Background: I was in high school (public) and our school just got back from quarantine, and had everybody to take a mandatory covid test every week. Our teachers rounded us up and these people swabbed and tested us. We didn’t sign anything, we didn’t ask for this, we were just told to line up and do it.
Now that was last school year, just this week I received a bill from MEDLAB2020 sent to my home with my full name and my insurance information telling me to pay $3700 for that year of weekly COVID tests. Now, I thought this was free, being in a public school and not having signed or agreeing to anything. So I guess I’ll just call the school up the following Monday or something because I’m not paying this.
I did find a post with pretty much the same situation https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19positive/comments/10alt16/received_a_billing_email_from_medlab2020/
Edit: I previously made a post in c/california but wanted to post here to see if I would get more traction. Yes, I live in the US of A if it wasn’t obvious.
Yeah, no.
First of all, you can’t enter into a contract as a minor when the terms are unfavorable and unfair…
You could also argue that you were forced into it under duress.
Finally, contract requires offer and acceptance. You were told to with no option to reject.
I would ask back where you agreeded, and you would like to engage a lawyer. See how they respond.
I was going to get in touch with a lawyer first but my mom told me to contact the school first. So if I can get it settled with the school then it will be less painful to deal with.
Good idea. It’s very likely a scammer.
