About six months ago, I had a procedure done. At that time, I made a verbal agreement with the doctor's office that I would make monthly payments to pay off the debt. Recently, the office has changed management, and now all payment is due at the time of the procedure. Last week, I went in for a followup appointment and the receptionist explained to me that I would need to pay for my new procedure before it was performed. I advised her that I could not afford that and that I would be changing doctors. However, the conversation turned bad. Besides the money they wanted me to pay for the new procedure, I was still in debt to them for the old procedure. In anger, I wrote a check (for the old procedure) that I knew would not clear my bank and walked out. On my way home, I called my bank and stopped payment on the check. I wrote my doctor's office a letter explained what I did. Today, I received a call from the doctor's office stating they were suing me for stopping payment on a check in which the services had already been rendered.
Can they really sue me for this?
