So I have read all the threads on here regarding Midland and what a pain they can be to deal with; they are all that and more!! But I am hoping someone can just give me a little shred of hope or advice on how to handle them. So I had an account get sent to them 2/22/13 for $595 and I paid it off IN FULL on 3/11/13; 16 days!! I have mailed and emailed GW letters and gotten the same response "we are reporting paid in full...blah, blah." The problem I have is I know there is no way I would have or even could have afforded to paid $600 in one blow to a CA unless they threatened me with reporting it to the CRA's. (Yes it makes me sad to admit that, but it's true....they intimidate me and scare me into paying). They say they listened to the tape and that was not the case and they never said that. I have spoken to 2 different people in the department both telling me they are the department to delete TL but they can't do it for me!! They had the account for 16 days!!!! I feel helpless, and know getting this off of my report would really help. The lady I just got off the phone with so kindly told me don't worry it is scheduled to fall off your CR in 8/2019.......really; like that is supposed to help?
Sorry I'm just venting and a bit stressed. If anyone has any suggestions I am more than happy to listen to them
Thanks for reading.
Disregard all the negative they may say and continue mailing 1 GW letter a month until you get what you are after, at some point they will get tired. Good luck

Does Midland ever get tired? I sure hope so!! Should I take advantage of the fact that I have an email now since they emailed me?
To borrow a phrase from "Steel Magnolias"...they are a boil on the butt of humanity.
Truly, honestly, one of the worst companies EVER. Good luck dealing with them!

lol - great movie, great quote!
To the OP, I would definitely use the e-mail to send your GW requests. Maybe mix it up, snail mail, email, etc..

Thanks! I will try that.
So I saved the below letter, but apparently didn't make any notes as to what to use it for, lol. Obviously it is geared towards Midland, but was it something someone used to send to Midland or to the CRA's? That's what I get for cutting and pasting stuff and not printing everything. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to review my file and to help me with this matter of dealing with Midland Credit Management. To date, Midland has a poor track record in regards to its collection tactics which have resulted in fines from the United States Government and from individual states as well. As of this year Midland has had to pay close to one million dollars in fines and penalties due to their unlawful business procedures which violate the consumer’s rights. Their illegal actions have caused thousands upon thousands of consumer’s credit files to be tainted with negative remarks which includes myself. Please remove Midland Credit Management from my file so that I can restore my credit and good name back to where it once was. I thank you one again for your time and I look forward to having Midland Credit Management removed from my credit file.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that was not sent to Midland...lol
It might have been sent to the OC on an account that Midland was associated with? I can't see anyone sending this to the CRA's.
Can you PM me the contact info please?
