( jalopnik.com )

Owner Of Hydrogen-Powered Hyundai Tucson Hit With $113k Repair Bill It’s unfortunate, but one of the realities of car ownership is that eventually, things break. And while most repairs are only a few hundred or a few thousand dollars, sometimes, the bill is more than the cost of buying a new car. For example, there’s the Mercedes-Benz R63 AMG that infamously led to one owner getting a… Read more…

LPT: If your ISP decreases the price on their internet plans, they’re not obligated to inform you or reduce your bill. You have to call to request the lower pricing.

LPT: If your ISP decreases the price on their internet plans, they’re not obligated to inform you or reduce your bill. You have to call to request the lower pricing. This has happened to me twice now. You need to constantly check the prices on your ISP’s internet plan website to stay on top of this or you could be paying the old higher price for months if you never notice. I just found out again and now I’m getting a permanent $10 “discount” on the new lower price. It’s not in the best interests of these cor…

( www.reddit.com )

What would be the best strategy to get a discount on a hospital bill? A few weeks ago, my friend got a fishbone stuck in her throat and had to visit urgent care. It was a 2-hour wait before they did an x-ray on her throat, only to find nothing in there. So they gave her a small bottle of liquid medication to ease her throat and sent her home. The total bill came out to $1678.75. Her insurance covered $593.68, and …

Father passed away, hospital bill went to collections ($3k), they stopped contacting us, did the bill get cancelled? My mother had received calls / letters from a collections agency indicating we still owed money on my dead father’s hospital bill. The collections agency stopped contacting us around 3 months ago.

Elon Musk’s ‘fund your legal bill’ tweet is a brand new level of bullshit Illustration by Kristen Radtke / The Verge; Getty ImagesYes, I know he doesn’t care about hypocrisy — he’s just in it for the attention, and I guess I’m giving it to him! But I think it’s worth pointing out that this tweet is a brand-new level of BS. If you were unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platf…

Surgeon sent a bill 2 years late I just received a text message notification that I had a balance from an OBGYN I haven’t seen for 2 years. They are trying to bill for a surgery they did two years ago — a surgery that was completely covered by insurance at the time.

My mom is not doing well and even though I’m POA her mobile provider will not give me a reasonable way to cancel her service. What will happen if I just stop paying her bill? My mom moved to CO where I am because of her health. She had a local mobile provider in WI that doesn’t have any location anywhere near me in CO. I’ve called them multiple times and the only option they are giving me is to get to the nearest location and present my POA papers. Which is unacceptable. What happens if I just stop paying her bill an…

Paid a bill at the ER, realizing I probably made a mistake in doing so. Do I have any options other than eating the cost? Situation: We took our young son to the ER due to wheezing the other day. He got some steroids + ibuprofen and is doing fine now a few days later. It was between 3-4am by the time we finally got out of there, so neither of us were really thinking straight at the time. During the checkout process, they said “We’ve ran your insurance, and the tota…
