Re: Midland Deleted

Why was it deleted?

Was it excluded by the CRA based upon it reaching its credit report exclusion date, or was it voluntarily deleted by the debt collector?

 

A common reason for deletion by a debt collector is if the debt remains unpaid and their collection authority is either terminated or they owned and have sold the debt.

A new debt collector could obtain collection authority and report.

Is the debt paid or unpaid?

Re: Midland Deleted

It was deleted because I paid it, and it was older then 2 years old of dofd, per their credit reporting policy.

Re: Midland Deleted

Thats awesome. How long did it take for them to delete it? Did you pay the full amount or a settlement amount?

Re: Midland Deleted

I PIF.  It went to an attorney and I couldn't get a low settlement and didn't want to go through the hassle reviewing my income, I wanted it out of the way.  Apparently I had good timing when to take care of this, they claim there was a server going to serve me soon and I had to pay a 50 dollar court fee.  To this day I still have not been served or was even mailed a copy of the paperwork I paid for. I Think court fees is a misleading term they used because it was never filed with the court.  (In in MN which allows pocket dockets)

 

It took 2 reporting periods of Midland to remove it.  About 3 weeks total.  During this time I seen odd TL changes to this account.

Re: Midland Deleted

When ever I delt with paying settlements and collections I always used a money order.  They are 29 cents at wallyworld and I maled it certified with a letter requesting an immediate reporting.

 

Why I use a money order is, your not giving a collection company your checking account number or card number. 

 

The money order is consided secured funds.

 

I never sign the money order, nor do I sign any letters I mail out.  This is just as bad as giving out your account numbers.

Re: Midland Deleted

Hi.  Did you pay in full before it aged 2 years or after?  Mine will turn 2 years at the end of this month.  Trying to figure out if I should pay now or wait til after the 2 year mark in order to get mine removed.  Thanks for your advise!
