Consumer Narrative
From XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX I have filed four disputes with XXXX to correct information on my credit regarding a collections account. As of today, the only thing XXXX has done is reduce the collection amount by about {$600.00} or so. The problem is this, the collections account was settled in court in XX/XX/XXXX for a lower amount of {$1200.00}, with monthly payments of {$40.00} starting XX/XX/XXXX until the settled amount amount was satisfied. Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have made seven monthly payments of {$100.00} to said collector. According to my XXXX credit report the account is still in collections, the total amount due is way more than it should be and no payments have been made since XXXX. I have provided copies of my court document and all seven money order receipts as well as the XXXX XXXX receipts to show that I have been doing everything required of me based on the settlement. At this point I believe that XXXX is working for the collector and not the consumer. I submitted similar documents to XXXX and they have adjusted my account. Why cant XXXX do the same thing? Im not denying the collection and Ive been doing my part to satisfy the agreed payments. As for the collector-Midland XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX they are a bunch of crooks. Whenever I call them to discuss adjusting the correct amount due, they try to make a deal with me to payoff the account right then and there, and mind you whatever the amount is that is due is what they want me to pay, so if I had say {$800.00} left to pay thats what I was being offered to pay it off. Thanks
