How to stop reassignment of benefits if the debt has been satisfied?
I had a reassignment of benefits for $6500 sent to Medicare and Blue Cross and the debt has been satisfied. I have the cancelled checks of all payments the attorney cashed and I made a final payment of $708 which I was told finished the debt but neither Medicare nor Blue Cross has received the necessary paperwork from the court to stop sending payments to that attorney. So they have continued but the debt is $0.00. How do I file papers to end this? Medicare attorneys have tried contacting the court and attorney but neither responded.

I am assuming that when you say "contacting" the court you mean that a call was made or a letter written. Not to be critical or anything but you see where that got you. The only way for anything to get noticed here is to file a Motion with the court for relief. A motion is an official request that the court act on an issue. The court can not "ignore" the request as it appears on their court calendar and a decision must be made on the matter. True, it can be dismissed but if you say that you have the necessary proof and you are supported by the other attorneys then it is doubtful that will happen. And if it did you can still appeal the dismissal to a different court so it really can not be totally ignored in a long process. So get real legal help on this. Good luck.
