Reply to comment by KnownIceEater in UPMC billed me for a stranger's appointment - has this happened to anyone else? by [deleted]

Strange but still not entirely difficult for a bill collector to track someone down, it's their job after all.

I'd put it this way ... if I were you I'd be glad they "found" you. Otherwise you get listed as delinquent then you'd have the pleasure of not only proving this was your bill but having to deal with far worse creditors for delinquency and a mark on your credit, which you probably don't find out about until you're trying to take out a significant loan.

I'm sure if you work with the billing department they will remove you from this bill and you will be none the worse to wear

Sometimes it's best to look outside these things. Big huge bills that you can't afford can be be scary
