Charity care write off and still reported !!!

[gassio]

My question is about written off medical debt for charity care. I guess Whychat wrote something about it in some post but I cant find it now….

 

I have a collection on EQ which shows:

 

amount owed: 0 (zero)

Yet the status is:

D – unpaid.

 

I contacted OC right after I was approved for charity care. OC told me that they write off the debt and I advised me to contact CA about that (it already went to CA before I was approved for charity care). I informed CA that debt was written off but apparently CA disregarded it and sent my account to EQ.

 

What should I do to remove it. Should I contact CA or OC? I suppose CA had no rights to place it on my report as I read somewhere on CB that debt written off because of charity care should not be pursued?

 

The account is from 2003 and was reported in 2004 if it matters.
