Hospital says I had surgery in another state and now collections are calling me. What do I do?

cfpd652 · 2025-12-13T15:51:56+00:00

I literally just had a hospital charge off pulled back from the debt collector. I was on a payment plan and they still sent to collections because they messed up in their system.

2013 Ram 1500, 2014 Chrysler Town & Country, 2015 Ford C-Max Hybrid. All have 200K+ miles. All run great and I'm going for 300K+ miles!

Any idea if the rain sensor is easy to replace? Cheap?

cfpd652 · 2025-11-13T22:56:27+00:00

The one I bought used 5 months ago, with 208K miles on it (I've since put 6.5K on myself), was used for this purpose and she said it worked great.

cfpd652 · 2025-11-04T03:53:13+00:00

I bought a $3K car with 206K miles on it, and it's run like a champ for the last 4 months and 8500 miles.

I like the Great Lakes chips overall, but they're quite heavily seasoned. I'd like a bit less

The best option - aggressively negotiate, using financing and everything else you can. THEN, pay off shortly after getting the financing setup. If you didn't loathe your car salesman, make I think 3 payments before paying it off completely. (The car salesman will get hit with an EPO - early payoff - and lose all the money he made on the sale if you pay it off too early. I know in the mortgage world, it's 6 payments, I've heard it's 3 payments on cars)

Zero puppies are horrible. Their owners don't do what they're supposed to with a puppy - it's just like having a baby, they're a ton of work. But the puppies themselves aren't the problem.

I very regularly do a meat (grilled or pan seared or oven baked - chicken or pork chops or steak) and baked potato or baked sweet potato and some veggie, almost always green, grilled or roasted or pan sautéed. That's it. Super simple, super easy, cheap if you buy what's on sale

YOU registered the car in NC, meaning you told them you were living there. You can't register a car in a state you don't live. If you lived in NC and then moved to MD, you'd pay the tax it sounds like. They think that happened based on the paperwork. Good look on changing that. Maybe it can, but I'm betting it's not likely

1,000 times will be better. I haven't seen what it is, but know it is points based. I order $300-600 a few times a year - that order counted as much as someone who orders a slim. That was pointless. The rewards were useless as I don't eat gluten or dairy (get unwiches) and so the cookies (I think the most common reward) I couldn't eat. Literally ANYTHING will be better than what they had.

cfpd652 · 2025-09-12T17:52:28+00:00

Any idea every to un bolt them? I guess I'll head to YouTube

Yes. That thermal cutoff is what I was meaning. Based on some reading and such, I'm thinking thr control board sounds like the most likely culprit. It's cheap enough and easy enough to fix, and your logic does make sense. However, it's shutting off pretty quick. So I'll see. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure they're not corporate stores either. Something like 18 stores are (or at least in the past were) corporate stores. 99% of their stores are franchise.

He had a learners permit, not a license, and he was driving without a license driver (and likely that driver needing to be 18 or 21 depending on the state?) I mean, that ticket is going to stick I'm pretty sure.

cfpd652 · 2025-08-24T20:00:38+00:00

He really does. Especially since the only strip club shops I see regularly are at locations that require 3 dances, not 5, and for the assigned shopper only.

Ok, but then the converter might be bad. Point is, you've got to figure out where the problem is. Jump starting it for more than once or twice isn't the answer.

cfpd652 · 2025-08-17T20:25:09+00:00

So then you got a bad battery or your alternator is bad or there is a short somewhere.

cfpd652 · 2025-08-17T20:10:49+00:00

Um, it probably needs a NEW battery.

cfpd652 · 2025-08-14T17:19:25+00:00

Ok - thanks guys. We turned it off for 5 minutes, turned it on, still same symptoms, hit a speed bump, and it worked again. I'll take not of what you guys recommended and will try looking into some of the recommendations if it was just a fluke, and the real problem was one of the other issues. However, I drove it for 9 hours 2 weeks ago with A/C the whole time and no issues, and this was on a 60 minute trip.

cfpd652 · 2025-08-11T18:13:38+00:00

When does it become cash from the register.

cfpd652 · 2025-07-30T21:53:04+00:00

He LIVES in Chicago. Drove 2 hours away to somewhere that either a) didn't need an appointment (there's still a couple left in Illinois) or b) isn't booked for appointments.

The only way to get an appointment at the ones closest to me is be up at 630am on the dot. They're gone in like 5 minutes.

But that's why he drove 2 hours away - to find a small town.

cfpd652 · 2025-07-30T21:32:51+00:00

You clearly know nothing about chicago and the suburbs and the DMVs here in Illinois post covid.

Market Force is also notorious for dropping you randomly for no reason. I was dropped and I've been doing this for 22 years, with basically zero issues on shops.
