What is the name of your state? NY

I was hospitalized for 4 days which amounted for an 18,000 hospital bill. I don't have any insurance and I don't have any serious assets, but a 5,000 savings accout and a 10 year old car. As you can see I am not able to pay this bill -at least not right now- and the hospital is telling me they will seek legal action. Can they touch my savings account or my car?

Thanks

My response:

In a word, yes.

Your car is probably exempt from judgment (if they sue), but your savings account is definitely vulnerable to siezure.

Thanks, nice to see you too. I've been very busy with the company. I'm right by my old friend Halkert now in Texas :) as I'm opening my Houston branch next week. I always find my way to the forum after moving in to a new place. Don't know how long I'll last now that I'll be traveling between four locations.

Nice to see you're still around.
