    First off, how old’s that tweet (or whatever platform that is) you’re attempting to provide with “expert” legal advice?

    Secondly: That’s about the worst legal advice I’ve ever seen. There are actual productive approaches, but crumbling up the bills and sticking them in your ears, while going lalalalalalala I can’t hear you? If you’re not even disputing the claim, then you’re about to pay the debt somehow, maybe even through seizure of your property.

      Not with medical bills. Most of the time you can get away with ignoring them. They sell them to a collection agency for pennies on the dollar, you ignore the phone calls or demand proof that you owe the money.
