There could be a civil suit against you? After all, so it seems you have not paid back what you owe and promised, by signing a contract? How would you feel if someone stiffed you on a 600 quid debt? You are the one in the wrong, you do realize that? For taking the debt in the first place, for not having been responsible to have saved so as to avoid taking the debt, and then not paying it back in a timely manner. The best advice is: next time be responsible.

Wow, thanks for being so understanding. I actually am not in the wrong here. I was unconscious at the time I incurred this particular debt, as, had you read the OP, it was for assisting during emergency surgery. Which was supposed to be fully covered under my insurance policy.
Racking up my $50,000 medical debt due to said emergency surgery (appendectomy, to be precise) that my health insurance SHOULD cover, but had decided they didn't want to, doesn't exactly weigh heavily on my conscience. I am not ignoring it (I've got money, and could have easily paid this given the chance, which is why this tactic was so bothersome), in fact I have spent the last nine months fighting it in appeals, and have kept all creditors up to date on my battle, and none of them had so far given me any indication that they'd be happy to wait for the insurance to settle...so far I've pried $48,000 (all rightfully mine, per the contract I had with them) out of the greedy buggers, and this was part of the last $2000 remaining that they keep refusing to pay.
Anyways, I paid all remaining $2000 of the balances (including this one) on the off chance any of the other people decide to get all prosecuty, and am now trying for reimbursement instead of payment.
yeah, in conclusion, the medical system in the US RULES!!! Hopefully obama doesn't lead us into the EVILS of SOCIALIZED MEDICINE oooOooOooOOO *makes sarcastic spooky noises*
