Consumer Narrative
After reviewing my credit profile on XX/XX/2022 I identified a discrepancy with account listed under Midland Credit Management and validation was requested as this was an account that I did not recognize. I reviewed my credit report again on XX/XX/2022 and the account continues to reflect on my credit report, and I have not received any correspondence from creditor to validate this account as correctly belonging to me, nor has my credit report been updated to reflect that the account is disputed and therefore a 2nd validation letter was sent out on this day. After reviewing credit report again on XX/XX/2022 there have been no updates and the account still reflect on the report. I do not believe the account belongs to me nor do I believe that the creditor has authorization to access the account nor authorization to attempt to collect on the account and the account continues to negatively affect me. Please strike and remove this account from all 3 credit bureaus until adequate validation have been received proving that the account belongs to me and all information is correct.
