With the high cost of medical insurance and medical care, it’s easy to quickly amass considerable medical debt. Fortunately, chapter 7 bankruptcy can eliminate unpaid hospital bills quickly and for very little cost. However, not everyone qualifies for chapter 7 bankruptcy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Medical bills are dischargeable in bankruptcy<\/a> as unsecured debt. Just like credit cards, medical debt is general unsecured debt that falls within the scope of a chapter 7 bankruptcy discharge order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Part of filing chapter 7 bankruptcy is listing creditors and their addresses. When it comes to old medical debt<\/a>, figuring out who currently owns the collection account can be challenging. Simply put, your old medical bills may list the original creditor or collection agency, but that account could have been sold in the interim. In addition, credit reports frequently list credit card accounts, but for some reason, old medical debt rarely appears. If you think that medical bills are missing from your credit report, even listing a last known creditor is better than not reporting the account.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho Owns The Medical Debt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
