The nationโs three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) have announced consumer favorable changes to medical collection debt reporting. The changes will help support consumers faced with unexpected medical bills. And itโs anticipated that the three reporting agencies joint measures will remove nearly 70% of medical collection debt tradelines from consumer credit reports.
Effective July 1, 2022, paid medical collection debt will no longer be included on consumer credit reports. In addition, the time period before unpaid medical collection debt would appear on a consumer’s report will be increased from 6 months to one year, giving consumers more time to work with insurance and/or healthcare providers to address their debt before it is reported on their credit file. In the first half of 2023, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion will also no longer include medical collection debt under at least $500 on credit reports.
