Midland Funding is incorrectly reporting a collection account on all - of my credit reports as an Factoring account. I have never entered into any agreement with Midland Funding or any of its associates. They are updating this account monthly as past due '' so as to cause a greater negative impact to my credit score. Because of the way they are incorrectly reporting this account, it appears to any other creditors that I have recently become late on a account and or loan when, in fact, I have not been late on or missed any payments with any creditors in nearly six years. This has caused me to be denied credit when I should have otherwise been approved. I sent a direct dispute to Midland Funding on multiple occasions specifying that they were incorrectly reporting a collection account as past


unable to determine the nature of my dispute, and consequently deny that their records are inaccurate. '' I was very clear in my letter to Midland, I was very specific in my direct dispute, citing every error that was being reported. Midland 's response makes me believe that they did not even bother reading my letter or following up on any of my claims. Specifically, Midland may not list this account as a factoring account, as they are not a creditor and I have never entered into any agreement with them Midland also may not show the account as Past Due '' as they are not a creditor and may not list an account as past due or current. Midland also may not report a recent payment history as they are not a creditor. Midland also may not list the terms of the account as 1 Month '', as I have no terms or installment agreement with Midland. Finally, Midland may not report my payment status as Past Due '' as Midland is not a creditor and I do not have any installment agreement with Midland. Due to the manner in which Midland is incorrectly reporting this account, they are in violation of 15 USC 1692e ( 2 ) ( A ), 15 USC 1692e ( 8 ), 15 USC 1692e ( 10 ), and 15 USC 1692f.
