How should I proceed?

What should I do here?

1. Dispute the tradeline through the credit reporting agencies. Follow up with a letter to GE Money Bank in El Paso to the attention of the FCRA Department wherein you "kindly" request the remove the tradeline. Typically, GEMB will do as such,

2. Dispute MCM/Encore's tradeline through the credit reporting agencies. If they verify the accuracy of the tradeline, consult a consumer attorney if your request for validation was timely. If your request was not timely, consult a Texas consumer attorney (Dean Malone preferrably) insofar as Midland is incorporated, in part, in Texas and is bound under the Texas Financial Code, thereby, they must validate a request by a consumer regardless of whether it is timely by the FDCPA standards,

3. Dispute late notations throught the credit reporting agencies and ask them to "update" the account. If verified, send Wachovia a goodwill communication requesting they remove the late payments as a matter of courtesy. If no movement, don't worry with it inasmuch these are not hurting you due to their age;

and,

4. & 5. Dispute the tradelines through the credit reporting agencies and request validation from the collection entities.
