I had to pay a small medical bill once and everytime I called it would take me to an answering machine after 2 or 3 minutes. They would call back after 1 or 2 hours and by that time I'm usually at work so I couldn't answer my phone since I'm driving. I just ended up giving up and stopped trying to pay it. IDK what happened to it.
