Had not thought of it this way. Thanks.

Same here. It just sucks that the “scene” enables this kind of shithead behavior and it lead to this. Just absolutely horrible

Go to the casino or get NBA league pass. Nobody is putting that game on TV at a random bar unless you’re the only patron there

Reply to Giant Eagle sold food almost 4 months out of date at a big discount. Is this weird or nah? by puddinteeth
I know it's fine and that expiry dates are more like guidelines. I've just never seen GE do this before.

Strange but still not entirely difficult for a bill collector to track someone down, it's their job after all.
I'd put it this way ... if I were you I'd be glad they "found" you. Otherwise you get listed as delinquent then you'd have the pleasure of not only proving this was your bill but having to deal with far worse creditors for delinquency and a mark on your credit, which you probably don't find out about until you're trying to take out a significant loan.
I'm sure if you work with the billing department they will remove you from this bill and you will be none the worse to wear

They gave me the person's first name, tho I agree their privacy wasn't really violated. I was just surprised to hear it, and that the billing people have access to that level of detail about an appointment. As for the mail... I didn't forward my mail when I moved! And the customer service rep said my old address was the only one in their system.

If looking for a hole in the wall, try Big Jim’s In The Run. Just across the bridge in Greenfield.

Went to William Penn for the FAU game and it was cramped without much seating. Settled on on No Name Pub in Upper Lawrenceville and liked it a lot. Heat or Raptors fan? Co owner is from South Florida so will be at home :)

As concerning as having something billed that isn't my responsibility, Its not sharing a strangers medical info if they didn't disclose another patients name or personal identification.
As far as how they got your address ... when you moved how did the rest of your mail find you? Its not creepy, if you forwarded your mail its not a secret where you moved to.

Same folks that ran Bella Ria's. They were amazing then and have really stepped it up. There is nothing bad on the menu and their pastries and desserts are all fantastic, too.

Yes, it happens.
In fact, I know someone who paid their copay at their appointment, only to have their payment be credited to someone else’s account, which they learned when they were billed for it a few weeks later. Always get a receipt!

Before assuming this is just a UPMC problem, I would also make sure you haven't been the victim of identity theft

I’m not sure if they’ll have that game on, as Pittsburgh in general doesn’t have a large basketball fan base, but they do have the best wings in the city so you’ll be happy regardless.

Yeah, that's why OnePGH was garbage. Thank you for outlining.

I'm glad I could help you freak out less about 8)
Sometimes it's best to look outside these things. Big huge bills that you can't afford can be be scary
