Yes you can have it removed from your credit report. I had a similar issue with a medical bill. It was never delivered to me by the hospital or collection agency. I called the agency and explained this. They said I could pay it off and they would have it deleted from my record. They also said they will contact the credit bureaus to clear it off their records too. This happened earlier this month. I went to Equifax and disputed the collection on there end afterwards to make sure it gets taken care of. I'm just waiting to get confirmation now.

Can a paid medical collection account be removed from your credit report?
It stays 7 years from the date of the late payment that caused it to be reported to the collection agency, even if you pay it off. In accordance with HIPAA, your medical information may be reported for purposes of collecting on an UNPAID medical bill. Once the medical bill is paid, there is no longer a permissible purpose for divulging your medical information. Therefore, a paid medical bill should automatically be removed form your credit file in accordance with HIPAA.

If a debt has been paid to the original creditor and they recall it from their collection agency will a dispute succeed in having it removed from the credit report?
Hard to say. Disputing the collection after you pay off the creditor could still come back as 'verified' from the credit bureaus simply because the collection did happen. If the collection agency does not respond to the credit bureau's query, then the entry will be removed.

What is the statute of limitations for medical bills in Ohio I have been called on a bill from 1999 am I legally responsible for it. It has gone to a collection group.?
What is the statute of limitations for medical bills in Ohio?" I had a $242 medical bill removed from my credit years ago with the explanation of benefits from the medical insurance. The debit is over 8 years old now and I am no longer with that medical insurance. They state they are not able to pull up the EOB now due to the age. I didn't save the one I had because it was removed from my credit. A new collection agency is now calling and trying to collect on the debit telling me they have 15 years to collect. I looked up Ohio statue of limitations, which are mostly 6 years but there is one section that says 15 years with a signed contract. Are medical bills considered a signed contract?

If your original creditor was removed from your credit report can you dispute the collection agencies still showing the debt and have them removed also?
No, the original crditor was removed because the account was sold to a third party collector. The entry will remain on the report for the required 7 years from the DLA. You can dispute the collection agency entries as well. Often times if you have paid the debt, the collection agency will no longer keep records, thus be unable to prove the debt when you dispute it. They more than likely won't even respond, as they got their money and don't care anymore.

How do I remove a collection item on my credit report that was disputed but not removed?
Only the collection agency or the credit bureaus can remove a collection off a credit report. You can negotiate the removal of the collection off the credit report upon final payment of the debt owed. Some collection agencies have policies against this, some don't. You can also redispute it to the credit bureaus as many times as they will let you. It has a higher chance of being removed if it is paid off and an older account.

It can, but the person would have to have regular medical checks. The spleen usually is removed because it has ruptured, and it is a life saving procedure. If the spleen is removed due to the above its functions can be taken over by the liver and the red bone marrow so blood can still be stored and filtered.
