If you have a copy of your credit report the creditor's last known phone number and/or address should be listed. If it is not you can contact the credit bureau that it is reported with and they can try to get you that info. Otherwise, dispute it with the credit bureau. If they can't verify the information they will delete it. Good luck.

How can you repair credit card debt?

While there are many companies that will make claims to "repair" your credit, all they really do is take your money and ask your creditors to "write off" portions of the debt, when they do that, it's reported to the credit bureau, and although the debt is technically paid, you still have a footnote that the creditor wrote off some of the debt. The best way to repair your debt is to just pay your bills. Your credit will "heal" over time as people see that you are now acting responsibly.


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.
