Need Help With Small Claims Court Issue

[Harper]

In August/September. my child visited the dentist and that I applied my ex husbands dental insurance-but he was rescheduling the dental component soon after that and so I told them they had better document it rapidly therefore the state didnt get denied.  the sum total was like 270.00 and that I am being prosecuted in small-claims judge for that amt of 306.00 (18%curiosity of dentist incorporated)  We reside in a city where half is Tennessee and half is Va.  I reside in Virginia and dentist office is in Tn.  I named the dentist attorney who'd delivered me documents via licensed mail.  I wasnt house so my spouse closed for them (Is that correct support?)  additionally they'd the incorrect name about the documents, I don't bring my partners last name on my drivers permit or something plus they had my correct name followed closely by his last name, (is the fact that controversial?)&d... In whatever way I never received any factor from inches company (since its in ex's title) from dental workplace just they stated it wouldnt spend, I sensed I ought to possess some backup of this too.  main point here is in my opinion I ought to pay the 306.00  nevertheless when I named attorneys workplace to inquire about it she unfortunate I really could pay before courtroom which could be ok however the new stability could be 725.00 approximately, after I questioned why she stated since it was 130.00 to document it and an additional 40.00 charge to mix state collections (they shipped finished certified mail) doesnt that use if you have a magistrate deliever it?  SHe said it was these fees in addition to lawyers fees, and that I stated for what? we havent visited court nevertheless?  She stated "the court often enables us an attorneys fees for these kinds of instances and its own often about 250.00,  and he or she said easily made preparations to create funds the attorney for that dentist might allow the judge understand we achieved an arrangement but he'd go right ahead and find reasoning against me to be certain it had been on report . Additionally that I didnt have to exhibit up for courtroom. Well anything dosent appear to me, it appears as though the end result may be the same should you attempt to use them-and spend the statement or visit courtroom, she stated easily ignore it to court it'd be greater in curiosity (at 18% with lawyer costs, and all)  she also stated when they got reasoning it'd not continue my credit record since the authorized office or the dentist are accountable to the credit bureau.  I believed public report court such things as that continued your credit, personally I think this lawyer is questionable and I don't trust this offer, what would you state?
