Shownotes Transcript

Learn how removing medical debt from credit reports will protect consumers. Plus: rising interest rates and falling stock prices.

Before discussing news from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) that could reshape the way medical debt impacts your credit score, hosts Sean Pyles and Anna Helhoski discuss the latest news around student loan forgiveness, rising auto and mortgage rates, and recent losses in the stock market. They then turn their attention to the benefits of omitting medical debts and collection information from credit reports.

In their conversation, the Nerds discuss: medical debt, credit reports, consumer protection, Medicaid disenrollment, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), healthcare costs, collection agencies, mortgage interest rates, stock prices, student loans, debt forgiveness, loan relief, income-driven repayment (IDR), car payments, 401k balances, Dow Jones Industrials, S&P 500, credit reporting agencies, and Medicaid coverage.
