Delete Bad Credit From Midland Credit Management

By Matt Douglas

To remove a negative mark on your credit from Midland Credit Management you should dispute the listing. You can dispute a listing by creating a dispute letter or hiring a credit repair firm.

If you have little damage to your credit report then I suggest you repair your credit yourself. However if you have multiple negative marks on your report then it would be wise to hire a company.

When the bureaus get your dispute letter they will investigate the dispute. They will ask Midland Credit to verify the account and the details.

If Midland Credit does not verify your account then the credit bureaus must remove the negative mark from your credit. It is not uncommon for business to be unwilling to spend the time and money verifying non collectible debts.

However some accounts will be verified and this is when a credit repair company can be handy. They can use advanced dispute techniques such as; escalated dispute information requests, creditor direct intervention and debt validation.

On the rare chance it is needed, a service will be able to go to court and fight for you. It has been learned that many marks on your credit are removed once an investigation takes place.

Who is Midland Credit Management?

They are a collection agency. They buy accounts from other collection agencies and directly from lenders.

They are located in Minnesota, Phoenix, and San Francisco. They are a subsidiary of Encore Capital Group.

They have a reputation of seeking judgments. This means they will file a civil case and sue you for repayment of the debt.

If they win they will be awarded a judgment this can result in your wages being garnished and is a very derogatory item to have on your credit. Thus we recommend you give immediate attention to a negative mark from Midland Credit Management.

Be cautious because if you decide to pay them it will not remove the mark from your credit. It will change the status but the mark will still be seen as a negative by potential lenders.

In sum if you have negative credit from Midland Credit Management you should dispute it immediately. You do not have to just pay them, or live with the bad credit mark for 7 years. - 15465
