Continuously calling my cell phone & not leaving messages.

Calls over and over. No message. When I answered they referenced a credit overdue I have never heard of. The address provided is not mine. Guy still would listen. Hung up. Please do not call again.

Debt Collector

Called mt cell phone again at 8:05am, exactly the same time as yesterday. Had them blocked through iPhone, now blocking through Google Voice. Hopefully that is the end of that.

Call at job and leave no message

Sat night call.didnt answer

DIDNT ANSWER

They have called me relentlessly, I don't answer and they never leave messages.

Continually calls no message rings 3X , caller ID says Spam 800 Servi , then phone number, and hangs up with no message

They don't care and will certainly call again. These are criminal debt collectors that have been fined and sued, but they are stealing millions so they just figure it is a cost of doing business.

They called 3 times both Friday and Saturday, left no message. Finally, Saturday I answered and they asked for my ex-husband, so I had to laugh. Before even looking them up on here, I knew it was a creditor. We've been divorced for seven years and things have not changed, haha. Yep, Midland Credit going after (in this case) my ex.They stopped calling the house but today, however, they called my cell phone. Only once so far. Blocked.

This number calls my office line daily including weekends but has never left a voicemail. Other posts list Midland credit, which I've never heard of.

Don't call on saturday or sunday anymore or i'll be placing a police report for harassment

Asking for MC number. Presume it its Master Card. Beware.

Midland Credit Management is a company out San Diego, CA, with corporate office in San Gabriel, CA. They called a business number of mine several times without leaving any sort of message, but where I could hear call center background noises. I called them back and spoke to an agent who, when prompted forcefully to do so, clearly identified the company's name and location. I then provided the telephone number he was calling and he declared that he was looking for a female, a private individual. For the record, he was calling a business voicemail that has never been affiliated with the female, and has been in continuous use since 2009. Their data is very inaccurate and/or outdated.

The lawsuit alleged that Midland filed thousands of collections lawsuits against individuals in Minnesota courts, often supported by unreliable “robo-signed” affidavits generated at Midland’s St. Cloud, Minnesota offices. Several Midland employees admitted in sworn testimony to signing up to 400 affidavits per day, either without reading them, without personal knowledge of their contents, and/or without verifying the accuracy of the information contained in them.The Consent Judgment requires Midland to: provide individuals with validation of the debt; verify the identity and address of an individual claimed to owe money at the outset, before any collection effort is made, investigate the matter and, if it cannot substantiate the debt, close the account; take steps to correct any adverse credit reporting, and not later resell the debt; not file affidavits w/ the court unless the person has: a) read and understood them, b) confirmed the authenticity of any documents filed w/ the affidavit, c) only based the affidavit on the signer’s personal knowledge, and d) signed the affidavit in the presence of a notary who acknowledges the affiant’s signature in accordance with law; implement standards to ensure it does not sue people on debt that is beyond the applicable statute of limitations; implement procedures to ensure it does not sue people on debt that it does not own; may not pursue a default judgment without giving the person written notice that their response does not constitute a legal answer and waiting 30 days so the person can seek legal counsel or otherwise respond to the lawsuit; include added specificity about the facts supporting its claims in its lawsuits so that individuals can meaningfully respond to the suits against them; at least 10 days before it pursues a default judgment against an individual, send a copy of the judgment request to the individual.Under the Consent Judgment, Midland will also resolve outstanding and future consumer complaints made to the Attorney General’s Office and pay $500,000 to the State of Minnesota.Other complaint Sites:http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/directory/midland-credit-managementhttp://collectionagencydebt.blogspot.ca/2011/ ... management.htmlThey are a Kansas Corporation.

O-CA-92123.htmlThis is a letter telling them that they are obligated to follow the FDCPA:UNITED STATES OF AMERICAFEDERAL TRADE COMMISSIONWASHINGTON, D.C. 20580Division of Credit PracticesBureau of Consumer Protection~Clarke W. BrinckerhoffAttorneyDecember 22, 1993Ms. Kimberlee ArbuckleMIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMENT500 West First StreetPost Office Box #576Hutchinson, Kansas 67504Dear Ms. Arbuckle:This responds to your letter dated December 2, 1993, inquiring whether Midland Credit Management, Inc. ('MCM') is a debt collector under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ('FDCPA' or 'Act'). You report that MCM 'purchases portfolios of delinquent accounts receivable for the purpose of profitable recovery, resale and cure. These accounts are owned solely by MCM . . .'Section 803(6) of the FDCPA defines the term 'debt collector' as 'any person who uses any instrumentality of interstate commerce or the mails in any business the principal purpose of which is the collection of any debts, or who regularly collects or attempts to collect, directly or indirectly, debts owed or due or asserted to be owed or due another.' In our view, a party that purchases delinquent accounts from the party to which the debts were originally owed and attempts to collect them from the consumer debtors fits clearly within that definition. The party is attempting to collect debts that were 'owed or due another' and the fact that title to the accounts is passed to the collector in no way changes that fact.In the leading case on point, involving a company whose business included the purchase of large volumes of checks that had been dishonored and subsequent collection of the checks from their makers (in the same manner as MCM buys defaulted accounts and thereafter attempts to collect from the account debtors), the court wrote persuasively that the purchaser is covered by the FDCPA. It gave short shrift to the fact that the party had actually purchased the checks in question:By use of the language 'owed or due another' Congress was attempting to exclude those entities that extend credit from the effects of the Act. Congress intended to protect borrowers from 'third persons who regularly collect debts for others.' (Italics by court; citation omitted). (The purchaser) is a third party collecting a debt originally owed to another. . . . It cannot escape the spirit of the Act by the technicality of purchasing the debt upon default so that title technically rests in itself.Holmes v. Telecredit Service Corp., 736 F. Supp. 1289, 1293 (D. Del. 1990)The only theory for exclusion of a party such as MCM from the 'debt collector' definition (and thereby from coverage under the FDCPA) is that it is a 'creditor.'(1) Section 803(4) defines 'creditor' as 'any person who offers or extends credit creating a debt or to whom a debt is owed, but such term does not include any person to the extent that he receives an assignment or trans-fer of a debt in default solely for the purpose of facilitating collection of such debt for another.' Since the accounts that MCM buys are delinquent when purchased and are being transferred for the purpose of collection, we believe that MCM is within the class that the 'creditor' definition expressly 'does not include.'(2) The words 'for another' at the end of the clause excepting assignees from the definition of creditor in no way changes this result:(T)he excluding factors in the exception are that the debts are the result of an assignment or transfer and that the debts were already in default at the time of assignment or transfer. With the phrase 'for another' at the end of the exception, Congress merely intended that the debts should have originally belonged to another and that the creditor was therefore in effect a third-party or independent creditor. (Italics by court)Kimber v. Federal Financial Corp., 668 F. Supp. 1480, 1485 (M.D.Ala. 1987). Accord, Holmes, supra, at 1293.In sum, it is our view that a party that obtains consumer obligations in default for the purpose of collection is a 'debt collector' under the FDCPA, even if that party actually purchases the accounts from the original creditor.The views set forth in this informal staff opinion letter are not binding on the Commission.Sincerely yours,Clarke W. Brinckerhoff________________________________________1. Section 803(6)(A) only specifically exempts creditors' officers and employees. However, it 'seems clear from the legislative history of the Act that Congress intended that this exclusion cover creditors themselves as well as their employees.' Holmes v. Telecredit Service Corp., 736 F. Supp. 1289, 1291n.3 (D.Del. 1990), citing Kimber v. Federal Financial Corp., 668 F. Supp. 1480, 1484 (M.D.Ala. 1987).2. See the comment on this subsection in our Staff Commentary on the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. 53 Fed. Reg. 50097, 50101 (Dec. 13, 1988.)So remember, when dealing with these scumbags remember that you have rights:Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes. The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.List of State AG’s offices: http://consumerfraudreporting.org/stateattorneygenerallist.php

[***] trying to collect on debt they do not own.
