    I wasn’t able to afford medical insurance at the time and fell behind on arranged payments on 2 ER (emergency room) visits. In America medical debt effects your credit score negatively.

    Sounds like you’re condescending asshole that doesn’t know what they are talking about

      I live in America, have medical debt that I generally have ignored, and it never shows up on my credit score, I wonder if making the payment arrangement is what made it show up on the report, because currently I have a 800 credit score.

        There’s something they aren’t telling us here. It sounds like they likely put the arranged payments on their credit card.

      You don’t understand! I put myself in situation where I can’t afford my house, and now I can’t I afford my house. It’s not MY fault.

          Maybe I don’t understand, I’ve always had insurance. I thought Americans were required to have insurance.

          But also, they said they didn’t have insurance because they couldn’t afford it. So I think I’ll let my claim that they can’t actually afford their house stand.
