Go to where the medical service was provided. They will be able to give you papers that show the bills have been paid. Bring those papers into the local credit agency to have them remove them. You can even request the medical providor call in and have them 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?
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.
Can I get a medical collection removed from my credit report if I never got a bill because they did not put my apartment number on my bill and the bill has been paid after being sent to collection?
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.
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.
Do medical bills count as bad credit if in collection?
Yes, they do. i recently checked my credit report and there was a fee i had disputed that my insurance was supposed to cover. even though it was paid, it was still a ding on my credit. i was able to contest the entry and get it removed. Also, once you contest an entry on your credit report, the company who reported you has 30 days to respond. If they dont respond within the 30 days the entry will and must be removed.

No the collection will not be removed from the credit report. They will show it paid in full.
Can you have a debt removed from a collection company if it is due to an error on the original creditor's part such as not updating your address correctly you never received a bill?
I am in the middle of a dispute at this time over the same question. I did not know that our insurance company had not paid a service provider 100% of the charge. Two years later I receive a notice from a collection agency. The collection agency stated the company mailed 11 statements and after the last statement was returned and another 7 months they turned it over to a collection agency. All they had to do was call the insurance company they had received payment from to verify our address or the referring physician. Now because of their handling, the appeal period for the insurance claim has passed and my credit is being adversely effected. If a bureau is supposed to be an accurate presentation of a consumer's payment history, this should not be included..not to mention the rudeness of the collection agency in their communication. I have contacted the Attorney General's office of our state...they keep referring me to a private attorney. My next step is a formal complaint to the FTC.
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.
If there are some medical bills on your credit report that should have been paid by your insurance company how can you have these removed?
You can attempt to have any item removed from your credit report by the same method; writing a letter of dispute to the bureaus. "...should have been paid by your insurance company..." is not a valid reason for dispute. If you were to write with this reason, (most likely) the accounts will be verified and they will remain on your credit for 7 years from the date they were defaulted.
