It was supposed to be from a "cheap" guy but when we got the $2010 bill I almost had a heart attack. Never letting a guy do work without a bid again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-unexpected-bill/page/2#post-1810411 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 19:09:27 +0000 lemondrop 1810411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anesthesiologist bill, 4 months later, hopefully the last of our birth bills. My husband started to complain, but I shut that down real fast since Dr. L is my hero and I will pay whatever it takes for his sweet, sweet druggy goodness :silly: </p> <p>And a cracked radiator among other issues on our work car, I told him it would be wise to get the issue fixed before I came home from work in a new car on a 110* day from lack of cooling. Not kidding, this ginger does not tolerate heat well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-unexpected-bill/page/2#post-1810402 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 19:05:56 +0000 MsMini 1810402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The repair/gear replacement bills for my husbands bike, helmet and gear after he was hit by a car on his way home from work.

Check with your insurance. I for a bill for lo's vaccines and it turned out they were counting his pediatrician as "out of network" even though she was in network. </p> <p>We had a problem with our sprinkler system, plumbing, fridge, and ac last week! On the bright side, LO loooved seeing all the repair men here. He kept saying, "guys working! Big working!" Luckily none were huge expenses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-unexpected-bill/page/2#post-1777999 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 09:20:39 +0000 annie624 1777999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not outrageously expensive, but unexpected: We went on vacation in FL the first week of June. Well, last week we received a bill from "Toll-by-Plate"--instead of having to stop at a toll booth, they just track your license plate number and send you a bill! I had no idea this existed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-last-unexpected-bill/page/2#post-1777627 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 07:33:06 +0000 MrsRcCar 1777627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: plan is to call today to see what can be done.
