“$1,387.50. Another bill for $2,007. And, I’ve been dealing with this since August. (I) can’t get it straight. And he (John) can fight this, I can barely fight this. I’ve got three rooms full of papers.I just want them to get it together and work this out because there has been a bad mistake. They have not communicated.”
