Hi everyone
I used to live in the US on F1 and I have a question. When I was there, I had an unpaid medical bill. I thought my insurance had covered it but apparently they didn't because months after my doctor's appointment, I got calls from collection agencies. I left the country without paying it, mostly because I was angry at the insurance (after all I paid my premiums on time, so I thought they'd cover care!). My question is, will the background check pull up this information? I have a SSN and the hospital had it so I'm assuming it's now on my credit report. So do they check credit reports (in the event it showed up on it).
Many thanks
