Medical Collections Notice while in the Homebuying process

[niquieg]

Good Morning, I am seeking guidance and advice on how to proceed with a collection notice I received.

I am in the process of purchasing a home through the Rural Development 502 Direct Loam program, I have received my eligibility notice and have all requested information excluding 1 contractors estimate.

I got the collections letter over the weekend from my parent's house, it was for service rendered earlier this year at an out of state facility, a few days prior to receiving the notice I mailed a check to the facility which as of this morning hasn't been cashed. How exactly do I proceed; this collections item has not hit my credit report as of this morning, and I would like for it stay clear of my reports while i'm in the middle of this process

Give it a few more days....then call them up. If you decide to resend another check send it certified return delivery.and.....do a stop payment on the one that hadn't arrived....
