     &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Medical Debt Relief Act of 2021 &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill modifies requirements related to the reporting of medical debt. Specifically, a consumer reporting agency is prohibited from adding medical debt information to a consumer credit report if the debt &lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;was fully paid or settled, or &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;is less than a year old. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Additionally, a debt collector must notify the consumer prior to reporting medical debt to a consumer reporting agency. &lt;/p&gt;
