Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
The Hospital that I owe money to has told me that they would accept a lower amount to cover all accounts that I have open with them. My insurance company has sent me (made out to me) a check that is for more than what the Hospital has told me they would accept. Can this come back to hurt me if I pay the agreed upon amount and used the left over to pay other bills?

It's your lucky day. Get the deal in writing from the hospital -- that they are accepting $X as payment in full -- and pay by bank check.
