Legal Question in Consumer Law in Utah
Dental Charges - Somthing isn't right?
One year ago, I went in for a toothache. The dentist looked at my teeth and said I need a crown and an overlay. I made an a new appt. Later that week, I lost my job and didn't dare go back because I lost dental insurance and income.
I subsequently get nasty bills in the mail stating that I owe $1,200 for two office visits. Followed by letters from attorneys until such a time as my checks were garnished. Still, only two dental visits, and one was a cleaning. Is this right?

Re: Dental Charges - Somthing isn't right?
It does not sound right, but if you got garnished you were sued first. You should have gone to court to object. If you fail to appear at a court hearing a default judgment is issued. It can be appealed within 90 days....
