I recently came across this interesting story of a class action against an Indiana hospital for using an out-of-state collections agency. Apparently, St. Vincent Indianopolis Hospital outsourced some of its collections to a Missouri based collection agency who was not licensed in Indiana. Therefore, Michael Sargent sued and won. He won $2,000 and the plaintiffs won a total of $31,500.
