And this works for paid collection items?
So I should just send that letter certified, to all three CRA's? Can I list all three accounts on the same letter or put them each in a separate page?
Thanks for your help.
Donks,
Medical is different than all other collections. CRA must verify directly with the OC, not the CA. If verified as paid, the CRA should remove, if not, there are additional steps you can take to have it removed.
It is my understanding you write a separate letter for each account to each CRA, but you can put the letters to each CRA in the same envelope. i.e. if three account are shown on EQ write a separate letter for each account, but you can put all three letters in the same envelope, to EQ. Same procedure for each CRA. Be sure to send CMRRR so you will have documention of what you have done, in the event you have to take additional steps or the collections reappear on your CR at a later date.
The letter cited above should take care of paid collection items, if they are not removed make a post letting us know and someone will tell you the next step in the process.
Be sure to send the letter exactly as it is shown to keep your HIPPA rights in tact.
All medical bills should be verifed with CRAs using PreHippa letter to verify the correct amount and DOFD (date of services), whether paid or unpaid.
If this is not the correct procedure I am sure someone here will let us know.
Good luck!
