Congress would reject a decision by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to withdraw guidance it had issued about how debt collectors and credit reporting companies must handle medical bills under federal surprise billing protections. The rejection would force the agency to keep the original guidance in place, preventing debt collectors from using certain aggressive collection tactics on medical debts and requiring fairer treatment of patients on credit reports. This affects patients with medical debt, debt collection companies, and credit reporting agencies.
