Call the providers… demand they provide information to the credit
reporting agencies that the billing is in ERROR… in most states
it is illegal to bill an IW for treatment to a industrial injury.
You should not be billed in the first place, however, with computer
generated billing, and inadequacy in the Dr’s offices…it happens.
Your atty won’t be able to do anything about the credit
agencies..you have to do that. And this is not likely to be taken
care of any time soon. YOu can write the 3 majors/credit agencies,
dispute the report contents, and they should not be providing that
info until the disputes are resolved. A letter from your atty to
the lenders you are trying to get a mortgage from may or may not
help at this point.

Is the workers’ comp insurance paying the medical providers directly or is that included in your settlement check?

If the medical bills are included in the check coming to you, negotiate a pay for delete — you pay the bill and the item gets deleted from your credit file.

However, if the funds are going to be paid directly to the medical providers, you will have to convince them to get the collection agencies to remove the derogatory items. You might want to check with your attorney for assistance in this.

Apparently you were in a WC dispute case for quite some time? The health care providers don’t care – they rendered service to you, expect to be paid and will not wait months for you to pursue legal action. Perhaps you can negotiate “pay for delete” deals with the collection agencies.
