I received notice that I owed medical bills and that it was going to civil court for collection. I don't dispute any of that. Years ago, I was in a financial bind and did not pay my medical bills. I wanted to pay in full all that I owed. They contacted me by letter and said they would stop the court action for $150 and start a payment plan with the plaintiff. They wanted to try and settle out of court for a lower amount. I said specifically, "I don't want a lower amount, I wanted to pay what I owe". All I wanted was just the payment plan set up. I was told that paperwork would come in the mail with they amount owed and a payment plan in about 2 weeks. Never received. I called back. I was told paperwork would be in the mail shortly. Never received. Now I have received a notice from the court that I have a civil judgment against me (THE ONLY THING I DIDN'T WANT TO HAPPEN). I call back and I was told that the plaintiff didn't accept the settlement amount. Something I did not ask for. I was told that I would need to contact the court to set up a payment plan. REALLY?! Now I am out $150 for nothing and I still have to deal with the courts myself. What a Scam!!
