I switched jobs 3 years ago was not aware there was a lapse in my insurance coverage during that time i had gone to the dentist and had a tooth extraction. I have lived at the same address and worked at the same job for this whole time. I have never received a bill, a letter, or any correspondence to associate with this bill. At the time I did pay the copayment that was required and never head about it again. Now 3 years later I have received a letter from a collection agency stating that i have 90 days to pay the bill plus all interest accrued totaling 915.00 or i will be taken to court and they will garnish my wages. They told me if i was covered by insurance its to late to file it now so i just have to pay it I tried to talk about reasonable payment plan but they won't hear any of it. How can a company not contact you about a balance for 3 years and then go straight to collections? Is there anything at all i can do?
