How you can help get rid of medical debt in Charlotte area

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Action 9 wanted to do something about the problem of medical debt in our area and found a non-profit called RIP Medical Debt, which buys medical debt for pennies on the dollar and pays it off for people.

WSOC-TV donated enough money to wipe away $1 million in medical debt for people in the Charlotte area. You can donate to help wipe out debt for even more people. The money you give will go to the non-profit organization RIP Medical Debt and will help people in our area who are struggling with debt.
