Here's my scenario:
Medical bill from 7/2004. CA reporting on EX/EQ. Paid OC by credit card over the phone on 10/2/09.
I have already opted out/deleted old addresses. I also disputed this as "do not recognize" earlier in the year and DV'd the CA before finding the HIPAA process.
Since that time, I have sent the HIPAA letters (including follow-up) to the OC and now to the CRA's.
The bill is still showing unpaid on EQ.
If I receive the responses from the CRA's with no deletion, do I move on to the complaint process with the FTC/BBB/AG?
One final thought/question: This bill is for medical care my wife received, not me. It's possible I signed the paperwork, because she probably wasn't able. She has since passed away. Can they report this on my credit reports?
Thanks for all your help!
