What Really Happens If You Skip Medical Bills

Ever wondered what happens if you just ignore those medical bills piling up? Spoiler: it’s not pretty. Unpaid bills can tank your credit score, get your wages garnished, and haunt your credit report for up to 7 years. But here’s a tip—debt collectors might settle for less than you owe, so don’t ghost them! Always double-check your bills for errors and know your rights (thanks, surprise billing laws). Bottom line: ignoring it makes things worse, but you’ve got options if you act smart. #MedicalDebt #Adulting #MoneyMatters #Health #BodyHealth
