I would like to thank all the CB'ers for their help in repairing my credit in the past months since becoming a member of Creditboards.
I have researched and read and Im not sure which direction I should take concerning a Midland problem, and I would like your input,
.The facts
OC Charge off reporting for the past four years. DOFD jan 2005
This has been disputed with the CRA's several times in the past year
Here is the timeline.
Nov 11 received dunning letter to settle old verizon bill....(never spoke to midland prior)
DV'd CMMR. -(simple not mine, I dispute bill/debt/account in its entirety). recieved my MCM DEC 8.
Sent OC (verizon) asking for a validation, mentioning in the Midland letter and questioning who really owns the debt? OC removes chargeoff from report.
To date I have not recieved validation, 30 days have yet to expire
Today Dec 17, I pull my Amex credit secure to see a MCM entry on Experian only,
MIDLAND CREDIT MGMT

I know they cannot report until they validate. I expect Equifax and Transunion to start reporting soon.
What do I do next?. My plan was to stretch this out until jan 2009, the send a FOAD letter, That would be 4 years since DOFD.
CB'ers, whats my next move?...
Thank you in advance
