I would welcome any feed-back on the following minor (but annoying) situation. I had root-canal treatment last September (cost 450 euros). I paid the "second" installment of 200 euros in October and I took that to be the end of it, However, I got a phone call from the dentist this morning to say that on checking their records, they discovered that I had'nt paid the first installment of 250 euros.(Apparently, an entry in their books for a payment of 25 euros for a routine visit I paid around the same time in September was mis-read as the payment of 250 euros). Up to today, I hadn't realised that I owed them anything.
So what to do now? Pay the 250 euros straight away? Tell them, "sorry, too late"? Ask them to agree to a compromise payment of say, 200 euros? Escape to Brazil and hope that I never again have any dental problems?!
