Complaint narrative:
I called Midland Credit Management ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX, phone XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX, & personally PAID IN FULL {$1300.00} from my checking act, for my delinquent XXXX XXXX BXXXX  XXXX XXXX. Afterwards I received MCMs receipt dated XX/XX/XXXX thanking me for my payment & promising to send update to the 3 major consumer reporting agencies as paid. But this act is still listed on credit reports to this day, as charged off, not paid. And is listed with the last pmt to this XXXX act as falsely made way back on XX/XX/XXXX. Thus falsely hurting my credit score significantly. It appears my payment was embezzled, stolen & never applied to my XXXX act. I finally called the company & a foreign-sounding harsh-speaking man informed me that he hadnt had enough time, but would be promptly reporting my pmt soon. But still now in XXXX, nothing reported thus making this derogatory act remaining on my credit reports. Pls help me to get it removed. Thank You in advance!!
