There is absolutely no chance that the hospital didn't attempt to collect this debt from you multiple times before turning it over to a debt collector. ZERO chance. They have without question attempted to call you and sent you multiple invoices before deciding "frick this deadbeat" and turning you over to a collections agency.

Just admit it, you refused to pay thinking the debt would just go away and now it's in collection.

And given that we now know you have lied about this story here on an anonymous message board, we must surmise that you probably have several bills in collection right now and your credit rating sucks anyway so no this probably won't hurt it further.
