ummm... Midland deleted???!!!?!?!

I recently corrected some personal information on my Experian and Transunion reports. PERSONAL INFORMATION ONLY. Got the results today and Midland was no longer haunting my credit reports. Huh?

 

No DV or PFD was sent at all because I don't have the money to negotiate. The only thing I did recently was call T-Mobile to verify the balance and try to PFD for a lesser amount with them. It was a no-go. They would only have Midland delete if I PIF. Hmmm...

 

I know since the debt is valid, it can always come back (until 8/2015 anyway), and it'll stay in my file til paid, but.... I'LL TAKE IT!

 

Haha, Midland! Smiley LOL

Keep in mind if it does get re-inserted the CRA will have to notify you with in 5 days. Your score could take a big hit.

Re: ummm... Midland deleted???!!!?!?!

If it gets re-inserted or Midland pulls my credit, can I start the DV process all over again so that at least I can stop collection activity for a while?

 

Since I already verified with T-Mobile, my plan was to pay T-Mobile in full with some money I'm expecting in a few months. I didn't want to deal with Midland at all and just surprised they were gone. I don't want them back!

Who owns the debt? T-Mobile or Midland?

I'm assuming T-Mobile. I'm still not understanding how that gets verified. But T-Mobile said they could accept my payment in full and pull Midland from my credit reports. T-Mobile isn't reporting on my credit.

Be advised, they cannot.

 

Yes, they can (if they still own it) pull the debt back and take your payment. If they are listed in ADDITION to midland, they can delete their own entry.

 

They cannot legally require midland to delete their entry. They could recommend they do so, and maybe midland would do so based on that recommendation. Just sayin, dont take their word that they will get midlands entry off your CR based on them 'requiring' midland to do so.

This is only the case if the account was deleted due to a dispute with the CRAs.
