This will be great for me. I have 2 paid medical collections that the collection agency refuse to delete.

Has anyone tried to remove a paid medical collection from their reports through an early exclusion?

Yes I have. I did it online, and only Experian deleted one paid medical debt. It was the lowest one for 275.00. They left the 1900.00 paid medical debt on my credit report. Both debts are with same collection agency.

Medical Collections to be removed from credit reports July 2022

I searched and didn't find this topic here (perhaps I missed it) but for those of us with medical collections on our reports, this looks like great news! https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/medical-debt-to-be-removed-from-credit-reports-this-summer-wha...

 

If this info has already been posted, I will be happy to delete this topic.
