      However, of you apply for a loan and they look at your credit report, they will see outstanding medical debt which very well could affect whether you get the loan.

    Oh… Is this why my credit is garbage? I assumed it was the bank accounts I lit on fire when I was a teenager.

      Well, that as well.

      Having medical debt removed from your credit report may not impact your score a lot but it does help when applying for any loans where they do actually look at your report.

    Better late than never. Kudos to him.

    The credit system is a scam, and shouldn’t exist.
