MED BILLS FROM CA NOT ON FICO REPORT???

When I pulled my fico score yesterday, one of my accounts that i know is in collections (b/c they call/send letters) was not on the report. Does anyone know why? The report that I received with my fico score, is that my credit report? B/c there wasn't a lot of detailed info for me to contact/send letters to the CA...any advice?

Where did you pull your report/scores from?
 
If they are not there now, does not mean they won't show up later.

I pulled it through this web site, when I got my fico score, the report that came with it.
 
I understand that it may show up, I'm just not understanding why it didn't, when I pulled my cr from freecreditreport.com a few months ago and it was on that as a judgment. But i think on here it didn't say judgment.

Did you pull just one report/score or all 3?  They only have to report to one. You may not have pulled the report they're sending info to.

I didn't think a CA, or any other derog info necessarily HAD to be reported at all.  Most do, though, because it gives them leverage.  I've had quite a few CAs never report, even though some went unpaid.

Just because you receive a letter from a CA does NOT mean that it will appear on you CR!!
 
I get them off and on & pitch them...BUT  I know that I do not owe any past debt or if I do that they are past CRTP and SOL.
 
The letter that you receive should tell you who they are trying to collect for. You might know if & when that bill is from.
 
IF you are positive that it is not your's or it is past SOL.....send them a simple letter telling them NO phone calls   CMRRR     do not send this unless you are positive!
 
Medical bills are handled different from other debt!!!!!!!
 
To protect your rights under HIPAA, you should not write or correspond with a Collection Agency regarding a medical collection account within SOL.
This process is not applicable if the account is valid and you are unable to pay.  The medical claim must either be paid, inaccurate, or you are prepared to remit the valid correct amount due with the HIPAA letter.
The Pre-HIPAA letter is sent to the CRA to dispute medical collection accounts on your CR that are within SOL and are:  paid, valid but unpaid, "not mine" or inaccurate.
  1. Dispute a paid medical collection directly with the CRA and they should delete.  If not deleted, but verified, send HIPAA letter (Whychat's process - insert b). 
  2. Dispute valid but unpaid medical collections because you need the CRA to verify the balance.  There may be no valid balance due and the CRA will delete.  Only after the CRA has verified and you agree that the amount is correct is the HIPAA letter sent with payment (Whychat's process - insert a).  The payment amount should be the same amount as was verified by the CRA and on your CR.
  3. If the medical collection account is "not mine" or inaccurate, you need to have disputed the medical collection listing with the CRA.  Only after the CRA verifies and does not delete an invalid or inaccurate medical collection do you send the HIPAA letter (Whychat's process - insert a or b).

Re: MED BILLS FROM CA NOT ON FICO REPORT???

Thank you Happy,
but i'm still confused about this HIPPA law. It's not making any sense to me or how I would use it in my situation. I have 6 accounts with CA that are medical. 4 of them, their first date of deliq was in 2001, 2002, 2003. Should I send any letters to the CRA or the CA in regards to these, since they will fall off my report soon? How can I sent a HIPPA letter to the OC when they have nothing to do with this account any longer...or am I being mistaken? I have made contact with the CA in regards to all 6 accounts...what should I do? Can I still contact the OC, because all 6 have to do with one hospital. Or do i just let them fall my report. I can't afford to pay all of them. I do have a judgement against me ( a medical bill for $240) how would I go about getting this taken off...a GW letter? Or do i need to wait?
 
These accounts in collections are killing me..i need to be led down the right path to get these off my report..and I just don't know how to go about all this.

I just saw a med bill from 2008 was reported by avante usa. I have has full coverage medcal since 1999. Avante said they could not get ahold of me.  I knew of this bill in 2008 I talked to the hospital and told them there was a mistake and gave them my info have not heard anything till now it shows up on my credt report. What can I do about this? I called the hospital they said they have no record of me contacting them BS!
