I am looking to buy a house in about six months through a VA loan. I have an unpaid medical bill in the amount of $688. It was sold about two months ago, not it appears as a new collection. I want it deleted from my report, but I am unable to PIF all at once. I spoke to the CA and they said I could make payments and they would delete it. I also spoke to a lender, and they said that it could be overlooked since it is a medical debt. Should I go ahead and pay it?
