I have two medical collections on my credit report--
my tri-merge report lists two separate collections
for the same ER visit that occurred in August 1998.
The first tradeline lists the CA- but also lists the name of
the hospital as the OC grantor. Is this a violation of
FCRA § 605(a)(6)? Should I dispute the entry with the CRAs?
The second entry lists a different CA, but does not list the
collection as a medical collection and instead classifies the
account as an installment account.
I have been instructed to pay off these accounts before we close on
our new home. I don't mind paying, but I do not want to make my score
go down.
TIA
