Do unpaid medical bills sent to collections ever go away without payment?
No.
Unpaid medical bills sent to collections remain unresolved until paid, settled for a reduced amount, discharged/forgiven by the creditor, or written off as bad debt. Although negative reports may eventually no longer be reflected on your credit after 7-10 years, the debt itself never disappears.
