Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union Announce Important Changes to Medical Collections Reporting

3/29/2022

The major credit bureaus – Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union – announced they will no longer report paid medical debt on consumer credit reports, effective July 1, 2022. In addition, the bureaus stated they will increase the timeframe to begin reporting open medical collections from six months to one year. Finally, the credit bureaus announced they will not report medical collection accounts under $500 starting in 2023. The national credit bureaus estimate these changes will result in removing approximately 70% of medical collections from consumer credit reports.

If you have medical collections reporting on your credit profiles or are receiving collection calls for unpaid medical debts, you should contact a Las Vegas consumer attorney to discuss your legal rights.

Hey! Are you looking to fix your poor credit? In order to qualify for better rates, or get higher credit limits. I will strongly recommend 760Plus Credit Score; they are fast, secure and reliable. They came through for me, while I was in dire need of a miracle. Helped me erase all the irregularities on my report and my score went up by almost 200 points. And I think it’s permanent, it’s been three days and nothing is coming back. You should reach out to them today if you are in need of a credit fix via 760pluscreditscore at gmail dot com.

My credit score had been low for a very long time due to some negative items. About a month ago I hired 760Plus Credit Score to help me fix my credit. Their service is top notch; 11 Hard inquiries, 8 collections, 2 charge offs and an eviction deleted so far . My Equifax report went from 681 to 754 in 30 days, I have zero negative accounts now. I have been giving guidelines to keep my credit on the right track. I'm recommending their service as promised. You can reach out to them via 760pluscreditscore@gmail.com
