topic Medical Collection in Rebuilding Your Credit https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/Medical-Collection/m-p/1603420#M208962 <P>I paid off a medical collection bill in 2011. It was in collections maybe two months. The CA put it on my credit report just a month ago as paid collections. Can they post it to my report after I've paid it off? Any recommendations on how to get it removed? Thanks for any advice.</P> Sat, 22 Sep 2012 14:00:05 GMT Anonymous 2012-09-22T14:00:05Z Medical Collection https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/Medical-Collection/m-p/1603420#M208962 <P>I paid off a medical collection bill in 2011.

Why do they have to be right? lol. My mistake though for not paying it sooner or working out a payment plan. Thanks for your advice. I'll write the GW letter right away and hopefully that'll help. Have a great weekend.</P> Sat, 22 Sep 2012 14:45:33 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/Medical-Collection/m-p/1603458#M208964 Anonymous 2012-09-22T14:45:33Z Re: Medical Collection https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/Medical-Collection/m-p/1604076#M209014 <P>Get those GW going! &nbsp; And bet of luck to you!</P> Sun, 23 Sep 2012 00:54:26 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/Medical-Collection/m-p/1604076#M209014 Shogun 2012-09-23T00:54:26Z
