What is the name of your state? Utah
I owe about $477 for medical services. There was some dispute over wether or not my insurance would cover it. Turns out they will not, I have no recourse.
In the meantime the amount went to an outside collection agency. They have served me with papers and are filing suit to get the money.
I called and agreed I'd pay it, but they wanted their attorney fee now too + court cost so I'm looking at $800. They offered to "settle" for $650.
I owe the money. There is no dispute there. If I refuse the $650 can they just go get the judgement and the fees they want? I am offering to pay the $477 + $15 in interest but that's not good enough apparently. If I don't have a leg to stand on I'll pay the $650 and be done with it but do I have some way to force them to accept the $500 or so I actually owe? Or am I doomed to pay their attorney/court costs too?
