Medical debt protections for Delaware consumers
Delaware law bans anyone from sending medical debt information to consumer reporting agencies. This covers information about any debt owed for health care services. Agencies cannot make reports they know, or should know, contain medical debt information. People using these reports cannot count listed medical debt against you in credit, job, or housing decisions.
