Hello friends
I am on travel visa to US B1/B2 for a post graduation as a doctor.I had travel insurance during which I suffered an injury and had to make an emergency visit.The hospital kept on sending me the bills but since I am not earning I can’t pay the bills.Now they’v forwarded the case to a collecting agency.The hospital people have my passport no. and insurance details page.The insurance people ask me to pay it and then claim it which never works(as its from India).I am scared at this letter.Can they file a case against me?Can it affect my career?Should I call them up or just keep ignoring it?Should I tell someone to call and say I have moved places and they dont know where I am now.Its a 1000 USD bill and I really cant pay it since I dont earn.Everyone I am asking says ignore it.M confused??((
