I recently have been attempting to fix my credit. I had 2 judgements one I had vacated and the other is willing to settle for 2000 on a 6000 judgement. My question is the one that is willing to settle is no longer showing on my credit report. Should I pay them a lump sum or payments after payment they will vacate judgement.My hands are tied because I had thought i had settled it several years ago and sign some documentation now I owe the balance or else they might be able to enforce full judgement.

 

I had a collection account from Midland that was showing up on all three credit reports.  Suddenly last week, my Experian FAKO score jumped 20 points up and the only difference was that the Midland account was no longer showing on my Experian report.  It is still posted on on EQ and TU. 

 

I disputed this with all three bureaus in June and they all came back as verified as mine.  I just sent a DV letter to Midland two weeks ago with no reply .  Is the EXP drop a mistake?  Can it come back on to the EXP report later?  I am hoping that the DV caused the change on EXP and that EQ and TU are going to drop Midland too.  Any thoughts?
