The hospital gave several of its contractors bad address information for me, so I never received a number of bills before the collectors came calling. I paid it all promptly, but it sucked. And of course, it sucked even more that I had insurance that didn’t cover a dime of the surgery because it was for a pre-existing condition. Crooks.

You can contest it and get it removed. I had a similar billing confusion, and my credit score jumped quite a bit when I had them correct the collection confusion.
