To erase a mark on your credit report from Midland Credit Management you must dispute it. You can file a dispute by writing a dispute letter or hiring a credit repair service.
If you only have one derogatory item on your credit report I suggest you do this yourself. However if Midland Credit Management is not the only negative mark on your credit then I recommend hiring a credit repair service.
Upon the bureaus receipt or your dispute letter an investigation will be conducted. The bureaus will contact Midland Credit and ask them to verify the account and its details.
If the account can not be verified then the mark must be removed from your credit report. It is common for business to not verify accounts because it costs them time and money.
However if the account is verified a credit repair service can really help you. A service will be able to use advanced dispute techniques such as; debt validation, escalated dispute information requests and creditor direct interventions.
In addition a service can take your case to court if it is required. However it is common for investigations to result in the removal of negative marks, regardless of its accuracy.
