Quick question - I have never had any problems with debt or creditors until last summer. A pain specialist sent my 47$ bill to collections, which I promptly paid. I want this off my credit - what should I do? I'm in Colorado.

I have a really annoying situation, for reference this is in the state of Colorado. On Dec 10th 2007, I was in a car accident and admitted to the hospital. The hospital's billing department is, bar none, the dumbest bunch of shitheads I've ever had to deal with. After they sent my bills to insurance, after payment they sent MY bills (the remainder) to collections without getting a hold of me. Anyhow, I paid them all in full immediately when contacted. There weren't many, and it added up to about 2k total. Fast forward to today, I got a call from the hospital that they have another bill for me, 2015 bucks. Out of nowhere. Apparently they never got around to billing me the last 2k and have been sitting on it. Maybe. I've asked them to validate the bill and prove that it's mine, no idea how that's going to go. Anyhow, I did some looking and the statute of limitations on this kind of debt in CO is 6 years. From what I understand, this is just an affirmative defense at a trial and they can hound me until I die about this debt. Am I wrong? Should I just pay it to make them shut up? This is really bizarre and frankly has me more than a little upset.
