You paid the original creditor and your credit report needs to reflect this. After they do what they need to do to get the account back; you then dispute the entries with all three credit bureaus.

How do you dispute a chargeoff account that the creditor refused to validate?

Technically this should be very easy. Write a letter to the (3) credit reporting agencies stateing that this information is/may not be accurate. They will then request that the creditor verify the information. If the creditor does not respond in 30 days then the entry should be removed. That's the way the law is written, though some credit agencies will give more time to the creditors before removing.


If you made late payments due to medical reasons can that be removed from your credit score?

Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that the creditor report your payment status accurately. That means that if you agreed to pay a certain amount on a certain day, then your account is "paid as agreed". If you miss a payment for any reason other than bank error, the account has not been paid as agreed no matter what the reason for the late payment. If you have medical issues that prevent timely payment, the best arrangement would be to make arrangements with the creditor prior to the conditions of the agreement not being met.
