they call me every day.

I pay my bills and they called this morning, *Indian Voice* claiming I owe! I owe no one nothing. I pay my Bills! Taking it to a Lawyer cause sick and tired of these stupid calls!

Has called ever day for last 4 days Today is Sunday--on my cell phone--how do we stop this--

I get this call around 2 or 3 times a day. I never answer the phone to a number I don't recognize. The only people I answer is my daughters and my friends. If it is important enough to leave message, They will. Then I hardly call them back unless I know something about the caller.

Calls fifteen times a day, no voicemails

I couldn't understand a word he said. I thought it was Spanish, but I'm not sure. He became loud when I couldn't understand him.

Scam, fake debt-collection from India

Midland credit i believe but had some guy asking for someone with a different name than here. Had heavy india accent. Has called 3 times in approx. one hour period. 9:09Am 9:56am 10:12am

Heavy indian accent. Actually called my mother's cell phone and asked for me. She's in her 80s! These calls are out of control...

They called me yesterday and I ignored it and looked them up here. Called again today at almost the exact same time asking for my parents. When I asked them who they were the guy wouldn't tell me anything. Asked him if he could at least tell me who or what company he worked for and he still wouldn't even tell me that. Promptly told him to not call me again because if you can't even identify your organization then this is some kind of scam. He sounded fed up and told me they would not be contacting me again.

I did not answer the cell phone so I am not sure who it was.I did not recognize the number.I only answer my cell phone when it is showing the name of the caller.(Most of the time).

These fools keep calling me saying I owe on a Master Card. Started at $176.00 and now at over $300.00. Keep telling them I have one master Card for over 12 years that I pay in full every month. This has been going on for over 5 years now and they wont quit. Yes, they do threaten you with arrest, court, police coming to get you, etc. Best advice is to block the multiple numbers they use, or just dont answer when they call.

These clowns call every hour! I've asked them to delete my number and stop calling. Tgey keep calling. Someone needs to demand they respect the do not call list respondents.

Keeps calling have ask to quit calling then they call from a different number

something fishy about these 'non calls' No one speaks but voices are heard as background noise. Probably a scamming call center.

They call several times a day but I do not have anything with a Midland Company, I don't care who they are collecting from. Show me the sign contract between us that I borrowed money and we will talk other than that, ALL my bills are up to date but can't say I have ever taken out a loan with these ppl and never will. If you cannot pronounce my name correctly it is obvious we don't do business together. Local is the best way to do business!

they never leave msgother site shows as midland credit collector

This number called my house every day. For example today the call came at 8:03am, 9:13am and 12:11pm.Your pick up and say do not call this # again and nothing.

Then answer the call and tell them they cannot call that number. By law they'll have to stop.

Called me at least 15 times this week, then when I finally picked up they just cut off the call after 4 seconds

They called me today and didn't leave a message and they called again and asked for my parents and I told them they were hear and I asked what is it for so I could tell them he just gave me a call back number and refused to tell me what it was for .so I hung up

they keep calling. when i answered they asked for me and of course i say im not available. then he said to give me the number i said whats this regarding and he said a personal matter and i hung up. they proceeded to call back 3 times and let it go to voicemail and then didnt leave a message

Debt Collector / Unlawful Call

Called. I picked up. Dead air.

Thanks, i guess I wasn't clear enough about who it was in my previous post. You really should try reading, you never know what you might learn, like what to do about the calls, who is calling, and where to report them.

I answer - nothing on other end of line.... someone trying to see if anyone is home?

Since at east May 20 when I began keeping a record, I've received 18 calls from this number. I answered once and there was no one there. No message is ever left on voice mail. How can I block this number.

calls multiple times a day, sometimes within 5 minutes of last call. I don't pick up and they never leave a message. They start about 9:00 am and last call can be about 8:55pm. Yesterday 7 calls from this number.

My father and I have started getting this same call also within the past week! Everyday they call at least twice in the morning and it's very early when the first one comes through then not long after that they call again. About two hours later they will call 2-3 x's again while we're eating breakfast. The calls will usually stop through out the day until dinner time and that's when they start up again. They will also call late at night up until around 9:00 - 10:00 pm!!! That really should be illegal and outlawed because there are certain times callers like these are allowed to call during the day (think it's from 8:00 am- 6:00 pm). I know because I asked the BBB about it one time and they told me. The best advice to give everyone here in regards to these 'mentally insane people' is to NOT ANSWER THE PHONE!!!!! That is IF you have caller i.d. If you don't, then you're stuck answering them and when you do pick up the phone to answer these calls it makes it a lot worse because they know for sure you or someone is home and that only makes them want to call more!! Bottom line ... DON'T ANSWER THE CALLS!! Eventually they will stop calling. It won't last forever although it seems and feels like it. This should not be allowed in the U.S. or anywhere! Would love if the CIA, FBI (our government) could do something about these calls eventually and put them to an end by blocking them on the phone lines but doubt it will ever happen cause it all involves $$$!

Stop harrassing me. It was resolved n paid in full. Got court documents saying u cant harrass me to prove it. Losw my number!

calls but no one on the line

This number keeps calling for a week including weekend. Today I answered the rude gentleman ask for my spouse when I informed him he was not home to please leave a message. The agent told me it was a personal matter and he will not leave a message. Before I reply that he was calling my cell phone he just hang up. Any serious company with respectful agents will not handle the call in such a rude way.

This number has called me 13 times since 31Jan2020. A 15 second silent message was left today at 11:28am. I don't have oustanding debt owed. I want the harrassing to stop. I have blocked all numbers from this company. I suspect a scam.

This number had called several times over the last week. When I answer no one is there and I hang up thinking it must be a solicitor. This evening when I hung up my husbands phone rang right after and it was the same number. He sent it to voice mail to see if they would leave a message. No message was left. Today I received calls at 12:32pm, 7:49pm, 8:15pm, 8:37pm Not sure what they want and wish they would stop calling.

Same thing happened to me today

Popped up as a spam call

Got a call from this number asking for my parents. I told them I was there daughter and that I didn't live in the household anymore. He kept asking for my parents' numbers and I told him multiple times I won't give it, and that I can pass along the message. The guy refused and continued asking for their phone numbers, which is when I hung up. He also said it was regarding personal business. Don't know what that means but hopefully they won't call again.

just more fkkn scammers blocked

she is most...........................

I keep getting calls from these people (?) but they do not leave a message. I don't return their calls!

Scamma

Midland Credit Management

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
