I had an unpaid ambulance ride of 5 minutes. Moved and never received the bill.
Never heard about it until the collections agency called. I paid it and they still dinged my credit.
Just a lesson for anyone thinking this is a good idea, most likely you will get your credit slapped for this sort of thing.

You instead send them a letter that asks for proof you owe the debt, and ask them to only contact you in writing. Often they won't have their paperwork in order and it will be removed.
