The Shoutbox
nose swab*
I wish. This was a medical bill that got sent straight to collections, and I only became aware of it after it showed up on my credit report.

They are playing the song and dance game of "we told you about it". Then how come this is the second time this has happened?

Medical collections showing up on a credit report should be illegal. I'm convinced there's an ulterior motive at play because the collection agency is owned by the parent company that controls/runs almost 90% of the medical offices in town.

And for the last two years they have refused to update my patient record even when I have presented legal documentation.

Socialized medicine could not come sooner. I don't care if I have to wait 4 hours to get a nose swap. I'm just sick of this song and dance where I get bounced around from office to office and no one is able to fix the issue.
"You've been a good customer over the years. You know what? Keep the next payment. You've earned it."

I long for that to happen some day.
lol

I just had a billing department tell me they didn't want my money. Is the Earth spinning backwards today?

So sorry, guess I must have accidentally missed the starbursts bit out of the quote
The more I read it the more I'm laughing. I admit I DID pause before posting that, but thought no, clearly the starbursts reference at. The. Top. Of the post would throw off any misperception.

Lesson learned!!

Starbursts are that way for me too. I've been off the junk for 12 years now. Sometimes, even now, if I smell a strawberry I start twitching and find myself coming out of a daze in random pawn shops holding my family valuables for a fix.
Aaaaaand it’s confirmed: I’m addicted.
