Midland Credit Management - Remove Bad Credit

To erase a mark on your credit report from Midland Credit Management you must dispute it. You can file a dispute by writing a dispute letter or hiring a credit repair service.

If you only have one derogatory item on your credit report I suggest you do this yourself. However if Midland Credit Management is not the only negative mark on your credit then I recommend hiring a credit repair service.

Upon the bureaus receipt or your dispute letter an investigation will be conducted. The bureaus will contact Midland Credit and ask them to verify the account and its details.

If the mark can not be verified then it must be removed. There is a good chance that Midland Credit will not spend the resources verifying an old non collectible debt.

However some accounts will be verified and this is when a credit repair company can be handy. They can use advanced dispute techniques such as; escalated dispute information requests, creditor direct intervention and debt validation.

On the rare chance it is needed, a service will be able to go to court and fight for you. It has been learned that many marks on your credit are removed once an investigation takes place.

Who is Midland Credit Management?

They are a collection agency. They buy accounts from other collection agencies and directly from lenders.

They are located in Minnesota, Phoenix, and San Francisco. They are a subsidiary of Encore Capital Group.

They have a reputation of seeking judgments. This means they will file a civil case and sue you for repayment of the debt.

If a judge finds in their favor and places a judgment against you then you can have your wages garnished and your credit score will drop dramatically. If you get a mark from Midland Credit you should respond immediately to avoid a judgment.

Be cautious because if you decide to pay them it will not remove the mark from your credit. It will change the status but the mark will still be seen as a negative by potential lenders.

In sum if you have negative credit from Midland Credit Management you should dispute it immediately. You do not have to just pay them, or live with the bad credit mark for 7 years.
