The couple claims CMMC and its debt collector, Advance Collection Services, ignored a court order issued in May 2015 that relieved the couple of their obligation to repay certain pre-bankruptcy debts, including three unpaid hospital bills amounting to $2,700, according to documents obtained by Portland Press Herald.
The couple filed for protection from their creditors under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in February 2015.
CMMC and Advanced provided Portland Press Herald with a joint statement.
“Central Maine Medical Center and Advance Collection Services are still reviewing the facts and relevant information related to this legal filing. We will respond to the complaint accordingly.”
