if you dispute what a company says it will reflect on your credit report the word %26quot;disputed%26quot;. And when it%26#039;s solved if that word still remains on your credit report you can send the credit reporting agencies a copy of how that matter was settled. Sometimes you can make payments, sometimes you can take the collection agency to court and with your proof you may win, and if you win then they will pay the fees for your opening the case if the judge deems them in the wrong. You will need %26quot;proof%26quot; though.

It probably already has. Normally when a company turns an item over to a collection agency they have already reported you to the credit bureaus. The damage is done and whether you pay the bill or not the item will be on your credit report.

Unfortunately, if your debt is in the hands of a collection company, it has already affected your credit rating.

your credit report should specifically state that it is MEDICAL. usually that is a gray area when a credit report is being reviewed and taken into consideration.
