Continued telephone harrassment despite written warning and acknowledgment
Starting calling in June 2014. Sent validation and cease and desist letter in July 2014. Received a letter from Midland stating that they had made a "mistake." Bozos started calling again yesterday and today. I sent another letter (and email - Midland has a online form to submit a validation request) along with a copy of their letter. I also have copies of my telephone records. I have no debt problems so am contacting an attorney. I think we all need to band together and file a class-action lawsuit. Contact me at lauramhealy1@***.com if you have had similar, DOCUMENTABLE, problems.
Reason of review:
Poor customer service

COURT ANNOUNCES NEW FEDERAL RULES FOR COLLECTION AGENCIES
http://nypost.com/2014/09/16/court-announces-new-rules-for-debt-collection-agencies/ The state court system announced new rules Tuesday to stop debt collection agencies from using underhanded tactics to win judgments against poor or elderly credit card holders. Shady debt collection agencies frequently score court judgments for the wrong amount of money or even from the wrong person by using incomplete proof or by pressing cases where the statute of limitations has expired, the state’s court administrators said in announcing the reform. The collection agencies also frequently fail to tell debtors when a lawsuit was filed against them – a tactic known as “sewer service.” “While creditors have every right to collect what is legally owed to them, the Judiciary has an obligation to prevent inequitable debt collection practices in the courts,” said Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman, who called the new rules the biggest push for fairer debt collection in any court system in the nation. But the new rules, which go into effect Oct.1, 2014 will require creditors to prove a debt is valid, disclose the debt’s chain of ownership, and show that the statute of limitations is still valid. Establishing the chain of ownership is important because third-party debt buyers purchase huge portfolios of delinquent debtors and then launch suits with critical documents missing, the court system said. Third-party debt buyers will have to file affidavits from the original creditor and all intervening creditors. And in a move aimed at addressing “sewer service,” creditors must give the court notice of any new lawsuits so the notice can be mailed to the debtor. If the notice is returned as undeliverable, no default judgment can be awarded. “The adoption by the Unified Court System of these rigorous new requirements will undoubtedly avert unwarranted default judgments in consumer debt cases and serve to protect the rights of all New Yorkers, including some of our most vulnerable citizens,” Lippman said. There are over 100,000 credit card collection cases brought each year in state courts, according to the Unified Court System.

Verified Reviewer | Brandon, FloridaWas sued by Midland and Now they want to get paid
Went to court. They never showed. And now all of sudden they want to pay them. The case was dismissed. Now getting harassed all the time by them. They says I still owe 2 debts though them.

The next step will me to sue them and see how they like it. I do have all the proof in the court records that are post in Brevard County Clerk of Courts, in Florida.

Midland Credit Management - Debt Review
Midland Credit Management buys old junk debt that the original company can't legally go after you for. They then call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and attempt to get you to put a large deposit down with recurring auto payments. The total is higher than the original debt and does not remove the debt from your credit report. They also will often attempt legal proceeding threats to scare you into paying by them. Contest it and get it dropped based on the year limitations in your state.

Lowlife *** sucking bottom feeding *** are trying to collect on old debts, real or imagined, that they bought for 2 cents on a dollar from the original creditor. In most cases, these are fraudule
Called 21 times between 8/13/14 and 8/25/14 with increasing frequency, sometimes as often as 5 times a day. I'm a retired American Vietnam Era Veteran with some mobility issues. My wife is still working so I have taken over the household chores such as cleaning, laundry. It's a real pain in the *** to have to go to the phone when I'm doing something only to find that it's these vermin. I finally called these *** on 8/25 to inquire why they where calling me. I spoke to a woman with barely intelligible English and she referred my to a man with equally unintelligible English who asked for my name. I said that he had my phone number and why did he need my name. He said to ensure he was speaking to the right person. I refused to give him my name and he said that my number would be removed from the list. They called two more times that night, 8/25 and haven't called since (8/28). I don't know if this is a real fix, but so far, it has worked. I hope this may help some of the tortured souls that have victimized by these ***

Midland Credit Management - Debt Collection Review
I received a call this morning from MCM in regards to a debt they claimed I owed and they bought my account in May of this year. I asked if they could send me something regarding this info so I can look into it. The CSR stated they already mailed out a letter so when I inquired about the address, they gave me an address I have never like bed at nor ever heard of. He also gave me a list of phone numbers that were not mine. Is there anyone I can speak with to find out what is going on? This is "fishy"

Staff Review
People are rude ,can't speak English,hard to get thru to on the phone , they weren't suppose to deposit a check until a certain day and then told me that they sent out to a third party to process so who knows who is seeing your personal info . This company needs to be reviewed by the attorney general on their business practices .

Sends bills to nursing home
Midland Credit Management has sent a collection letter to my mother in a nursing home claiming that she owes money to a department store. My mother has a degenerative brain disease and has not been able to go shopping by herself for at least 10 years. This is the first I have seen of any debt. I am her primary caretaker and power of attorney. I called to see when the debt was incurred, but they tell me it is private data. Shame on those sleazy bastards.....really....scamming an 88 year old in a locked dementia unit.....what next???? Perhaps they would like the address of her cemetery plot so they can be sure to follow her there.

I DO NOT OWN ANY PENNY TO ANYBODY
I IGNORE WHY MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMENT IS BOTHER ME IF MY BUSINESS IS MAKE INVESTMENTS MAILNLY IN REAL ESTATE IN COORDINATION WITH SEVERAL BANKS SELLING REAL ESTATE IN GOOD PRICES, I HAVE SEVERAL COMMERCIAL ALL SIZE SMALL MALLS IN TEXAS. DO NOT BOTHER ME OR YOU MAY DEAL WITH MY ALL ATTORNEYS LAW OFFICES IN DALLAS AND HOUSTON. RATS, FRAUDULENT COMPANY, EMPLOYEES ARE FORCED TO BOTHER PEOPLE JUST TO JESTIFY THEIR SALARY PLUS COMMISSION. I THINK TO NOTIFY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND THE TREAUSURY THRU INTERNAL REVENUE SEVICE TO REQUEST AN URGENT AUDIT TO DETECT FRAUDULENT ACTIONS AGAINST PERSONS.

I overpaid Midland Credit Management and they owe me $$$$$!!!!
I am owed money ($425) from Midland Credit Management from over payment and I keep getting a run around after repeated phone calls. They wouldn't let me speak to a manager. I keep being told that they're "looking into it," but I still haven't gotten my over payment check after two months. If I owed Midland Credit Management money (as I did), they'd be sure they got it from me from harassing calls and mail!! I think that after I spent 5 months over paying this company that I should get the same compliance. Total BS! I am owed this money!!!!!
Loss:
$425
