My zombie debt was brought about through hospital testing ordered by a doctor. When I told the Dr I was uninsured, he told me not to worry, we need to get me well first and worry about the cost later. The extensive testing he ordered uncovered nothing, the doctor was at a loss as what to do and sent me home with a bunch of drugs. Another doctor found the problem and I was cured, leaving a massive amount of debt from the 1st Dr that I would never be able to pay. The day I was ordered into court, I found the place jammed with people, and guess what, they were All there with the same problem from the same hospital. This debt occured in 1988. I was continuously hounded and taken to court a total of 6 times over this with everyone agreeing I have no ability to pay. Yet on they went with more threats and every 6 months another summons. The registration for my 12 year old automobile was revoked four years in a row because I was unable to keep up with the insurance payments. I was at one time 5 months behind in my rent and eventually evicted. Do you really think you know what you're talking about? Maybe you should listen more and say less. In case you haven't noticed, in this society if you don't have money you are scum. Hey know-it-all Hunter with your big news flash, wake up.
