I was involved in an accident in XX/XX/XXXX where I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle. The driver was at fault as they t-boned me while they were turning onto a side road and I was traveling in the bike lane. This debt is regarding a bill from the XXXX Fire Department which provided me with an ambulance ride to the hospital. 

I had attorney representation immediately following the accident which informed me to provide them with any bills I received. I did so, and the bills from XXXX was part of that stack of medical bills I provided. XXXX was paid by my attorney 's office once the lawsuit was settled out of court. While this collection shows that it was paid in full, this should not be on my credit report. None of the other healthcare providers ( which also had to await payment ) placed anything on my credit reports. 

At no time was this an attempt not to pay, nor does it accurately portray my credit worthiness. 

I attempted to contact XXXX XXXX and XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. The person who answered the phone stated that there was no one available to take my call. I asked that someone call me back and she took my information. She stated she would pass it along, however, they were not obligated to remove this from my credit report as it was a valid debt and it did n't matter that it was paid. All they had to do was mark as paid and they had done so. 

I never received a contact back from their offices. I just want this removed from my credit. It is not a fair reporting of my credit worthiness and is unfairly inhibiting me from gaining the credit required to move forward with reasonable home and auto loans. 

Please help. 

Thank you for your consideration of this situation.
