Judge Scraps Rule Eliminating Medical Debt on Credit Reports

The Trump administration joined with trade groups to ask a court to overturn a Biden-era rule that aimed to limit the impact of unpaid medical bills on consumers’ credit history

Consumer advocates said the ruling would add to the burdens confronting people facing health challenges. In drafting the rule, the consumer bureau drew on its own research and other studies showing that unlike most other consumer debt, medical bills have little value in predicting a consumer’s likelihood to repay loans.

In a macabre nod to how deeply debt enforcement efforts can cut, the bureau said when it issued the rule that it would have prevented creditors from using information about medical devices — like wheelchairs or prosthetic limbs — to demand that the devices “serve as collateral for a loan for the purposes of repossession.”
