Will it never end??  

That's what I'm trying to do now, although it's still difficult as I still have several debts to get paid off. UGH! Thanks for the response hon.

Right after I posted this I gave them a call and told them I would do the best I could to pay it off before the court date. But if it ends up going to court anyway, I won't get stressed over it. They already have the majority of the money, so what else can they do? Thanks so much hon.

It's legitimate. I was being sued for my delinquent bills for the local hospital, and it went to a lawyer and it's set up to go to court. So now I'm responsible for filing fees, etc. and those are what I haven't paid yet. It's in the court papers that I'm responsible for those, but I didn't know until today how much it was. I will be making payments to get the rest paid. I've already worked it out with the collection agency. Sorry if I confused things for you hon. I was just up in arms over it when I posted this.

I thought you were on disability or something. Can't you get some of these bills wiped out? I just think there should be a solution that would lessen what you have to pay. I wish I knew how to help because I know that when I was on disability for my back, I had an MRI but my insurance company didn't tell me until after the fact that it wasn't covered and I just never paid them. I was on Unemployment after my Disability ended so I guess they realized they weren't going to get anything out of me.

Anyway, I'll pray for your financial challenges and believe God for a miracle and you can agree with me for my financial miracle!

Thank you hon. As a matter of fact, I'm still fighting social security disability. I still need to turn in the papers so that my case can be heard before a judge, but I just haven't had time to get it done or to call a lawyer yet. So hubby is still the only one bringing in a paycheck right now. This will all get taken care of sooner or later. More likely later than sooner though.

Carryl, you should really get the social security stuff taken care of first because that will take the burden of the medical bills off your shoulders. You are doing this backwards. I understand that you don't want the stress of going to court but you are paying hefty medical bills that can be taken care of by the disability situation once it's overturned. If you will get an attorney, the attorney can most likely get a continuance or put a stop to the bill collectors while you get the disability thing straightened out. At this point, you are putting a lot of strain on yourself and your husband that the attorney can likely alleviate with a few legal moves.

I know I am, and I need to get off my butt and make that call to an attorney for that disability. Thanks for the much needed encouragement to do it.

Yes it's wonderful here. There are so many people to commiserate with and get advice from. Thanks hon.

Unfortunately it is legal. It's fees that I'm liable for in the court case. They are going to accept whatever payments that I can make, so that's a good thing. And if it goes to court because I'm not finished making the payments there's not much they can do but to order me to pay the rest as I can. I've decided not to let this get me too stressed out so that my blood pressure won't go up. My health is more important to me than that stupid bill. Love and hugs to you hon.

That's how I feel too. Fortunately they are going to let me make payments...whatever I can manage to send them. Thanks hon.

That's great. Maybe they realized that you aren't one of the ones that are trying to get out of paying, especially since you sent the lion's share of what was owed. I am praying for you Kat and I hope you get them, and the rest of these bills off your back as soon as possible.

I pray that that happens too, and SOON. Hubby is looking at getting into working with the US Postal Service, and if it works out that will help things along for sure. Thanks so much for the wonderful response.

I'm doing the best I can to keep a positive outlook on all of this. Thanks so much.

Me too! Hugs to you hon.

We haven't been charging for a long time now. That's what got us in trouble in the first place, and I ended up cutting up all the credit cards and cancelling the accounts. Now we're in the process of getting all bills paid off. Right now I can't work because of my back, so that makes it a bit harder. But it's working out slowly but surely. Thanks so much hon.
