The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) just made a game-changing decision: removing an estimated $49 billion in medical debt from credit reports. This affects 15 million Americans by banning lenders from using medical debt in credit decisions.
Why? The CFPB says medical bills often don’t predict someone’s ability to repay loans and are frequently riddled with errors or insurance mishaps. While this move could help more people access credit, it raises concerns. If we lower standards and inflate credit scores, are we truly creating responsible borrowers—or repeating the subprime lending mistakes of the past?
The bottom line: the CFPB aims to protect consumers, but the long-term impact on lending and credit reliability remains uncertain.
