In 2009, we had several medical expenses that were covered by the EBM insurance totaling about $18,000. Two years later, the insurance company still has not paid anything towards these bills. EBM had a lawyer working on this, and the insurance company has admitted responsibility, and have even cut the checks for these bills. However, they don’t have the money to pay the bills. Instead of taking action against the insurance company, these medical facilities are taking action against us. We have been receiving letters from lawyers and creditors demanding payment. We have forwarded these to EBM and their lawyer has been going to the creditors on our behalf. The creditors are still after us, and it has hurt our credit. On Tuesday, I talked to a lawyer who was at the EBM home office, and he told me that we should ask our churches if they know of a Christian lawyer that could help us. We aren’t asking for money to pay these bills, but for someone who could help us with the creditors.
If you know of someone, please let us know, as one of these creditors will be reporting this to the credit agencies in the beginning of September. Three of these creditors have already hurt our credit.
Thanks and God bless.
