Does an unpaid medical bill look bad on your credit report Since it was an emergency?
Yes ... the credit bureau only "sees" unpaid debt ... it does not determine who is owed or how the unpaid debt was incurred. You should be writing to the credit bureau's and explain the situation - they may drop the reported unpaid bill, but will not forgive the debt still owed ... that still needs to be paid back to the medical institution as soon as possible, as they are a business and rely upon money (income) to pay their bills and staff.

Absoutely!
