NWR: Angry and sad......... LONG!

Original post by angl2001

so as most of you know now i got my teeth done in October, Well when we went in we set up a payment plan but we had to pay half of it upfront...$1300 so my mom wrote them a check for me. I am paying the rest on a payment plan. So today i get a letter saying it was my final notice and if i didnt pay id be refered to the credit beureau. This was my first notice!! the letter also said my credit card was declined....i never gave them a CC!!! turns out somehow they got my mom to give them her CC#. they told me she gave it to them and said 'if her payment is late charge it to my card' well without me knowing i was supposed to send my payment Dec 1st they went ahead and tried to charge the card. Luckily it got declined. I told me dad and he was pissed.....so we talked to my mom...now mind you my mother has brain damage from a car accident and you can tell something is wrong by talking to her and looking at her ( she only has 1 eye) she said they asked her for the CC # incase the check bounced....WHY WOULD THEY EVEN THINK IT WOULD?? Why would they talk to her while i was asleep from the anestesia???
So my dad yelled at her because if the card wouldnt have declined they would have been out of $$ for food shopping and chirstmas cause my dads pension check doesnt come for another week!!!! I am so pissed at this dentist. why would they even chearge the full ammount when i am supposed to be on a payemnt plan??? they should have only charged $200!!!!!!!!! ug i am so annoyed right now. luckily its worked out and the card wasnt charged but i feel bad for my mom cause she didnt realize she did something wrong and is upset now!.....i am so pissed i just needed to vent
sorry so long!

that is just cruel. I hope it all works out for you and your parents. I have learned that dentists are tools of the devil himself

They may have accellerated the balance upon any non pmt, but anyway..it was only due 12/1 so how the hell are they ready for collection..sounds weird to me. maybe its a form letter/scare tactic the send.

Besides, when the card was declined, they should have called you!!! duh

Im glad they worked it out thought.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. They can be such unsympathetic jerks!!! My nephew had tubes placed in his ears and insurance covered like none of it (i know isnt it great having insurance) and my sister got the bill up front even though she went on a payment plan. They wouldnt give my nephew another appt until it was all paid off!! My sister had a war with them!
