[quote="BarnyardEngineering"](quoted from post at 14:26:41 01/04/17) It's also too bad in this world that people are always looking for a way to get out of paying, to get something for nothing.
Morally and ethically, the ambulance company should be paid for their services, if they can afford to do so. Yet most everyone here is advocating welching on the bill just because it was late.
This is one major reason why medical services cost so much. If everyone paid what they owed, the hospitals wouldn't be trying to get it out of the next guy.[/quote]
There is a real good chance this bill has been paid already. Usually when something like this pops up out of the blue its been bundled with a lot of other uncollectable debts and sold to a collection agency. Something in the system didn't get checked off correctly when payment was made and the bill was included with others that the hospital spent months (years?) attempting to collect before selling it for pennies on the dollar to the collection agency. The hospital didn't wait 2 years to attempt to collect - they were paid by the insurance a couple months after the services were rendered. But the paperwork went with the other uncollectables.
The collection agency doesn't care who pays they just want some money. We have collection agencies call us all the time wanting to know if we have some "old accounts" we would like to sell. And we occasionally have collection agencies call us looking to collect on a "past due" that was actually a negotiated settlement when a supplier or sub failed to perform. Instead of writing down our receivable to the agreed amount it was carried on the books as uncollected and eventually sold to collections. Then I have to dig into 3-4 year old files and show them that the company was paid an agreed upon amount and the receivable is worthless. Even with that I'll get a "How much will you pay to make this go away" shot even when they know there is nothing to collect.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
