So screwed...

Blackcrow64 · #1 10-06-2007, 04:43 PM

I am in a very very tight place right now...

Some of you know that I hit a deer in my parents truck and am having to pay it out of my pocket to get it fixed. Getting it done cheaply is gonna be about 600 bucks for a new bumper valance and body work...

Then I got a surprise in the mail today... A bill from my little hospital visit from a month ago... 2500 dollars due by the 22nd of this month...

So I have about 16 days to come up with approximately 3100 dollars...

Not good when I only bring home 1200 a month... I am so fucked right now...

Because I just spent about 300 on all the stainless piping for my exhaust and my IC pipes because I was all caught up on my bills that I knew of...

Until all this... Lucky me...

So, who would like to kill me? Cause this just fucking sucks...

Man that really sucks. You should be able to wait a few weeks on your parents truck right? I mean they should understand the situation. I dont know what to tell you about the hospital. If you have to pay it cant you just put it on a credit card and pay that off? Looks like your car is going to be put aside for a little while...

I wish I could wait on the truck but my dad has been on my ass about it... I'm so pissed that I can't even escape from them by moving out... Lets top shit off with I went out last night and didn't come home. So my mom thought it would be a great idea to wash ALL my clothes and put ALL of them in the dryer too... Now half my clothes won't even fit me cause she shrunk them all! I'm so fuckin pissed about that. I buy all my own shit and I told her to never do my laundry cause I do it myself. So lucky me, she decides to do this shit to "help me out"... I think that fuckin shit should balance out the whole truck situation...

I'm gonna fuckin flip on somebody at work tonight... This will be so bad...

Can't you talk to the hospital about an installment plan? I'm sure there is some sort of finacial help available if not from the hospital by someone else.

I'm gonna ask when I go into work tonight about it... Cause there is just no way I can come up with the money in that short of time... I hope there is something...

It's so wrong that they don't give you more time to get the money together. I think they should at least let you know the amount you owe like 2 months in advance...

My brother was recently in a high speed GSXR 750 accident. He was lifelined into the hospital and had imediate surgery. Then had 3 surgerys over the next week. He had just graduated high school and was not covered under my parents health insurance, or so we thought. My parents were talking to the hospital and they had a bunch of different installment and payment plans they were going to do. Luckily at the last minute their health insurance company said they would pay for it. So, I'm possitive there is another route you can go. Your not totaly screwed. Just ran into some misfortune at the moment. Good luck with your situation and I'm sure it will all work out for you.

Dude file for whats called the hardship package. You have to provide tax statements for like the last year and pay stubs for like 3 - 4 months and get a yearly total print out from your company.

I got out of 2,700 for having them xray my ribs , doing a EKG , cat scan on my chest and the drip. All I ended up having to pay is a 200.00 fee for the ER visit. You just have to play the wounded victim to the extreme.

Damn 16 days...lol when I got my bill I had a week :/

sorry that sucks man..

They have to put you on some kind of payment plan, I mean it's not like you went delinquent on your bill since you were just in the hospital last month so they will deff. work something out w/ you. As for the vehicle repair I would fix that first while paying as little as possible on the doc bill then once the vehicle is fixed started slamming the doc bill out. That's what I would do, it seems like I've run into a lot of bills in the last year that I would have never expected.

Thor06 · #10 10-07-2007, 01:28 AM

Damn dude $2500 for a hospital visit?! Health insurance FTW.

I work for $1800/head plus $.15 cents a mile travel and a $80/day living expenses. Assuming its ~1000 miles to Ohio from here thats $300 round trip and it would be about three days gone so $240 for living expenses for a grand total of $2340. So you could save a little going my way!

JP mang. You can always sell yourself!

I think it's horrable the medical billing takes as long as it does to disperce your bill's. There needs to be a cap for how long the have to "come up" with how much you owe them. Fuck, it's not like they have a chart for what everything costs. Makes me sick even thinking about it.

Mother in law is in debt 1.8 million dollars of Medical Bills if that make you feel any better..

It is very ridiculous since it was from over a month ago and I totally wasn't expecting it to be near this much... All this damn health insurance I pay for seems to feel like an absolute waste when ya think about it. Hmmm...

Oh and that does make me feel a little bit better...

Yeah I was talkin to some people at work tonight about it (Mind you, I work at this hospital) and they told me that I can have a certain amount automatically drawn out of each paycheck so I don't have to worry about it. But shit, it already feels like my paychecks are nothing considering how much time I spend at work... Not that this really helps my moving out situation but ehh at least I'm not completely in the shitter now...

But damn do I need to move out... The tension here is getting sooooo bad again...

Ya know what would be an easy solution? Sell that red piece of shit that doesn't run...

That would be an easy solution to help me get out of these tough times, but I will have to kick myself so hard in the ass if I did that...

Thor06 · #13 10-07-2007, 01:15 PM

That is true, but you will lose a lot of money if it ran, you wont get shit for it not running. You do gotta do what you gotta do though, just make sure you make the right decision.

MazdaX · #14 10-07-2007, 10:29 PM

I'll buy it

Talk to the finance department about a hardship package for reals , way before you bring up 'monthly payments'

kjewer1 · #15 10-08-2007, 01:00 AM

Yeah, why should he be a responsible adult and pay for services he recieved, when he can get out of it so the rest of us have to pay for it. Everyone that gets out of paying for something screws everyone else.

I already pay 25k a year in taxes, 90% of which goes to shit that had nothing to do with me. And health care is ridiculously expensive, because those that can pay for it are supporting those that can't. Don't even get me started on illegal immigrants either. Like my ex-wife for example, that gets free health insurance. I still pay an extra 150 a month for that shit and will for the rest of her life because no one else will be dumb enough to marry her.

Lazy shitbags that can't support themselves = the lose.
