[CLBS] Indigent services and creditor who failed to timely file claim

[Holly Roark]

Is there any statute that says if a creditor misses the deadline for filing
its claim with Ada County Indigent Services, then they are not allowed to
collect from the debtor? I have a case where the debtor was in a coma and
all her medical bills went through indigent services, but one medical
creditor failed to file its claim timely, and now they've sued my client for
$15K. She's out of the coma but still cannot pay this bill. I can file a BK
for her, but am wondering whether she has a good defense to this claim based
on the creditor missing the deadline with indigent services. 

 

 

Best regards,
