Do you get phone calls from bill collectors?

WTF am I supposed to do when I have no money? It's medical bills. A day in the hospital is almost $10,000 and I don't have it. I tried paying them monthly but to them it wasn't enough and they sent my bills to collections anyway. I HATE AMERICA.

Is there a National Debt Helpline in the US?
If so, ring them and explain your situation. They may contact the Agency and help arrange a payment option.
Go online and find a free Financial Counseling service.
Seek help before it gets out of control.

@Gusman I have a job, a house, a kid and I can't do everything.

@StokedFox If you do not come to some arrangement then they have the right to take stuff from your home equivalent to to the amount owing. Yes, it is disgraceful but they have the power to do that. Seek help from those there to help. Go on line. Help is out there but you got to look for it and ask for it.

@Gusman lol that will be cute because I have nothing. Are they going to take my soup? My son's clothes? My son?

@StokedFox I hear you. Then if you have nothing, they can garnishee your wages/welfare. Remember it is a Capitalist System, Capitalism come first.
Please seek advice?
