Midland will delete after you pay in full or settle. It specifically states that on their website. I just paid off 3 of them and they all came off within 30 days. I'm not sure about Resurgent though. I had one from Resurgent that I paid before they started reporting and it never hit my report.
This is only for PFD purposes since I used it twice on a company that people had horrible reviews on it's not one that you have BUT if you want it removed pay it in full and ask them to send you a LETTER or preferrably EMAIL stating that if it is satisfactory/paid in full they will remove it from ALL of your Credit Reports within X amount of time and if you can get the name and direct number of the person giving you that email and ask when you will receive it while you are on the phone with them (my email came in about 30 minutes after getting off the phone with the guy)! I did this once because I was scared after I paid it they wouldn't hold their end of the bargain and once it cleared off all 3 reports I did the other one I had on my collections I am now Collection free and LOVING IT!!! not to mention it helped boost my score over 100 points!!! <3 Good Luck!
