ok, ill tell the story...

went to the ER for antibiotics last year, I had an abscessed tooth. i was afriad of dying from leeching the toxins into my system... they told me it would be under 100 bucks.....so i get a bill 3 or 4 months later.....they charged me 480 dollars for 10 minutes of their time... shit you not. 1 purple glove, .04 oz of ink, a prescription paper, mopping up my footprints, a percentage of the filtration system....all counting up to 480 bucks.

so i ask them for an invoice or whatever telling me what im paying for.

instead they sent a collections agency to me.

I told them i just wanted an invoice.

they said fine, i waited.

ANother collections agency came to me.

all together they sent 3 agencies to collect. I asked every one for an invoice.

I called the ER multiple times. they would direct me to billing, billing would never answer their phone nor return my calls...more than 15 calls, 5 or more left messages and nearly a year have gone by...

So now i get a bill for 560 bucks right... from the 3rd agency...

I say fuck all this stupid shit and give in.....I make a payment....100 bucks...send it in the mail...they send it back...

"dont worry about paying us, were suing you"

stupid fucks....so I call them up...they say, "make a payment, we want half or youre being served"... I say fine, in the meantime get me an invoice, thats all i ever wanted...I have a right to know what im being charged for since last I knew i was being charged no more than 100 bucks...they agree

I send a 286 dollar check out that day...next morning im served and officially being sued...

and to top it off....

I got my invoice finally... more than a year later...

mind you... they told me, no more than a hundred bucks...then my first bill I get fromt hem is 480....anod now its up over 560.....right...

so the invoice says 136 dollars ....



am I wrong for being slightly upset?

am i missing something?
I'd be taking THEM to court!
I'd call em and tell them you have the invoice and that you want the difference back... and hope they take you to court.. The judge will see the invoice, and what they are trying to say you owe... They may be doing something the judge could see as illegal...
