I dodged a bullet!!!!!!

Completely forgot to pay the balance on a medical account.  I called them and they said "we still have this in-house"....WHEW!!!!

 

That could have been bad.....very bad!

 

After having over 30 to pay, missing one wasn't so bad (I suppose)....$8 k later....almost payment free!

Re: I dodged a bullet!!!!!!

Same boat.  I had something similar happen where I called them & paid off the account then a couple weeks later I get a bill from a collections agency for a different (higher amount) from same medical facility.  I called and they had me with a totally different account number for a mammogram then the MRI I had just paid off.  How ridiculous is that?  Luckily, since I was able to pay the day I got the letter they didn't report it.  I would have been livid if I had to jump through a bunch of hoops for a removal on something I didn't even know existed.  I am thrilled to finally be debt free.
