Consumer Narrative
Midland Funding LLC, violated my rights as a consumer according to the FDCPA. They violated my rights due to the laws listed below : 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A states i have the right to privacy. 15 U.S.C 1681 Section 6042 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. I disputed this account with the credit bureaus and they stated that they verified that my information is correct. After doing further research on my credit report I see an inaccuracy that should have been correct if the account was verified correctly. Midland Funding LLC, reported to XXXX that the date opened was XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX and XXXX date opened was reported on XX/XX/XXXX. Midland Funding LLC, reported to XXXX that this account is 120 days late and last active on XX/XX/XXXX. It was also reported to XXXX the last active date was XX/XX/XXXX. It was reported to XXXX the date last active was XX/XX/XXXX. From my understanding of the law EVERYTHING has to be correct and the same across the board ALL credit bureaus and if my account was verified correctly as they stated then this information should be accurate. So i request that my account be deleted from XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX.
