.C. § 1692i).
- It may not threaten to take exempt property; Texas protects wages, a homestead and many personal items (15 U.S.C. § 1692e(4)).

We Sue Debt Collectors That Break the FDCPA
Texas Debt Law files Fair Debt Collection Practices Act lawsuits against debt collectors in federal court for consumers in Texas, California, Illinois, Georgia and Colorado. If Riverview Law Office or anyone collecting for it harassed you, misstated what you owe, threatened action it could not take, or told others about your debt, you may have a claim. A court can order a collector that violated the FDCPA to pay your actual damages, up to $1,000 in additional statutory damages, and your attorney's fees and costs (15 U.S.C. § 1692k(a)). An FDCPA claim generally must be filed within one year of the violation (§ 1692k(d)), so keep your letters, call logs, voicemails and screenshots, and talk to us early. Texas residents may also have claims under the Texas Debt Collection Act. Learn more from our FDCPA attorneys.
