As far as paying them, I don't plan on making a single payment until I have all my ducks in order. Even then, I can't forsee paying anything. We used this dentist because it was the only one that covered all my work through insurance.
I do care about my credit. I own my own house already so I am not planning on any BIG purchases. But at the same time, I don't want the collection agency f*ing me. This is the first time I have ever had to deal with the bullsh*t.

Under NO circumstances should you tell the dentist or the debt. collectors that you want to pay the debt. off in order to get info. That is basically saying that you agree that you owe it and most collectors record their calls and they would use that to prove that you Do owe the money.
If you can get copies of the payments from the old insurance company, do that and then fax them to the collectors along with a note stating that this proof should end any further contact from them and if they do not desist, you will file harrassment charges against them.
