they have allowed a bankruptcy to be reported without verification or validation as the courts DO NOT communicate with agencies, that means they paid for consumer information and posted it without consent or verification ( see attached )

My account with the company and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in MONTHS REPORTING LATE to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

This company never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

Midland Credit Management purchased the debt from another debt collection agency for a XXXX XXXX Credit Card. A settlement arrangement was made and paid for 2 years to the agreed settlement of over XXXX XXXX At the conclusion of the agreed upon settlement they did not abide by the agreed terms and reported the remaining balance owed to the credit agency indicating no settlement was made.

Since then I have worked for over a year to get them to comply with their terms, have disputed the remaining balance and their misleading predatory practices to no avail. I have also disputed with the credit agencies and it remains on my record. It was also agreed on during the settlement that they would not report it and only after I fulfilled my agreement did they report it to the credit agency with the reduced balance and no history of the payments made.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

I believed she had documented and clarified the error. The collection company never gave a determination to the dispute. 2. ) On XX/XX/XXXX I was again notified by Experian of the same unpaid balance but now the collection notice was under a different collection agency. I again disputed the error but this time I called my XXXX XXXX  insurer who suggested dealing w XXXX and provided my w/ a phone number.

I informed XXXX this couldnt be true as I had closed my account. XXXX then gave me a phone number of who he identified as a XXXX billing representative who could help me. XXXX XXXX  had warned me not to allow XXXX to tell me they couldnt help and advised me only XXXX could rectify the issue. I told XXXX that I couldnt be helped by a phone number to a collection company and XXXX said he was not giving me the number of a collection company but he was giving a special DirectTV phone number to correct the error.
