Absolutely! What happens is the debt collector will file a lawsuit against you and win. They will then put a lien on things like your home, etc. They may also seek court approval to garnish your wages.

Unfortunately, yes. It's probably better to set up a payment plan with the hospital or doctor than go through that legal process. Most hospitals are usually okay with relatively low minimums, but if they have any notion that you're not going to keep up the payments, that brick is going to drop on your check in a hurry.

i'm shocked that they are sending back your assessments. often the sequence employer would take the small value and proceed with lawsuit or despite to collect the entire quantity. once you default on a debt, the entire element will become due. The creditor would not would desire to settle for despite small money you deliver. they don't care approximately your very own problems and funds. they simply choose to be paid. You do have the appropriate to tell them to provide up contacting you at paintings as you're actually not authorized to take own telephone calls. they'd desire to provide up calling you there.

Only if you've been sued and lost. I don't think you can usually be sued for medical bills though.
