GDayMateAZ Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Hello All, I am back. In Spring 2015, I happily bade my farewells to Courts and Collections and said "Hi" to clean credit reports and wise using credit. Until today, I had my TU (TransUnion) Credit Score 690-705 reported thru one of my credit cards. Today, I found my TU Credit Score as 602 and immediately requested my Free Annual Credit Reports after 1.5 years not worrying about this. My today's (11/12/2016) TU Credit Report show one deragatory item: MIDWEST RECOVERY SYSTEMS 2747 W CLAY STREET SUITE A ST CHARLES, MO 63301 (888) 253-3440 Placed for collection: 09/29/2016 Responsibility: Individual Account Account Type: Open Account Loan Type: COLLECTION AGENCY/ATTORNEY Balance: $720 Date Updated: 11/04/2016 Original Amount: $720 Original Creditor: VIN CAPITAL LLC <------------------------- I have no clue who are they (Financial) Past Due: >$720< Pay Status: >In Collection< Report Created On: 11/12/2016 Also I found that my old friends Midland and Navient (former Sallie Mae) recently pulled my Credit Report with TU: MIDLAND CREDIT MGMT INC 2365 NORTHSIDE DRIVE SUITE 300 SAN DIEGO, CA 92108 (844) 236-1959 Requested On: 08/19/2016 Permissible Purpose: COLLECTION NAVIENT SOLUTIONS INC PO BOX 9500 WILKES BARRE, PA 18773 (888) 272-5543 Requested On: 08/18/2016 Experian does not show anything, Equifax as usually denies my online requests and requires me send them by mail copies of my Driver License and SS Card. I opened my Dispute with TU and posted my Consumer Statement "Not my Account". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have no account they are collecting on then they violated and owe you money. Because you had that student loan Navient has a PP and the inquiry is allowed.

GDayMateAZ Posted December 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 MIDWEST RECOVERY SYSTEMS Collection Account (Alleged Creditor VIN CAPITAL LLC is no longer in business, according BBB) is removed from my TU credit report. And my TU Credit score is back closer to 690. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fisthardcheese Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Back in 2009-2010 I found lots of these unheard of types of collectors putting small collections on credit reports and then doing a "pay for delete" for $20-$50. It was a scam. There was never a debt, but people would pay a small amount to have it removed. It is likely it will be removed after your dispute. I am contractually unable to talk about what happened when Midland wrongly pulled my credit well after I no longer had a debt with them (which had been "dismissed with prejudice" months prior), but I would suggest talking to a consumer attorney about suing them for this FCRA violation. The FCRA does not provide for a means of disputing inquiries with no permissible purpose, but rather simply says that a violation is worth up to $1k.

GDayMateAZ Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 The last week, I've received in mail several separated letters (for each alleged debt) from Midland; RE: [Alleged OC] Dear GDayMateAZ, Thank you for your recent communication. We have reviewed our records and are writing to provide the following update: We have closed your account and ceased collections. You have no further obligation regarding this account. In the meantime, as requested by you, we will no longer be contacting you regarding this account by phone or mail unless it is to further respond to this dispute by you. Please call Consumer Support Services at XXX-XXX-XXXX if you have any additional questions. Sincerely, [John Doe], Division Manager The law limits how long you can be sued on a debt and how long a debt can appear on your credit report. Due to the age of this debt, we will not sue you for it or report payment or non-payment of it to a credit bureau. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
