CFPB Bulletin on unlawful medical debt collection and reporting

Yesterday, the CFPB announced it has issued Bulletin 2022-01, "Medical Debt Collection and Consumer Reporting Requirements in Connection with the No Surprises Act," to remind debt collectors and credit bureaus of their legal obligations in light of the No Surprises Act, which protects consumers from certain unexpected medical bills.

Companies that try to collect on medical bills that are prohibited by the No Surprises Act, or who furnish information to credit bureaus about such invalid debts, may face significant legal liability under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The bulletin advises credit bureaus that the accuracy and dispute obligations imposed by the FCRA apply with respect to debts stemming from charges that exceed the amount permitted by the No Surprises Act.
