Q: Someone made a therapy appointment for me without my knowledge or consent to a company I have not used in 3 years
I have not been to this therapist or company in three years nor do I even live in the same state it’s in. Unsure if it’s a family member, or the company themselves scheduling the appointments.. as the company is known for only trying to get as many clients and as much money as possible. Can I sue whoever is making these appointments with my information against my will?
A: Yes, it's possible you could sue, or at least accomplish a cease and desist to the conduct. First try to learn what the situation is, whether it is on the part of the medical office or someone harassing you. In the meantime, until you are able to determine the source, monitor your monthly financial statements and insurance correspondence carefully to be certain that no one is rubber-stamping services on your behalf. Also, if the office has a policy of charging for missed appointments, let them know that you are not making any appointments at this time. Good luck
