What To Do When A Medical Bill Is Sent To Collections Without Notice

Medical bills can be sent to collections w/o notice. That's because they assume you know what you owe after insurance. Having a collection on your credit report is bad news. Luckily, you can dispute inaccurate collections. While DIY credit repair is an option, it's easier w/help from a pro (like Credit Glory).

What happens if a medical bill goes to collections w/o notice?

Unfortunately, this happens more than you think. Unpaid medical bills can be sent to collections without notifying you first. That's because they assume you know the remaining amount not covered by insurance. As a result, you might be in for a nasty surprise the next time you apply for a loan or new line of credit.

Having a collection on your credit report is bad news. Not only do they tank your score by as much as 100 points — they stay on for 7 years! Poor credit makes qualifying for a good deal on loans difficult. Often times your only options are ones with expensive, high-interest rates. So what can you do?

Can you remove collections from your credit report?

While you can't dispute verified debts, you can dispute errors on your report. Finding inaccuracies can be tricky, so what do you look for? Common areas to check for errors include:

• Personal information

• Inaccuracies w/account status

• Fraudulent accounts

• Balance errors

• Data mistakes

Finding these errors is tricky (& time-consuming). Working with a credit repair expert (like Credit Glory) speeds up & simplifies the process.

What can you do to remove collections (& what is the easiest way)?

Inaccurate collections hurt your credit — luckily, you have options. Weighing your options before you start is essential to find the easiest way to remove errors.

• Negotiate a pay for delete agreement - In some cases, negotiating a pay for delete agreement may get the debt removed from your credit report. Be careful, though. This approach isn't guaranteed — and falls in an ethical gray area.

• Request validation (& DIY credit repair) - You have the right to dispute inaccuracies on your credit report. If the negative item can't be validated, your next step is to dispute it. Unfortunately, DIY credit repair can be a headache (& it's time-consuming).

• Partner w/a credit repair pro - Looking for errors & disputing a collection yourself is stressful. Seeking professional help is less of a hassle than DIY. Credit repair experts (like Credit Glory) know what to look for, making the dispute process easier.
