My daughter left her car at the dealership for recall repairs. They fixed the car and told my daughter to come pick it up; that it would be parked at a certain place in their outdoor lot. By the time she got there after work to pick it up somebody had stolen the catalytic converter off it. The...

I apologize for not being perfect according to your way of thinking. I hope you had a blessed day today.

To protect both her privacy and also safety. Apparently I slipped and used the pronoun "her" so my bad. For all I know there may be staff at her facility who read this forum, and I wouldn't want anything bad to happen as a result of me posting about this situation here.

First I want to apologize for asking a long and complicated question. I wasn't sure what category to put it in so I put it here. I believe I asked a similar question here some time ago, but (a) this is different, and (b) I couldn't find my previously asked question either. I have an elderly...

I own a house that I'm not currently living in. I contract with someone to keep up the yard. To my great surprise I recently received a mailing indicating that I missed a municipal court date (that I didn't know about) and that a guilty plea had been entered on my behalf and a warrant issued for...

I unexpectedly received a one time bonus from my employer, "to recognize your contributions in response to COVID-19 and changing work environments while continuing to provide exceptional service." I am surprised and grateful. It was a substantial bonus. Thinking ahead about income taxes: they...

This is about an application for a volunteer position at my church. Things have really changed! Seems like just a few years ago if they said they needed volunteers & you said, "I can do that," everybody applauded & praised God & you got handed the work. Recently they asked me to volunteer to...

This was really helpful - Thanks!

Thanks all. I know you can't possibly know whether it's correct or not without the documents, but neither can I. I was mostly trying to figure out whether it's worth an ugly and distasteful battle to try to get her to show me the documents, or whether there's some plausible way it could make...

My 95-year-old Aunt told me she had to pay $4000 in Federal Taxes and $1000 in State taxes this year. She had to take out a loan to pay it. Somehow this doesn't seem right to me. She lives in an Assisted Living facility and has 3 sources of income, most of which she pays in monthly rent to...

Okay, it might be surgery, but is it really $4000 dollar surgery? For something one person did at my bedside in my room that took only 15 minutes? That seems awfully high to me.

New question: I managed to get some info from the hospital. This is not anything they've sent me yet (i.e., they haven't sent me a bill yet; I got it from their billing department by being a pest). It's a list of the charges they submitted to my health insurance company and what the insurance...

Thanks. I have to sit down and read my employer's health insurance policy to figure out what it does and doesn't cover. It does have a Max out-of-pocket but I'm not sure whether that also includes the co-insurance (I always have to pay 10% of every medical bill out-of-pocket with a couple of...

Okay, I found information listed under my hospital account that says the hospital billed the insurance company for $64,000 (plus change) and the insurance company has only agreed to pay $47,000 (plus change) so I could potentially end up owing the hospital $17,000 (plus change) PLUS whatever any...

Thanks everyone. Clearly I have more homework to do here. I was just thinking that if I wind up having to pay, e.g., $15,000 or $30,000 or $1,000,000 for bills not covered by my insurance, I'd rather not throw away $1,500 and then pay whatever the total amount is after throwing away $1,500...
