Consumer Narrative
I recently wrote to Midland Credit Management, via certified mail, requesting the deletion of the following account : Account Number : XXXX, and would like for you to have a copy of this document as well. I would also like to initiate another dispute with you in efforts to finally remedy this situation once and for all. Midland Credit Management continues to falsely verify this account whenever I dispute this item with the XXXX XXXX XXXX, -as well as yourself, the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau , -whom is a government entity. This company has stated to all parties, including myself, that the information in which they are reporting is verified as accurate. However, this is not true! Anyone with eyes can see that the information which they are furnishing is blatantly inaccurate, inconsistent, and or incomplete! According to federal law, my credit report to be 100 % accurate and truthful, -which is sadly not the case. Midland Credit Management has been reporting this inaccurate information for quite some time, and I have spent my hard-earned money, as well as countless hours of my precious time combating this issue. I have no idea how they continue to get away with this! I have recently informed you of this matter, as well as detailed the U.S. Code violations, yet somehow, you still allowed Midland Credit Management to report that the information was verified, which allowed this item to remain on my credit report. At this point, I pose the question ; Is Midland Credit Management above the law? Why are you not ensuring that this company is following federal guidelines, regulations, and or codes pertaining to credit reporting, fairness, accuracy, privacy, etc. This matter has also taken a significant toll on my health and livelihood, which I have detailed in the attached document. I have also enclosed the pdf version of my letter to this company, as well as my credit reports which display the obvious inaccuracies and inconsistencies this company is reporting, which they are falsely verifying as is accurate. This has to stop! Please see the attached documents.
