Medical bills do not go off your credit report after seven years like credit does. It stays on for 10 years. We had our credit ruined for 10 years because my husband was hospitalized with no insurance. |

The same way any other unpaid bill does. Unpaid medical bills are no different from unpaid credit card bills. |

If it is something that you have paid, call the company and tell them that they made an error and you want it removed form your credit report. They will then inform the credit report agency that they made an error and to remove it. If it is a bill that you haven't paid, contact the company and see if you can make arrangements to pay it. Many companies will work with you to clear up the outstanding bill. |

If it's been reported that means it's gone to collections.
Medical bills are no different then any other type of bill that goes to collections, your credit score takes a hit and it remains on your report for years. |

They can affect your credit to the point that no bank will touch you. My husband was diagnosed with cancer 5 years ago. Needless to say, our dream of owning a home will either have to wait, or we're going to have to earn every cent of the cost without the luxury of getting a loan, getting the house and then paying for it. We don't have credit cards, never have. The only thing killing our credit is medical bills. |

Anything negative reported will bring down your fico score, if this is the only negative item t won't be too bad. Are you working on paying the medical bill off? |

Medical bills cannot weigh against FICO credit score, don't deal with morons who use collected credit information from other sources which are not held to the same standards as FICO |
