krazychao5 01/22/21 6:45:00 PM #27:	also, theoretically if you had credit karma or whatever, you could always dispute your bills. could, theoretically again, have them wiped out that way. when you get a call from a debt collector, change their number to Debt. So you know who not to answer. after 7 years it drops from your credit report if you were unable to have it successfully disputed. if you maintain strong credit by paying CC's fully and timely and have other bills you pay always on time, your credit will not be tanked too bad by one or two collections on your credit report. --- https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/profile/bigllama?type=posted <cite>krazychao5 posted [p:949805388] in Can i not ...

wackyteen 01/22/21 6:50:33 PM #28:	oh the video i saw was posted higher up I saw a video where if you type in "hospital name + financial aid/assistance" you can find out how much the hospital is legally required to bring your bill down by if you call the hospital and negotiate with them. It's all based on how much you make per year. The example I saw was if you make 3 times or less than federal poverty level (so around like $34K or less a year) then the example hospital would forgive the entire bill. If you don't want to do that, you can always call and negotiate your bill by saying "i can't afford that" and they'll bring the price down. --- The name is wackyteen for a reason.
