More than 20 years ago, I had my first bs claim from a hospital, where at a hospital that was covered by insurance, my doctor they provided happened to be out-of-area because he was a substitute or something unbeknownst to me and became a several thousand dollar surprise charge. How this was somehow my fault or problem was ridiculous, so I simply didn't pay the bill. They turned it to collections, I started getting calls, but I never across years pick up calls from random people on my cell anyways. They eventually sell off to other vultures that try, and get the same. Then at some point they just stop bothering. What impact did this have on my credit? Absolutely none perceptibly. Since then I make a habit of not paying these when they arise, and let them bounce off a combination of call screening and my ignoring phone calls anyways. If I'm part of the problem, they're the perpetrators of the problem to begin with, and still get rich regardless, so why feed the beast? The whole medical industry and bottom feeders that surround it like collections are just fuct in the US. The industry and governments do nothing to fix it, so why play the game fair.
