Medical Disclosure verification of debt Not disclosed as an attempt to collect New York

Under a recent direct of all - credit reporting agencies, on behalf of a collective effort of the Federal Trade Commission and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, all medical collections can not be posted on a consumer 's credit report until the following criteria is established : The consumer must be given an updated invoice by the service provider, stating that he/she has 30 days to rectify the balance personally or through insurance coverage. The service provider must state that the invoice will not go into a collection status until the 30-day timeline has been completed, and a specified date must be given to the consumer. A service provider can not submit a medical invoice to a licensed debt collector until after the 30-day timeline has been completed, without exception. If the 30-day time has passed, the service provider can at that time turn over the invoice to a licensed debt collector in the consumer 's residency state. The debt collector must submit a written notice of collection, stating that the consumer has 180 days to either rectify the debt personally, settle the debt amicably, or to expedite that an insurance carrier will pay the medical claim. The debt can not be posted on a credit bureau for collection until the 180-day timeline has passed, also without exception. I hereby state that the attached medical collection is now illegal, and that the new collection guidelines for medical debts are applied to existing collections. The old collections and their processes were not grandfathered in by the change in policy by - - and - - respectively. That means all medical debts come off my report and that I must be given a fair chance to rectify the debt through the previously mentioned criteria.
