Medicredit

Who is Medicredit?

Medicredit, Inc. or Medicredit Corp is a third-party debt collection agency that specializes in recovering unpaid healthcare bills. Based in Earth City, Missouri, the company has been operating for several decades.

If you see Medicredit Corp listed on your credit report, it usually means that you have an outstanding medical bill. This could be a bill that you’ve forgotten to pay or a bill that was not fully covered by your insurance provider.

Who does Medicredit collect for?

Medicredit operates primarily within the healthcare industry. The company collects debts for a wide range of healthcare providers, including doctors’ offices, hospitals, and other healthcare providers. They purchase past-due medical debt for a fraction of the original amount owed with the hope of collecting on these debts and making a profit.

Is Medicredit legit or a scam?

Medicredit is a legitimate debt collection agency. They operate within the legal frameworks governing debt collection and are authorized to collect on behalf of their clients. However, it’s essential to verify any debts Medicredit claims they owe before making any payments.

How can I remove Medicredit from my credit report?

Medicredit collections can hurt your credit score and remain on your credit report for up to seven years regardless of whether you pay it or not. Unfortunately, paying the collection could even lower your credit score.

However, it is possible to remove a collections account from your credit report before seven years.

(While debt collectors may not want this information to be widely known, it’s your right to be informed.)

Professional credit repair services work with people who want to get their credit back on track.

In addition to collections, credit repair companies can help you challenge (and possibly remove) other inaccurate information from your credit report. These items include inquiries, late payments, charge-offs, foreclosures, repossessions, bankruptcies, and more.

Should I contact or pay Medicredit Corp?

Before contacting a debt collector, verify that the debt is legitimate and accurately reported. Sometimes, credit reports contain errors or list debts that are no longer valid. Also, be aware that making payments on a debt can reset the clock. As a result, it could harm your credit rather than improve it. Of course, there are times when it’s best to just pay the Medicredit collection account, especially if it’s new and you’re sure that it’s legit.

The most effective way to deal with Medicredit is to work with a credit repair professional. They help remove millions of negative items every year from companies like Medicredit on behalf of their clients.

Will Medicredit sue me or garnish my wages?

While it is technically possible for Medicredit to sue you for an unpaid debt, it’s generally considered a last resort. If Medicredit were to sue you and win the case, they could receive a judgment against you that could allow them to garnish your wages or bank accounts, depending on the laws in your specific state. However, this is typically an expensive and lengthy process, and most debt collection agencies prefer to avoid it if possible.

Medicredit, Inc. Complaints

Most collection agencies have numerous complaints filed against them with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Most consumer complaints are about inaccurate reporting, harassment, or failure to verify a debt. If a debt collector is harassing you, you may want to consider filing a complaint.

You have many consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). These rights include the ability to dispute credit reporting errors and to be treated fairly and respectfully by debt collectors.
