Can I ask them to remove the words Collection Account?

Did you have anything in writing from CA that they would delete acct upon PIF???&nbsp;&nbsp; You could dispute with CRA's as inaccurate reporting of acct, maybe they won't bother to update since they have collected their money..</DIV> Tue, 08 Apr 2008 13:17:29 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/General-Credit-Topics/MIDLAND/m-p/204871#M95646 Anonymous 2008-04-08T13:17:29Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/General-Credit-Topics/MIDLAND/m-p/204936#M95676 <DIV>diesel, if you're gonna ask Midland&nbsp;to remove the words Collection Account, you might as well ask them to delete&nbsp;the entire account.</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>Good luck. I have read some posters have had success with Midland in getting paid accounts deleted.</DIV> Tue, 08 Apr 2008 14:32:18 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/General-Credit-Topics/MIDLAND/m-p/204936#M95676 Anonymous 2008-04-08T14:32:18Z
