I need to get out of here.
I need to sell my stuff and just focus on recovering from an unexpected surgery.
Tried to pay the hospital bill, but my insurance had been canceled.
Knowing I was to be released on Tuesday, the company had called and canceled my insurance Monday.
The bill tripled.
I explained to the hospital I didn’t have the money.
I explained that once I sold my furniture from my house, I could pay.
The company told me I might as well stay in the hospital and think over my situation.
I was locked in the hospital for two days for lack of payment.
While in the hospital, the company entered my apartment and changed the locks.
A friend went to my apartment with the police to open the door just so that I could get my daily medicine. We were refused and told it was a civil matter.
Another friend intervened regarding the bill, and though I was in so much pain and could barely walk, I only needed to pay 150% of my insured rate, instead of 300%.
I had no place to go when I got out, so I resorted to a locksmith so that I could at least enter the apartment for my medication. The landlord arrived as we attempted to open the lock. He sent the locksmith away. I agreed to meet with the company representative, but asked him to meet me halfway or in between because doctor’s orders were I should just be recovering.
They refused. I had to go to them.
Finally, I was let in. Thank God all my things were still there.
I’m in a bind and need to sell a ton of items and appliances now.
I picked and bought all the items and most are less than a year old because the company didn’t furnish my apartment at all. They just gave me an empty room.
I need to get out of here.
I can’t even afford a ticket to leave Korea after hospital fees and the company’s fees for the apartment.
Selling Furniture = Freedom to Leave Korea + Chance to Recover
Thanks for your time, patience, and consideration.
