Hospital Bill Errors on Credit Report: What to Do

No, a collection agency for a hospital cannot list one inpatient bill three different amounts on your credit report.

When a collection agency reports debt to the credit bureaus, they are required to provide accurate information. This means that they can only list the debt one time, and they must report the correct amount.

If a collection agency lists the same debt three times with different amounts, this is considered to be an error, and you can dispute it with the credit bureaus.
