Warning: I almost messed up my credit score by ignoring a $35 medical bill from a Phoenix clinic last year.

It went to collections without me knowing, and my score dropped 40 points before I found out by checking my free annual report, so has anyone else had a small bill sneak up on them like that?

My dentist sent a $22 bill to an old address last month.

Honestly sounds like a simple mistake to me.

Phoenix clinics and dentists like Mia700's seem to run on this shady billing playbook.

My cousin had the same thing happen with a parking ticket.
