Medical Bill?

Posted by admin
InQUIZative asked:


I went to a dentist and had some routine fillings done. I accidentally gave them my medical card who of course didnt pay anything. I moved and changed my phone number in August thinking that because i paid the other bills they had sent in April.

I call to have my teeth cleaned and they say they can’t becase they sent the bill to collections last month. I had dental insurance at the time so they submitted the claim, but is there any way I can change this for my credit report, although I was in error?

      Not until you paid what is owed. Pay the dentist, not the collection agency.

      First try to dispute it with your insurance company. If you pay this bill to the collections agency first. It might be hard to have this taken off your credit report when it shows as paid and it may also be hard to get a refund. If you do get this corrected just send any paper that you get from your insurance company to the credit bureaus and ask them to delete this off your credit report.

      You can write a letter to each, Equifax, Transunion, and Experian, that you intend to pay and a brief “what happened”, they will put that clause out to the side of the debt for you. also pay the dentist, not the collection agency, if you have received a notice from the collection agency, send a letter certified to them that they need to cease and desist all contact with you and you will contact the creditor direct to settle the bill.
