My credit is excellent. I could not care less if something like this goes to collections.

I pay 99% of my bills faithfully. But I went to the ER a few years ago and ended up getting balanced bill by an ER doc that was not in network, even though the hospital and every other doc I saw was in network. This is a heinous practice that has been outlawed in several states (and since my ER visit also in the state where this hospital is located). I refused to pay more than what my insurance determined was the allowed amount + my copay. The ER practice sent it to collection. I have been ignoring calls from the collection agency for over 2 years now (they go straight to voicemail--I did this instead of blocking the number so that I will know if they ever stop calling LOL). My credit remains excellent, and I just had no problem getting an excellent interest rate on a loan.[/quote]

Medical bills are different. They do not include go on a credit report. [/quote]
