Many medical service providers abuse consumers by reporting defaults on medical bills without ever presenting that bill to their patients. Often, this conduct arises because the medical provider has failed to properly bill a third-party payer for the service or missed the deadline for submission. Additionally, these service providers may also engage in "balance billing," an illegal practice where the medical provider bills the consumer for charges that are prohibited under the agreement with the insurance provider.
No matter the reason why these bills are illegal, they should not be the cause of a credit score drop. If you have medical debt on your credit report that is dragging your credit score down, you may have remedies.
