I have searched the forums and could not find anything related to my case so i do apologize if there is something out there. Any help will be appreciated.
I recently checked my credit report and Midland is reporting to all 3 for an old Providian account. I DV CMMR Midland 3 times with no response so I contacted BBB earlier this month. Midland reported to them somewhat of a validation. I was unsure of this account but i do admit it is my account. It was charged off May 18, 2006. In the letter that Midland sent to BBB said that they outsourced the account in May 2009 to a local law firm here in Texas and I should contact them. I have not received anything in the mail. So i am now confuse. Does Midland still own the account? Do I pay the Law firm instead of Midland? My credit report says it will drop off in 2012. I am not trying to dodge this debt...I just need to know what the next step is in clearing it up. PLease anyone....help!!!!!
The CO date means nothing! SOL in Tx is 4 years from DOFD/DOLA. the CO date would come well after your DOFD.
File a complaint with your AG office.The CA only had 30 days to answer your first DV letter. This is Tx. law.
If the drop date is may 2012 then your DOFD should be about May 2005. You should be past SOL.
When you are past SOL it means that they can file a lawsuit but can not win. This does not mean that they must delete it your CR until the end of CRTP (2012)
Because they did not answer the DV by Tx law they might have to delete (CA). The OC does not have to delete/

SOL and judgment information is under the "Civil Practice and Remedies Code".
Title 5 of the "Finance Code" is "Protection of Consumers of Financial Services" and relates to credit reporting and collection agencies.
Finance Code Chp. 392 above is very similar to the FDCPA and governs collection agencies.
Sect. 392.101 covers the bonding of collection agencies and defines collection agencies as any company or person collecting within Texas.
Licensing is required for foreign and domestic collection agencies.
