Health Related Credit Scores
This comes from the Chicago Tribune…. Are health related credit scores next? The Tribune discusses the creation of a credit scoring scheme that scores how well you have paid your medical bills. As noted by the Tribune, the development has “tremendous implications for virtually every patient in America. It is the marriage of credit and medical histories, an inevitable partnership being consummated by at least one company already collecting information about how reliably patients pay their medical bills. Other companies are sure to follow what is essentially a means of creating a credit score related to a patient’s health status with the clear goal of predicting his or her future ability to pay.”
We think it’s another reason why American consumers need to keep close tabs on the information that is in their credit histories. More information = more chances for errors.

“I had a very low credit score making it nearly impossible to get credit let alone any financial help. I signed up with Credit X-Pert's [a preferred partner of CreditScoreAide] hoping that they would be able to assist me. I had an identity theft on my report and from the very beginning Credit X-Pert's was very involved in helping me resolve that situation. They even went as far as contacting our local police force to urge them start legal actions. I am currently still enrolled with Credit X-Pert's and they are continuing on repairing my credit. The support they have given me has been unmatched and I would definately recommend their company to anyone with any type of credit problems.”Read More
