Hi. I am very new to this and this site has a EALTH of info. I was wondering if maybe someone could help me with ideas on how to get this removed...... In 1996 while i was in college I went to Atlanta and got the pink eye. I called my doctor and they told me to go to he emergency room. I did. Well that visit shows on my credit report as an unpaid and is being handled by a angency. Soon after we got 1 bill and my mom sent it to the insurance company...since then we have gotten No correspondence concerning this and definitely nothing saying it was being sent to collections. I will pay the amount ( a WHOPPING $85) but how can I prove to them I recieve only 1 letter and we were under hte impression it had been handled by the insurance company. By the way it was just added on my report in Jan of 2002?!!! Any advice is appreciated! Thank you.
Thanks Kirby..... since it is 6 years old even though it was just put on my report it is scheduled to come off next year...should I just wait?
make them validate! if they do, then make a settlement offer in exchange for deletion. they may respond that they cant delete, but be persistant and let them now that you'll just let it fall off next or they can have their money now. the choice is theirs: take the money now and delete or NEVER GET PAID! also, monitor your CR's to make sure they do not "re-age" this debt.
If you don't mind ol' Smitty asking, what hospital was it? If it's a hospital I'm affiliated with, I may have a contact in the Billing/Cust. Serv. Dept. that could help with this. Let me know. Smitty President, I-Felta-Thi Fraternity
