Figured I would give this a shot as it is my last negative TL. Mailed out the letter and FTC ruling last week and called today to see if the ball was rolling. The first woman I spoke with seemed a bit confused and promptly transferred me to the most unpleasant person I've ever had the misfortune of speaking with. She asked who gave me the copy of the ruling to which I responded, What does that have to do with anything? She wasn't sure but went on to tell me they purchased the debt and they're just going to go ahead and keep reporting it.
On a side note, I disputing the accounts with EX and EQ directly and they deleted them within a few days; TU not so much.
EDIT This was with Midland
I really don't understand the attitudes of CA agents. If you're THAT miserable in your job, then quit and do something else. Obviously if they can put three or four sentences together at any given moment to communicate with another human, they're capable of doing more than just doing being a CA rep. Or maybe they're just miserable in general and need to be in a well-padded room for a certain amount of time.
Anyway--when I sent them a request for deletion based on the ruling, they completely ignored me. I then disputed through all three CRAs and then they were deleted within two weeks. I then went ahead and filed a complaint with the BBB and FTC (I hate when I'm ignored), because not only were they reporting something they shouldn't have, they were reporting that it was never paid even though I paid in full in January 2013, and they refused to update.
