Metro Paramedics No service requested/recieved $600 charge ripoff unwilling to resolve Elmhurst Illinois

At College lecture I passed out then woke up and threw up. I had not been feeling well since I woke up that morning but still attended lecture.

The professor called the nurse who then proceded to contact the paramedics to arrive. The paramedics arrived they talked to me (asked the date and day of week) then they had a blood pressure monitor/pulse rate device that they said "we are just going to hook this up to you and check your vitals OK?". I said "OK".

The paramedics and school nurse then recommended I go to the hospital so they could give me some flu medicine. I declined to go. Then they told me I needed to sign on a tablet to decline services.

I have since recieved statements for $600 for services. I have contacted them and explained the situation to them and they refuse to stop trying to collect the money even though I was never told about any charges and I declined thier services.

When I called I was told that of regardless of who calls the paramedics and whether or not the "patient" refuses services there is a charge to be paid by the "patient". I told them I did not call them and declined thier services and did not think it fair that I be billed.
Their idea of resolution was to offer me a payment plan.

This company does not seem to care at all about thier "customers" whose lives and credit they are ruining because of thier unethical business practices and unwillingness to resolve complaints.
