    Who: Corrina Hunt, 28, Jacksonville, Fla.
    Occupation: Lawyer, Farrah & Farrah
    Hunt unexpectedly got sick while in college with a bad case of food poisoning, and despite having insurance, her co-pay wound up being around $1,000.
    “My parents told me they weren’t paying for it and I was in college and was really poor. I just couldn’t afford to pay that amount. So I just ignored the payment.
    The hospital immediately sent her to collections, which has hurt her credit score. Hunt says she didn’t realize there were options like setting up a payment plan or negotiating the price and in turn, she was dogged by collection agencies for four years.
