My dentist over-charged me on a visit. I brought this up to him and he said he wouldn't charge me on another visit a week later. He told his secretary (also runs his billing) just before the 2nd visit. However, I got a $78 bill. My wife had to get her teeth cleaning a few days later and she brought it up and the dentist told the same secretary to drop the bill.
I got a letter about the $78 bill. I called the office and the secretary said she would not drop the bill and it would go to collections on 12/28, she also mentioned to me the bill was never a mistake.
Clearly this person will not drop the bill. Should I pay $78 or take the ding on the credit and try to fight it? Also I am going to a apply for a business loan in about 9 months, so I'm leaning towards paying it.
