So we had a doctor that billed the wrong insurance for us. We sent them the correct plan information (they did not update our info in their office after our plan changed over for the new plan year) and the insurance sent them multiple letters asking them to just resubmit the claim and it would be paid, after telling us that we would not be on the hook for any of it as it was all a covered service not subject to deductible or anything (pre-natal well mother visits). Instead of resubmitting it (or even sending us an actual bill) they just sent the whole thing to collections and we started getting calls.

How would we handle something like that? We disputed it with the credit bureau and told the collector to stop contacting us, and it doesn't show on either of our credit reports, but they still will not stop calling us. It has been over a year.

They actually did a COVID expansion. But rather than make it a new disease type, they made "cure mode" where you fight the disease.

That's exactly how it goes.

The doctor's office just told us "we got rid of that already, you'll have to deal with the collection agency".

We just told the collection agency to fuck off and blocked their number, but we keep getting voicemails.

It just kinda blows my mind that they have internet and phone service, plus all the solar power, but haven't put in the tiny amount of effort to get an electric pump.

A 25 GPM submersible pump is $185 at Home Depot. https://www.homedepot.com/p/XtremepowerUS-1-HP-Submersible-2-Wire-Deep-Well-Water-Pump-115-Volt-184-ft-25-GPM-75120/308950632

Running water is such a major quality of life thing, and it's so cheap. I don't know why anyone would willingly choose to not have it. Even just the time saved on not having to manually draw water would be worth the couple hundred bucks.

You would set it up to feed into a pressurized holding tank, and that would be what gives you the running water for the house. Fill it during the day when you have solar power, and the tank will carry you through the night if you need water.
