Hi there Booknut, I feel your pain. I swear we are charged more than once and we try to monitor all of the bills. I get pretty aggravated and when I speak to a rep from the people wanting to collect, I tell t87 hem that I know they are hungry and need to eat but others are waiting as well and I hope that the CEO doesn't have to miss a house payment or have to skip a meal because little ole me needs oxygen to stay alive and it would behoove me to take from your mouth so I will try to eat less so I can buy meds and things that keep me alive.
Seriously though they really peeve me off when they tell me that 50.00 a month is not a payment arrangement and I need to pay 118.00 a month to catch up in 6 months or 187 for 3 months. I pay and am not in collection but these clowns tell me that my 50.00 is not an arrangement but I soon convince them that that's all there is for them, take it or leave me alone. I even challenged the oxy supplier to come get your precious concentrator. They don't even know what dept does the billing and cant contact them with out doing research! I like to remind them that I am a slow pay, Not a no pay and they have to agree. Its collection agents that call but they do all the billing for accounts 6 months old or older and are not reported as bad credit but he hospitals have went that route for older accounts more than 6 months.
I do have the finances to pay each and every one that wants money but I will not leave my wife destitute and refuse to spend our retirement that she deserves when I'm gone!
But, they will get their money owed to them!
Glad you are getting things straightened up, Like I said, we keep an eye on what we are charged for but they get paid on my time. the CEO's of this country are living better than me as it is. Stay on those billing people and the insurance. I wish I had your husbands way of communicating but I just tell them the way I feel and tell them how it will be paid! I have to or they would run rough shod over me.
Nobody knows how we got to the top of the hill. But since were on the way down, we might as well enjoy the ride!
