I have a few medical bills in collections and a few people have told me that when you try to get a loan or credit card or something of that effect then they dont really look badly at medical bills. I was just wondering if this was true? This is like the major bad things on my credit right now! Please help!

i heard that medical bills could not be included and doesnt affect your credit rating. Is that true???? I pay my credit cards, mortgage and car on time every month, but I have alot of medical bills and I pay a little each month on all the medical bil. they still send it to collections because I dont pay the full amounts and I owe alot. Is that going to mess up credit rating? Is there anythign that I can do to fix this ??? Please help.

I need healthcare and I have insurance but I’m a college kid and I don’t have any money whatsoever even to pay the 25% or whatever for my medical bills after insurance. I’ve been getting medical bills and some are about to go to collections. Don’t tell me to pay them ’cause I can’t.

What can I do to not mess up my credit score? Will the hospitals be willing to extend deadlines if I ask to pay them a month or something? Any other suggestions?
