Trump administration moves to overrule state laws protecting credit reports from medical debt

The Trump administration is moving to overrule state laws that protect consumers’ credit reports from medical debt. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has drafted an interpretative rule related to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. This rule suggests that the FCRA should preempt state laws on debt reporting to credit bureaus like Experian, Equifax, and Trans Union. This repeals Biden-era regulations allowing states to implement their own credit reporting bans. More than a dozen states, including New York and Delaware, prohibit reporting medical debt on credit reports. The Kaiser Family Foundation estimates Americans owe roughly $220 billion in medical debt.
