Consumer Complaint: Okay, so short story is, I was in a XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2017. My car insurance ( XXXX XXXX ) was supposed to pay the hospital and emergency ambulance bill. They paid neither. I found out when my credit score took a 60 point hit when XXXX XXXX XXXX popped up with the ambulance debt to XXXX. This is when I discovered they paid neither bill. I had to pay the hospital bill, and I contacted XXXX XXXX to explain that I was promised all of this was taken care of by the insurance company I had been with for three years.
The rep, on a recorded line, refused my insistence that this either needed to be sent to my insurance, or my health insurance applied to it. He said it was ” 100 % my fault, and I was the only one who would be paying it. ” I refused and told them to contact my health insurance or car insurance, both of which were furnished to XXXX at the time of the accident. I’ve been called several times since then and they still refuse to accept that I’m not paying the full amount. My health insurance has a deductible for ambulance rides of {$120.00}. If my insurance company lied to me and is refusing to cover the bills I paid extra for them to cover, then my health insurance should have been applied. XXXX XXXX is refusing either and insisting I pay the full amount. My phone line is recorded. I have these conversations.
