medical bills

I have a dental bill of about $800.00 after insurance. I do not have the money right now and a lawyer contacted me today and said I have until Monday to pay or he will file suit. What can I do? Also, the orignal bill was $400.00 or so. Now, a month later it has doubled. Whats that about?

Have you tried calling the dentist's office to see if you can work something out ?

Well, then you're going to have to either work something out with the lawyer or you'll be going to court. Most of the time you'll be sent to negotiate a settlement before you see a judge anyway, so if he won't deal now - he might later.
