Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action

Subissue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

Consumer Complaint: It's been many disputes I've made on this account for Midland credit management through XXXX XXXX and XXXX and for some reason it's always been updated I believe that inaccurate information should be deleted off your credit report also I believe XXXX XXXX and XXXX should be fined .for letting inaccurate information exist. When i do send a dispute to XXXX and Midland credit the only thing Midland credit does is change my balance up a dollar or down a dollar and put it back as updated and it just makes my credit score go down they've been changing the amount I owe for years and it just goes back to XXXX XXXX and XXXX as updated. I have proof that they done this at least XXXX times just change my balance from up a dollar down a dollar. On a balance that can't be changed.
