*Raises hand* I'm one of them. I had to file bankruptcy recently, and have a court date coming up, but, unfortunately, seems I'm going to have to miss it (because of the job offer I got in Japan). So, which means my medical bills are going to end up even more delinquent than they already are.
Unless I can find an English-speaking Notary and do a phone hearing over in Japan, I'm screwed.
