She started charging my card without informing me for care and equipment etc. and I found she charged my credit card over $11,000. She will not give me a bill and will not send in my insurance claim to PETPLAN for which I pay nearly $1000 a year for protection for this very reason to make sure I am not it with any big bills. She always has excuses, (she is sick, her employee is sick, she is to busy posting spiritual videos on Facebook, etc etc. She had him for about a week, back in Janurary at her home business. Is there anything I can do? Do I have any recourse? I cannot afford this bill without the insurance payment. I am beside myself. Would appreciate any thoughts or advice on this matter.
Thank you so much, I am so worried! |
If your vet is not licensed, does she have any type of oversight agency who checks on her credentials, training, experience in veterinary care, her skill at veterinary care and tries to prevent just this type of bad faith vet business practice, keeps tracks of her CME, requires she meet certain criteria every so often to re-certify her to keep treating animals, before ever touching any helpless pet in your county or state? If so, official notify her in writing that you will register a formal complaint with that agency.
If not, check with an assistant D.A. for your city or a lawyer to see what you can do. And yes, tell your credit card company what happened and see what options you have with them.
