8k? I'll have what he's drinking
strike him off the list -
He did it with @Danny RnH too. He has been banned from both our websites…..

@Giles what a ballache. Just a side thought on the subject, would it still cost you if there were an option to pay by BACS transfer? I wouldn’t trust many retailers with that form of payment, but I would you, and if it helps you guys improve your margins, which funds the next projects, without making any difference to me I’d be glad to.

Thank you Lewis, we could easily implement a BACS transfer option. Indeed, it is the only option we allow from some far eastern countries (for obvious reasons)….
Let me discuss with @Alex and @Madame Buttonfly

Some people are unbelievable - well done for rising above this.
It reminded me of an experience at work a few years ago. We chased a client over an unpaid invoice and they genuinely replied that they had received it but didn't realise we expected them to pay. They were an established law firm! I think we played it straight.
-
We provide Radiology Consultations/Interpretations to Veterinarians and have a few clinics/individuals that can run up fairly high bills.
On a few occasions I've chased them for months (longest 1.5 years for a single bill), and even had one try to decrease their bill after the fact (services provided) and argue that they should just not pay the same as everybody else.
I had one clinic where the manager had just stepped out of the office every time I phoned to speak to them about their bill. Asked to speak to the owner and the manager just happened to walk back in the door. This went on for about two years where they would just about pay their bill off and then run it back up again.
They're no longer one of our clients…

^icy/hot in the crotch or itching powder? Lol. Not.

@Giles You could always send the new guy @JoshC down to collect the debt…With his size and love of Rugby, I think most people would pay up in short order...
Thankfully we've never written off a debt...(fingers crossed). At one point we had 200 active accounts. We've downsized and let some of our problems clients go. It's made running the books just a little easier...
-
Well I just hope you are keeping the pirate outfit in case you need to engage in some collections activities yourself, @goosehd

I'm sure mine will go up too @sabergirl Ann. We're a small business so we get get royally screwed. Since my wife owns her own business, she is roped into the crap with me.
The HSA account they offer is crap too. Yes it's pre tax money set aside, but use it or lose it at the end of the year makes no sense to me.

That’s your money, how do they pull that off!?!

@sabergirl 100%. This past summer I left a job that had an objectively horrible impact on my mental health, to the point I was considering checking myself in to an inpatient facility. The problem was the health insurance was so good, and my insurance options elsewhere so bad, that I was seriously considering trying to stick around.
Now I'm somewhere that I'm super happy, but anytime I go to the doctor it feels like I'm gambling with finances. Not to mention that I'm back to essentially paying out of pocket for mental health care.
Without even going into the disparities of rural health care, it's a seriously screwed up system.

I may actually have misspoken about "use it or lose it" Matt @Anesthetist. There's something screwy about it, but i couldn't find it in my backlog of emails that i don't understand regarding healthcare and 401K, etc.

Not derail the thread, but I’d def look into it or talk to a finance person about it. I’m by far not an expert but my financial adviser told me the rules have changed on HSA accounts.

The cost of my healthcare is going way up in 2022. Fuck the USA and our garbage system.

It's unbelievable shit. I've been looking into medicare-mfing asswipes in the district good for nothing but lining their bottomless pockets

Since NC is one of the holdouts that still haven’t even expanded Medicare, even folks who would qualify here can’t do that, either. We are the sickest country in the developed world—though the argument can be made that we are essentially a 3rd world oligarchy when judged from the quality of life of the majority of our citizens.
Medical debt doesn’t exist in any other country. Chew on that as long as you need.

If it’s truly an HSA it is not use it or lose it. It may be an FSA which is a little different…
Edit: sorry just seeing other replies
