Question about Midland and N/A's....

[Beautyandcredit]

HI all! I am looking at my Experian report which is my worst report and for Midland there are two from Midland that say almost nothing...and I also have The CBE Group who are also reporting for one of the Midland accounts...

 

For negatives on Experian I have 5, these 3 and two more one from LVNV that I just disputed obsolete and hopefully that one will drop off. After I get the answer back for that dispute, I wanted to maybe dispute the 2 Midlands?

 

I know that my report shows "customer disputes..." but this had to have been last year when I disputed this.

 

Thank you for your help!!

Midland pulls the same garbage all the time. They send a collection letter with a "statement" and then when you dispute they say it's disputed under the Fair Credit Billing Act, apparently some BS way of trying to avoid validation. Midland does not meet the definition of a "creditor" under the Fair Credit Billing Act and it therefore does not apply.

 

I've been meaning to file a complaint about this with my state's Attorney General and the CFPB since I pulled my last credit report and noticed what they'd done but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

 

Midland, if you're lurking, you're a debt collector. Or do you need a little Federal help to remember that?

[Beautyandcredit]

Yea and funny I NEVER get letters from them even after I dispute.

[scls]

Of course they're lurking, as big and famous as CB is...

[Beautyandcredit]

So when I do get the results of my dispute from Experian, what would be the best move pertaining to Midland?

[Beautyandcredit]

Bump

[Beautyandcredit]

Does anyone know how I should proceed?? Also, I noticed that CBE Group that is collecting for Midland has not updated since 2011, does this mean that I will have an easier task of getting this deleted? I just pulled EX and they still have "this item is being investigated" for the LVNV so I need to wait for that to be complete before I proceed with Midland correct?

 

Thanks for any input!!!!

As far as midland goes I would open a bbb complaint and CFPB. They should go away pretty quickly with those.

[Beautyandcredit]

Ok now should I still send Midland DV letter even though I know they will not respond or should I just proceed with complaint?

[moni08]

If you know they will not respond and they have done that before, stop wasting your time.

[Beautyandcredit]

Bump!

All you have to do is submit a complaint with the CFPB, along with your evidence. That should take care of your problem.

Have you sent them a DV?

 

They they just responded to mine that they are removing the 2 trade lines they had for me. Already gone from EX and TU. Waiting for EQ.

[Beautyandcredit]

Thanks for the suggestions. Well I havent DV'd them in over a year or more but they still say that customer disputes on my CR. I dont have anything in terms of evidence either because when I started doing my repair and before I KNEW better, I disputed online.

 

Should I DV them and THEN complain to CFPB? What should I say?

 

Also my results came back from EX regarding my obsolete dispute with LVNV Funding, which states on my CR that it should be coming off in MAY/14 they only updated... ughh

 

Seeing how on the EX (see my original post) Midland is on there as well as a CA collecting for one of those accounts and neither have updated in over a year, I hope those will fall off after dispute easier?

 

These 2 Midlands are my only baddies left on my TU also.

FCRA requires reporting to be accurate.

 

you dispute with the CRA's again

 

so incomplete as to be inaccurate
