Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

Here's my story: I was a patient receiving chiropractic treatment. I was told each session was $75 additional for re-evaluations. At the end of my treatment I was told the amount I owed. None of it made sense to me and I was taken to small claims. I finally saw the summary of charges. for each session there were other charges that I wasn't aware of.

So my question is: can they do that? can they say it'll be $75 for each session and then charge me other things that I was not told about, was not aware of and don't recall signing anything for it.

things that over throw the $75, things that all this time I thought were part of the my treatment. not to mention after every session I paid, and not once did I receive notice of my balance or charges. Is there a way around this?

Sounds like you may have had your day in court and lost. If they got a judgment against you could appeal it if the time has not run. If it did then they have a judgement against you which they can execute on. You can either work something out to make payments or you can file bankruptcy to try to discharge the debt.

Hope this helps and good luck to you
