If you don’t pay a hospital bill, they will send you letters from collections agencies and call you on the phone asking for a payment. As long as you don’t tell them who you are (i.e. your name or where you live), they can’t actually do anything to you; they can’t take you to court, they can’t lower your credit, etc. If glowies weren’t here watching, I’d tell you how I know 😉
Note: the phone calls almost always start off with “Hi is this [name]?” Of you ask who is calling, they will say “I’m calling in regards to a personal matter with [name] so I can only tell you if you are [name]”. If this happens to you, do NOT tell them your name. Then they can’t do anything to you lol
They need confirmation that you are who you say they are. As long as you don’t tell them, you should be in the all clear. My credit keeps on going up despite all that I’ve done lmao
