Can An Unpaid Medical Bill Affect My Credit?
While it certainly is not uncommon for medical collections to appear on credit reports, how it affects credit depends on the lenders
discretion. Institutions vary as to how to deal with a person’s medical bills. In instances where you are attempting to finance or
refinance a home loan, it depends on the mortgage company’s underwriting criteria as to whether medical collections must be paid
off as a stipulation for approval.
The bottom line is the only way you can be sure an unpaid medical bill will not affect your credit report is to pay it. You also have other
options, you could negotiate with collection agencies to either work out a payment that you can afford, dispute erroneous bills, or write
an explanation of the situation that can be attached to your credit report.
