Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida
A local dentist was PAID IN FULL (by me) following each of 6 visits. I was supposed to receive a bridge, but the temporary did not fit well, and the permanent did not fit at all, and was rejected. At the conclusion of this visit, I notified (and can document) that the dentist was told not to make a permanent bridge, because he said I would owe $1700 to keep the temporary, or $3000 for the permanent bridge. In the 6 visits I had already paid $9,200. When I had reached the $5000 limit, I became alarmed and asked him how much more--he said he only needed a little more work...his office assistant said the bridges were already paid for (I can document this). This dentist debited my account after each visit, building a $1700 unapid balance. (Charges of $600 for novacaine were not unusual in this debiting). He has been sending monthly bills, first for the $1700, and lately for $3000, and today's billing included interest and added up to $4000. How does one handle this guy. I have the broken temporary bridge to return, any time he stops billing me. One last thing, he never presented me with a dental plan until after all the work had been done.

The first thing you could do would be to send him a certified letter revoking his authority to bill against your debit card. You might also contest the bills and request a meeting to discuss them.
