Complaint narrative:
Since XX/XX/year>, I have asked Midland Credit Management to send me the aggregated value of purchase for the debt in question and they continued to send me portfolio views of the debt in question. In all correspondences, I specifically stated I did not want to be called via phone but wanted to document every form of communication via XXXX mail. XXXX XXXX never sent in a letter telling me I could settle or informing me that he wasn't authorized to send the purchase price to me. Instead he told me via XXXX mail that my property could be seized and my wages garnished if I didn't pay. I sought legal counsel who found the purchase price and Midland Credit Management paid less than 15 % for the debt. Therefore, I wrote a letter on XX/XX/year> offering to settle for {$1200.00} so neither parties would need to pay legal fees and I am trying to get back on my feet after being on unemployment for quite some time. I sent it via XXXX Certified Mail and it was received on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX and signed by Midland Credit Management employee XXXX XXXX XXXX On Thursday XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I received a call while at work from a Midland Credit employee threatening legal action against me trying to verify my address and I informed her I didn't want to be called and I sent in a settlement letter and she stated they didn't receive it until I told her an employee signed off on it and she was harassing me at this point despite me doing my due diligence in asking Midland Credit not to contact me via the phone. She immediately got off the phone once I told her she was harassing me and she needed to speak with XXXX XXXX and the consumer department as the letter was addressed to them per Midland Credit Management 's request to send all mail to.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal complaint and dispute concerning the inaccurate reporting of a vehicle repossession by XXXX XXXX XXXX on my TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax credit reports. I am requesting a thorough investigation and complete removal of this tradeline, as it is being reported in violation of multiple federal consumer protection laws. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX has reported a repossession account that is inaccurate and has not been verified with the proper legal standards and disclosures required by law. This entry is severely damaging my creditworthiness and impeding my ability to move forward financially. I assert that the account has not been handled with the compliance required under : Violations of Consumer Law Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) XXXX U.S.C. XXXX et seq. 

XXXX XXXX. XXXX ( a ) states that furnishers of information must ensure complete and accurate reporting of information to credit bureaus. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX has failed to verify the legality of the repossession, the account balance, and associated dates and status updates. 

XXXX XXXX. XXXX ( b ) also requires credit reporting agencies to ensure maximum possible accuracy, which appears to have not been followed by TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax in this matter. 

Regulation V XXXX XXXX Part XXXX Regulation V enforces accuracy and integrity in the information provided to consumer reporting agencies. 

There is no evidence that XXXX XXXX conducted proper procedures to ensure the legitimacy of the reporting as required under this regulation. 

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) Regulation F XXXX XXXX Part XXXX If XXXX XXXX or any affiliated collector attempted to collect or report this debt post-repossession without providing a full and timely validation, that is a clear violation. 

No debt validation or right-to-dispute notice has been issued to me, in violation of XXXX XXXX. XXXX and XXXX CFR XXXX. 

XXXX Article XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, a secured party XXXX take possession of collateral only without breach of the peace. I was not provided proper notice of default or repossession under XXXX, which governs the commercial reasonableness of disposition of the collateral. 

XXXX handling of this account raises serious concerns about whether a lawful repossession occurred and whether I was provided with the proper notice of intent to sell, deficiency notice, or accounting of proceeds, as required under federal law.
