Medical Bills and Credit Reports
Date: Fri, 03/14/2008 - 13:36
I am 25 years old and just requested my first credit report. Overall my FICO score was great and my report was very positive. To my surprise I found a Dr. Bill in collections for $162. I NEVER knew about this-- it was related to a surgery I had several years ago. At the time of my surgery I was covered under my parents insurance in addition the completely financially supported me. The bill was for above and beyond what the insurance covered. My parents opted not to pay this bill and now I am on the hook for it. Is there anything I can do it get this off my report?
