A month or so after an emergency visit to the hospital, I started getting random bills in the mail ranging in $50-$100 amounts. I went back to the hospital and asked them what the total was so I could just pay them the full amount right there, which was only about $1000. They simply wouldn't tell me. They told me to wait for all the bills. As I paid them off, there was no indication of whether I had completed all the payments.
Guess I missed one, as I also ended up in collections a year later for $50. My credit score was harmed instead of theirs.
