常见问题

Is medical debt still reported on credit reports in 2026?

Most medical debt has been removed from credit reports. The three major bureaus no longer include medical collections under $500, paid medical collections, or medical debt less than 12 months old. However, some larger unpaid medical debts may still appear.

Did the CFPB medical debt rule pass?

The CFPB finalized a rule to remove all medical debt from credit reports and prohibit medical debt from being used in credit decisions. However, legal challenges have created uncertainty about full implementation. Check current status as this is an evolving situation.

Can medical debt still affect my credit score?

For most people, no. FICO 9, FICO 10, and VantageScore 4.0 already weight paid medical collections at zero. With the bureaus removing most medical debt from reports entirely, the impact has been dramatically reduced compared to previous years.

What should I do about old medical debt on my credit report?

First, check if it should have been removed under current rules (under $500, already paid, or less than 12 months old). If it should not be there, dispute it. If it is a larger unpaid medical debt, negotiate with the provider or collection agency, then dispute if necessary.
