Seriously?
That would be $1,220 due to the ER physician. This is a completely separate bill from the $13,347 bill the hospital billed me directly and the $248 bill the radiologist billed me as well. Bills sent separately from the hospital such as this do NOT qualify for the charity I applied for. (Which I might not even get due to income limits.) I’ve spent the past year – literally 12 months – working on rebuilding my credit. June 2010 I got a secured Visa just to start establishing credit again. My score is still “poor” but it’s going up. But it’s going to plummet again because I simply cannot pay these bills off. Especially not right now when I’m down an income.
It’s so damned depressing. Makes me want to just give up, I swear. It’s like why do I bother? How can I ever better myself when all it takes is ONE little event to completely ruin me financially? I’m so tired of getting these bills I can’t even express the sheer exhaustion and hopelessness they make me feel.
Ooops, you left your first name on the scan… 😐
You are in my thoughts and prayers….
Fixed. Thanks. Ugh. You can see where my head is right now… 🙁
🙁 hang in there.
I know it’s frustrating but try to hang in there. I had a large hospital charge once, and they really did work with me and I was able to set up a payment plan. It didn’t impact my credit. Yeah, it took forever to pay off (STILL NOT DONE IN FACT) but I did want to let you know that my credit has never been affected.
