<prompt> Human: In November 2012, I went in to have four teeth removed for braces. We all assumed that both my primary and secondary dental insurances would pay, but surprise surprise, I was stuck with the 1672 bill. We negotiated that I would have to make regular payments until the Balance was paid, and I have been doing so. I realized I missed a payment last June and so I called to make a payment for both June and July. Instead, They demand that payment be made in full in the next 30 days. There is no way I can pay that money in 30 days. I told them to put it in writing, and since regular and payment have not been properly defined, I was thinking of giving them a certified letter saying I would pay 50 a month until it was paid in full. They say if I dont pay the money now, They will send the bill to collections. What Do you suggest I do? Im typing on my phone so I apologize beforehand for grammatical or spelling mistakes. Assistant: As of august, it would seem that you have to pay 300? You didnt share much about your finances, but is 300 really that big an amount to come up with? Just scrape it together, pay it off, and move onHuman: As far as finances are concerned, 1500 on credit cards, 5500 student loan, 5700 on care credit for the braces and exams. Currently, I make 1300 a month with 400 rent but I am moving this month so I am saving for the moving expenses. Starting in August, I will be making about 2800 a month with 500 rent, so I wish they could wait a little longer for their money.  <response>: Its already been 2 years that theyve waited, and their patience has understandably run thin. So its inconvenient for YOU to have to pay up right now, but thats got nothing to do with them and is none of their business.Id do everything within my power to pay this off ASAP and move on with my life, even if it means eating rice and beans for dinner and scaling back paying above the minimums which youre doing, right on your other debts.
