Contact the credit reporting agency that issued the report and challenge the entry. Tell them you have no idea what it represents or who it is from. They will research the item. Many credit reports have incorrect information on them. It pays to check them frequently. Good Luck.

You can contact any of the 3 major credit bureaus to find out more information on the medical payment that was late.
What happens when a medical bill goes to collections?
At its discretion, the medical biller will report to one or more credit reporting agencies that the debt has gone to collections. The collections agency will report it, as well - also at their discretion. You can negotiate for payment with the collections agency.
What if a medical provider accepted payment for a service that was less than it billed but did not bill you for the existing balance just sent you to collections without notifying you?
The medical provider can legally take such action. They are not required to notify the debtor that they are sending the outstanding debt to collections.
What can you do if a bill from your deceased husband has been sent to collections with your name on it and there is no estate?
Unless you are on the bill the company is not entitled to payment from you. The estate of your husband should handle this. If there are no monies in the estate you dont pay them for something you didnt take on.
Can you be sent to collections if you make a payment every month?
You should not be sent to collections if you are making monthly payments. Some companies have their own "polocies" on how much your payment needs to be in order to keep from collections but the law says that you can pay what ever you want as long as you don't sign a payment contract.
What should you do when a medical bill is sent to collection even though the payment was being sent in?
AnswerIf the question relates to a payment not being credited to the person's account then documentation, such as cancelled checks, money order, etc. should be rendered to the provider as proof. If the question relates to a medical provider sending an account to collections even though payment was being made, it is within the legal right of the provider to do so.
What is the statute on medical debt collections in Florida?
In Florida that would be a fairly long 5 years. Medical debts are normally documented in writing. That gives them a fairly long period of time in which to collect. And it will be measured from the last acknowledgment of the debt, payment or letter from the person who owes.
Can an account be sent to collections of dental work not completed?
I have worked in collections in the past and if they have performed work on you and you do have a balance with the dentist and its in non payment status, then YES they can send you to collections. I recommend getting onto a payment plan with the dentist. They usually are pretty flexible with the patient because if they send you to collections then they have to pay a fee to the outside collection agency and normally they try to avoid that. Hope this helps
I tried to make a payment to a bill collector they refused to take the payment. I went to the company that turned me in to collection they accepted the payment. what are my rights?
If the collection agency did not accept your payment, the debt should be discharged from their control. You might need to contact an attorney to make sure these debts are removed from your credit report. If you are making payments to the company that sent you to collections, they will need to remove you from the collections agency.
Can an account be sent to collections if you are making monthly payments?
If the payments are not suitable in size to the creditor, then yes. This commonly happens with medical bills. Hospitals and clinics are not required to extend the courtesy of credit to anyone. Payment in full tends to be the policy. If you owe thousands and are only paying a small amount (like 50 every month) they will send it to collections.
You are on SSDI. can they come after you for charged off or medical debts?
Yes, your income, disability or retirement status is not a shield for not owing people money. However, it would be best for the collections agency to work with you on a low monthly payment plan, since if they sued you in court, and if you defended the sue, they would be forced into a low payment plan anyway.
What do you do when husband and wife are divorcing wife owns a car husband will be driving during the separation but refuses to make the car payment as promised?
If the wife refuses to make the car payment, then it should be up to the husband to pay for it. After all, he is the one driving it. If the husband won't make the payment, the wife should take the car back. That's only reasonable. The husband shouldn't expect the wife to pay for him.. He's a grown man.
