Some places will garnish you for unpaid medical bills depending on the amount. My cousin is actually being garnished right now for a $478 medical bill that was sent to collections. Even if she can't pay them in full, she should try to send small payments as she can...every little bit will help. She can even contact the collection agency to see about payment arrangements.

Eventually I will pay them, as I have her Power of Attorney for finances. However, she just got back to work after being out on disability for 3 months and hospitalized; has 2 special needs children and is separated from her husband.
I am prioritizing paying back the creditors. Rent first, car payment etc. I pulled her credit report yesterday and saw these old collections. As I want to clean up her credit (before I croak) I wanted to know if was better to do it sooner than later. Eventually they WILL be paid. I was unaware of them until yesterday.
