Does the HIPPA process still work for removing med collections?

Are there Medical OC's out there that still violate by using CA's? 

 

I tried this back in 2008 and it worked for a few and other OC's ignored it saying they had to report factual information blah blah. Does this still work or have more OC's been stricter and have a dont give a flip attitude when it comes to removing med collections via the HIPPA process?

It's because the author of the "HIPPA Process", made claim that it is a proprietary method that he owns the sole rights to.  He contacted myFICO making a claim of infringement upon his method.  It is for this reason, and no internal reason of myFICO itself, that it has been a tabboo subject.

It is also an interpretation of statute, not a specific provsion of HIPAA, and is not supported by any precedential case law.

 

Aside, even in the broadest interpretations of HIPAA, I have never seen an assertion that a medical OC violates HIPAA by merely using a debt collector.
