I have some medical bills on my credit report, about $1500 total. Not so bad. Now, the one bill for $400 I do not believe is my debt. I wish I had found this website earlier, but unfortunatly, I disputed it incorrectly as "already paid". I got a letter from the company to pay the debt, but I wrote a letter back and explained that it was not my debt. I don't know exactly how to procede with getting this removed from my credit report now... I pulled all 3 credit reports a couple of weeks ago & this one only appears on 2 of them (equifax & experian). This is a CA btw.
My second question is regarding the other open medical bills I have. They are with a CA, they're all the same CA & they're all from the same trip to the hospital. (You know how hospitals bill...). I want to get these all paid off, but I don't have the money to pay $1100 at the moment. So, I was planning on paying them off as I had extra money, starting iwth the smaller accounts first. 4/6 of them are for 100-150 a piece, other two are for larger amounts. Should I send a letter to the company getting them to agree to remove the items as I pay them off before sending any money?
Thanks for your help.
