Trump restoring medical debt to credit reporting could "wreck credit for millions"

[Miles Archer]

I say this almost daily...if this move could "wreck credit for millions," it would make Trump smile, because he's NOT just going after Comey and his high-profile "enemies."

He wants to "punish" as many Americans as possible for electing Biden in 2020.

‘Trying to actively harm you’: Attorney warns Trump move could wreck credit for millions

An attorney specializing in consumer protection is sounding the alarm as the Trump administration prepares to enact a new policy that could tank credit ratings for millions of Americans.

A total of 15 states currently have laws that limit medical debt from impacting individuals' credit scores, laws that were enacted under the Biden administration, which in early 2025 issued a new rule that would have removed all medical debt from credit reports, eliminating an estimated $49 billion in unpaid medical bills from credit reports.

However, the Trump administration is set to issue guidance Tuesday that would roll back the Biden administration’s efforts by prohibiting states from withholding individuals’ medical debt from credit reporting, The Lever reported Monday, a move that could “harm” millions of Americans, according to Chi Chi Wu, an attorney with the National Consumer Law Center.

“[The Trump administration’s new guidance is] trying to invalidate [state] protections that don’t cost anything to anyone,” Wu said, speaking with The Lever. “It’s not just taking a hands-off approach and saying, ‘we won’t protect consumers,’ it’s saying, ‘we are going to actively harm you.’”
