RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 08/19/18> Following up on the “Courtesy letter “ the oldest boy got.
I think this collection agency is trying to cam your son. I talked about this with my sons and they think the same thing that the lawyer gets a hefty fee for writing a bunch of letters for this agency without doing their due diligence to see if there are actual bills for the services. My son in Canada had a similar situation and they did threaten to take him to court and his reply was to go ahead. Never heard from them again. I suspect this will be the case with this agency.
As far as that story goes, it goes further. The CPS is now taking on the family trying to remove the younger kids saying the parents are unfit. This is even a bigger guzbucking nightmare for this family. Mayo is big business and so is the CPS. Their interests lie with the almighty dollar, not what is best for the patient or family.
The Mrs. didn't tell that other part about that family's situation, I will have to ask her if she is aware of that, she probably is, but she just feeds me in little bits and pieces so I don't choke on it i guess.
As far as the boy's situation goes, I don't know at this point but time will tell. I am starting to lean towards the scam only because the collection agency responded and not the attorney's office thus far and he didn't send the collection agency anything yet.
If it is a legitimate bill he owes, I would have expected them to respond with a letter saying something like , "we have requested the documentation you have requested from the creditor and expect to have it in xx number of days , at which point we will send it to you for your review." Something like that would be more in line with a legitimate claim.
He isn't trying to avoid paying a legitimate bill, but he also doesn't want to pay something he doesn't owe and who could blame him.
This will be a good learning experience no matter which way it turns out because he needs to learn the process and how to handle claims made against him.
You know what, I wonder just how many kids the Mayo clinic actually gets turned over to CPS for custody? They might very well be in with them and making sure CPS always has kids to look after on a full time basis.
I just got an update on the family. Not all the kids have been taken into custody, but mother and father have split so that dad can have custody of the kids. They have managed to destroy another family...
That is a real tragic story right there, how do the people in those jobs even sleep at night?
They have no conscience and no soul.
