Medical Bills on Your Credit Report: The New Rules They Won't Enforce for You
from The Credit Show
The headlines said medical debt was gone from credit reports. The reality is more complicated — and more costly if you believe the hype. Harry Jacobs breaks down exactly what changed in 2023 and 2025 around medical debt reporting, why the bureaus are not automatically applying the new rules to existing files, and what that means for your credit score right now. Learn the three-step medical debt action plan: how to identify medical collections that should already be removed, how to dispute them correctly, and why you should never pay a medical bill in collections without a written agreement first. If you have any medical items on your credit report — paid or unpaid — this episode could be worth dozens of points.If you would like a free consultation with Harry Jacobs at Credit Restoration of Nevada, text CREDIT or call 702-778-2000.
