I probably wouldn't want to put the time and money necessary into a lawsuit over it anyways. If it was 10K not 1 I might feel differently though :tongue2:

Pretty sure my mom ruined her credit as a kid anyways so its not like this incident will ruin it :lol:

I added to their negative reviews and will probably at least email them but I do intend to see if there is any other recourse.

Mainly wanted to gripe about hospitals and this thread certainly helped me feel better about it so mission accomplished.

The worst they can do is hound you with letters and phone calls.
Then they will turn it over to a collection agency and they will hound you with letters and phone calls, Even years later.
The Hospital or collection agency will threaten to sue, but won't because it costs too much.
The only thing they can do is report you to the credit bureau.

Pretty sure that has been happening to my mom since I was a kid anyways. For college debt I think. As soon as I got a phone I would get calls from collectors :lol:

Credit for unpaid bills sticks for only 7 years. After that you start with a clean state.

Yeah, they generally won't do this, but if your bills exceed $5,000 or something they will for example, repossess your car if you own one. If your bills exceed $100,000 they will even repossess your home.

Hospital bills are for suckersssss.
No seriously, I owe thousands. I did make the mistake of going to the private hospital in town once instead of the city/public hospital and they ended up garnishing my wages for like a year or more.

I am over 18 but my mom was the one who brought me into the hospital so they probably just had her info.

Would the malpractice thing be for the price difference or becouse they didn't complete the surgery?

If you're over 18 your mom isn't responsible for payment.

That's crazy they can get away with that. It's essentially extortion, they overcharge and pad their bills like crazy and even do needless stuff to charge more.

You stated that they have been coming after her for payment, and stated something about how her credit is already ruined anyway. That would imply she is the legally and financially responsible party.

Read what Koods wrote, I was just saying I was not holding her responsible for paying, she offered.

Clearly she is legally responsible technically becouse she probably signed some agreement making it so.

Its hard to tell what people mean over the internet and I assumed Koods meant that she isn't responsible for paying for me which is what it seems.

I wouldn't listen to much of what Koods has to say. He has the intelligence of a telemarketer.

I have an ER bill that is over $11,000 for a kidney stone from a few years ago. They overcharged me for my visit so I complained and told them to give me a reasonable price. I offered to send small payments because I didn't have that much money. Then I had another hospital quote me $2000 for the same procedures and told them I would give them $3000 cash. They turned it over to collections, but it hasn't affected my credit score in anyway.

Yeah, that's why I'm not paying. Then I found out the C/T scan they did wasn't even necessary. That was like $9,000 of the bill.

Tell them they didn't do their job correctly and you want your nose fixed. After it's fixed, then argue that they need to give you the price they quoted without the hidden fees. Don't let them boss you around, their prices are negotiable.

Well, you would have had to sign a paper agreeing that she is financially responsible, in order for her to be responsible. When you are admitted to the hospital, they also include a piece of paper where you write down the name of the person who is financially responsible.

And even then, they still can't come after her. Because otherwise anybody could simply write down somebody's name, and transfer their debts to another person.

Pay like $5 a month and tell them that's all you can afford.  Usually they do not take it to the creditors if you're making payments.  I am surprised the insurance didn't cover all the expenses.  It sounds like it was not a cosmetic nose job as much as a breathing issue.  Should of talked with the doctor a bit more about getting the insurance to pay.  They can word it and cover the procedure in a way that it's not plastic surgery.
