자주 묻는 질문

How do I remove medical debt under $500 from my credit report?

Pull free reports from AnnualCreditReport.com, confirm it's under $500 and medical, then dispute online or by mail citing the 2023 bureau policy. Bureaus must investigate within 30 days and often remove it automatically.

Are the 2026 medical debt rules still in effect after the CFPB rule was vacated?

Yes, the voluntary changes from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion (under $500 removed, paid debts gone, 365-day wait) remain fully active. The CFPB's full ban was struck down, but these provide nationwide relief.

Does paid medical debt ever show up on credit reports now?

No, paid medical collections are automatically removed, regardless of amount or payment time. If it's still there, dispute it immediately.

What if my medical collection is over $500, can I still remove it?

Not automatically, but check for errors (80% have them), negotiate pay-for-delete, or use the grace period. State bans may help too.

How long does it take to see my score improve after medical debt removal?

Typically 30-45 days as bureaus update and scores recalculate. Average boost: 20 points.

Which states ban medical debt on credit reports in 2026?

At least 15, including California, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington. Check your state AG site, national rules apply everywhere else.
