I have had a lot of experience with collection agencies for medical collection. One agency told me if I was to pay with credit card they would deleat it(which turned out to be true).

On another note, I still have a medical account from when I first turned 18 in 2004 for 1300. Its only reporting from experian though. The hospital where I got the bill has been closed down for 5+ yrs. Should I try to pay this or get it deleated?

well, of course, the honorable thing to do is to pay it. you'll get different views with each post on here, i suspect. many feel you should, and i think more will suggest that you don't.

truly, it's obviously up to you.

I would not make payment unless they have agreed to give you a letter that basically states: Please be advised that the above refernced acount has been satisfied in full. Please delete (Creditor's name) on the referenced account.

I would not pay on that account unless, they agree to provide you with a faith of goodwill letter.
