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.

THX Whychat, I thought I read somwhere on CB that Medical Dispute Letter weeds out CA that pusue debt written off for charity care but couldn't find the post later to make sure.
