  • Wall Street Journal reported that VantageScore Solutions LLC would stop factoring all medical debt in collections into the latest versions of its scores starting October.
  • The credit-score provider was founded by Experian Plc (OTC: EXPGY), Equifax Inc (NYSE: EFX), and TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) in 2006.
  • VantageScore decided to remove all medical collections after finding that they aren’t good at predicting a person’s likelihood of repaying other debts, especially compared with other accounts in collections, said Silvio Tavares, the company’s CEO.

  • Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion have delayed adding new unpaid medical debts to credit reports for an entire year after being sent to collections, up from a six-month waiting period. 
  • Unpaid medical debts of less than $500 will be removed from credit reports starting in 2023, though it is possible that the dollar amount could rise, according to people familiar with the matter.
