Question
In September 2008 I was taken to the the hospital by ambulance. It was out of network and I appealed it to my insurance. The ambulance service provide had been aware of my appeal on the $695.50 bill. On My 27 I was put into collection for the bill. On June 9 my insurance approved it and sent an additional $537. However, the collection agency is still going to charge me $390 because it is their fee. Is it legal to charge a $231 fee.

Answer
Fawne:

Generally, no.  Sounds as if they're trying to pull one over on you.  At this point, I'd recommend retaining an attorney.  If you're in Tennessee, we at Apex Credit Services know an excellent consumer attorney at Barnette Law Offices.  He's in Nashville but, does a very good job with FCRA/FDCPA cases.  

Otherwise, check out or google NACA for an attorney in your state.
