The CFPB wanted medical debt to be left off credit reports. That's changed under Trump

A U.S. District Court judge in the Eastern District of Texas has twice ordered a stay of the medical debt rule, which was supposed to take effect on March 15. It is now delayed to start on July 28.

Under the Biden administration, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau finalized a rule barring medical debt from appearing on credit reports. Now, the agency is siding with the credit industry groups suing to have the rule vacated.
