Billed when I was a minor
Date: Sat, 09/13/2008 - 12:34
Little did i know that in 2003 (i was only 15 at the time) a medical bill was filed under my name. When I called Medicredit corp they talked me into payin the bill, so i did. Now I can not get a phone call back from anyone. I have no receipt to even prove that i did pay, i paid with a debt card, and its still on my credit report.
I have no idea what to do. Can anyone please give me advice. Can they legally do this to a minor?
First, on your credit report, is it showing with a dollar amount
First, on your credit report, is it showing with a dollar amount due, or that it is paid - zero amount due? Even tho a collection account is paid, it will still show on your credit report, as paid.
What I would do, IMHO, I would dispute it directly with the credit bureaus, stating explaining that you were a minor, etc. and request that they remove it. Make sure you send all letters certified mail, return receipt requested. If the CRA's don't remove it, then do the following...
Send a letter to Medicredit Corp requesting that they remove the listing on your report b/c you were not responsible b/c you were a minor.
It will take a little work, but this should work out.
Minors can be held responsible for certain contracts, especially
Minors can be held responsible for certain contracts, especially if it is deemed a necessity. Medical would be deemed a necessity.

Being a minor is not a defense for derogatory credit reportin
Being a minor is not a defense for derogatory credit reporting. If the debt was not set aside, it is valid.
