Complaint narrative:
I've contacted the credit bureaus XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) as well as the collection agency ( Midland Credit Management XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX ) and they are still reporting these inaccurate accounts on my credit report under the name XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is NOT my name and these companies continue to illegally re-age these accounts on my credit report. They also close the account and turn around and reopen the account. They also decrease the balance on the account by {$1.00} then turn around and increase the balance on the account by {$1.00}. The is against the law. 

According to the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) This " date of delinquency '' determines how long the debt can be reported on a consumer 's credit report. Generally, a CRA may report a delinquent debt for seven years from the date of delinquency. If the debt was discharged in bankruptcy, however, a CRA may report it for 10 years. 

Midland Credit Management services are repeatedly re-aging these accounts on my credit report. They are intentionally disregarding the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) law.

Also, according to 15 U.S.C 1681 law there should not be any damages on my credit report. This is defamation of character. Due to this, I am requesting {$1000.00} per month Midland Credit Management has damaged my credit profile with this inaccurate information. This has been reporting inaccurately on my credit report since XX/XX/2021. I am willing to settle this for {$15000.00}. I expect this to be resolved in 10 days of this complaint.
