Rude and unprofessional
Midland calls me about 6 times a day on my cell phone during work hours so i do not answer. The kicker from this is they don not leave a message for a return call. Next the guy says when i did answer that i have been making regular payments, so i ask why the calls then. He say i owe him the money and i say nope its the company i had the account with not you and he gets really upset and hells at me and gets rude and talks to me like i him his child or something so i go off him. I ask him how did he get my cell number and i never get answer back or any answers on the account. So i just hang up amd that makes them really mad and when they call again they mad so right off the bat they rude and confrontational so i just tell what i will do and hang up. But really who do they think they are for real
No information about Collections
I have no idea who this company is collecting for. Also the lawyer for the plaintiff David A Cohen/Mitchell G. Slamowitz/Mitchell Selip, Esqs. Cohen & Slamowitzllp will not give any information. So they can just file papers on a court and collect money for no reason. And they dont have to identify who they are collecting for? Second the collection letter from the sheriffs office is the only notification of anything.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I wish I have read this a year ago, I received a lawsuit and call Midland Funding, I set a payment plan with them I paid for 9 month then I got laidoff I called them and told them I can not make any more payment because I am not working. They said to call when I can make a payment.
I got a job four month ago and just receive a letter address to the company I work for from them, with the amount and judgement paper asking for information about me.
What should I do is this illegal and should I let my boss know since the company name in on the paper.

Thank You all for your support and dedication!
if they sue u, just don't miss a court date, answer the summon. don't pay until they prove the ownership of the debt, (ask them for paperwork that they can collect the debt from you legally), and validate the debt( proofs that u owe this debt). i also have them dimissed my case when i asked for proof in court. it was never went into the trial, they just dimissed it on pre-trial. don't pay if they can't show u proofs. statements from midland is not proofs.
what is this
I recieved a letter asking me to settle my almost 12, 000.00 debt with them in half and only pay $6, 502.86. Problem, I have been cleaning my credit up to buy a home for a little while. Who in the heck are these people. They are not on my credit nor do I have a clue what they are talking about. I have attampted to call, they are very nasty and answer no questions. The letter states nothing as to what this was for. I have seen many complaints on line now about this Midland Fundling LLC. Are they just a scam, or what. THis is crap
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I have tried on numerous of occasions to first, find out what debt this is; secondly, educated to them that this was caused by Identity theft. I have produced countless letters from the Bank itself as well I mine, to include a claims submission in the regards of " Midland Credit Managemnt, Inc Telephone Consumer Protection Act Litigation Settlement.
I was robbed at a gas station in Blue Mtn, KY (police report was filed) in 2007. From there, my banks accts were taken and numerous of accts and credit cards were opened in my name. All were dismissed, closed and fraud alerted; except this. I have proved time and time again that this is a fraudulent account. I was divorced in 2004, and closed every credit card down that me and my spouse had as well as any joint accts. I bank with one bank and have been since my return to the US in Jan of 2003. This company and Messerli have REFUSED to tell me what this is, (either an acct opened or a credit card) REFUSED to provide documents, but only have said this is a Bank of America deal. I have called Bank of America and have letters stating I have NEVER had an account or credit cards through them. They have SENT letters to me as well as to Midland Funding, LLC and Messerli. They BOTH say they have never recieved. Last year, they literally garnished my bank acct, and my daughter's, I had to fight to get that back as I am a single parent, and that had funds for rent, bills and food, (see Claim of Exemption letter). I have resent NOTARIZED papers they have sent me regarding the fraud acct, as well as the letters from the bank. They are now trying again to garnish my pay on something that IS NOT MINE, never was.
This is harrassement, added stress, has my job in jeopardy, these are the points that red flag this:
The second page that has the notary signature says “that judgment has been entered”.
-Has a court judgment been made?
-South Dakota Codified Law 21-18-3.1 states that "Garnishment prohibited before judgment. Garnishment prior to obtaining final judgment in the principal action is prohibited.”
-The document has a Court File No. however there is no indication that the document has been filed with a court (such as a clerk of court signature)
This is a list of all the facts of my case:
-Victim of ID Theft
-Have filed an ID Theft Affidavit with Midland
-Filed a claim of exemption
-Past actions have been released
-Unaware of a judgment
-Attempting to Garnish without a judgment
-past the statute of limitiations
I too have been scammed by Midland Funding. I have no proof I paid the $1, 200. I have court again tomorrow third time off from work. Now they say we are going to a jury trial. What do I do?
Midland funding llc is a scam if you need help removing there collection company off your credit report please give me a call or any other negative accounts [protected] or email lohcreditrepair@yahoo.com I can help my company is 1 on 1 Reliable Credit Repair Company. I can email you samples of my work.
Do not let Midland Funding intimidate you. After my wife lost her job of 20 we fell behind in our bills. One credit card company refused to work with us and sold the debt to Midland. We did not know Midland purchased the debt, and Midland did not contact us until they racked what was a less than $400 debit into $15.000 with late fees, interest and 'legal' fees. First we got the 'let's settle' pitch and we refused. Then they started the barrage of calls from an array of different numbers. There were also letters, never via registered mail, threatening everything from a sheriffs sale of our property to eternal damnation. Then, they threatened a law suit, our reply, "Go for it."
Several months later, they asked for a mediation hearing in civil court. We agreed. We went in and showed that my wife had paid on the credit card until her unemployment ran out. We showed the letters from Midland with all their threats. We provided a list of all the various phone numbers they used to call, and most time never left a message, and proved Midland did not contact about the debt until all the interest and fees were racked up. Midland did sent an attorney to the arbitration, who sat in the courtroom and never said a word through the whole of the proceedings.
The court awarded Midland Funding, zero dollars and no cents.
Do not let these people railroad you. They are poorly prepared, ineffective and operate in grey areas of the law at best. Do not sign or even reply to ant documentation they mail you unless you consult a lawyer first. Do not agree to anything they offer that is less than view in your view, not theirs. Their only hope they have is to be able to beat you down into making a deal to make payments on a reduced figure. If you believe they have taken unfair advantage of your situation, fight them.
I might also add that an arbitration hearing is chaired and heard by actual attorneys, who have a less than favorable view of bottom feeder law firms such as Midland.
These folks are ruthless and are predatory. They prey on unsuspecting and uninformed people. They brought up collection of unsecured 6 year old debt against my deceased mother's estate. They got the estate filing number from a paid list. They prey on those who are grieving and hope you or your attorney will just pay them with no questions asked.
Do not give in to these folks and press your estate attorney (if you have one) to not pay automatically and force Midland to provide legal proof that the loan is valid according to federal law. If you ask them to validate the loan, they legally have to and they have to provide you with certain information so you can research to make sure the debt is legitimate. When I asked them for this, they dropped the ball and did not give me what I needed to validate the debt. Too bad for them. If they harrass you after you ask for validation, immediately contact an attorney and sue them. There are certain federal laws and various state laws put in place to stop that kind of predatory activity.
Come to find out my mother had paid the debt to the original note holder. There was a $30 late fee that did not get paid. The original bank closed the account. Midland probably bout it for five cents. Midland could not provide a signed contract with my mother's signature. They tried to hoodoo me and sent me a contract form the original bank. Of course, there was no signature and no date on it. It was a blank contract that I could have pulled on the banks website. The loan was 6 years old and they bought the $40 late fee 3 years later. The never attempted collection with my mother. They waited until she died and then attempted to collect. To bad, they were way out of my state's statute of limitation on collections. They also could not prove they ever did nay business with my mother.
As legal administrator of the estate and with the blessing of the judge overseeing the estate - I barred Midland's attempt at collecting $6000.00 on the estate. They then started sending me collection letters addressed personally to me, being careful not to say I owed them money but that the decedent was their customer. I guess they did not read the court documents I sent to them.
This made me chuckle since it is illegal in my state to send letter requesting collection through another party or family member. In my state you can actually sue the company for such a thing. I wrote a quick letter quoting my state's general statute and they stopped immediately. They are not stupid, but count on you being ignorant to the law.
They will file against you in Ohio. I still chuckle that they have a dead person on file in Ohio who they are suing. I do not recommend to take Midland to task without an attorney who is knowledgeable of credit laws and estate laws in your state. I just happen to be friends about 25 attorneys and 10 judges in my state - so I had one leg up. I hope they harass me again so I can sue them for a few thousand dollars plus my attorneys cost.
I recently recieved a request for defualt from the midlad funding and i have spoken to them, they want to set up a payment plan but want 800 in deposit which i dont have, i dont know what to do, and they are also trying to charge me another [protected] for attorney fees on top of the 3000 i owe already, it a walmart credit card account which i guess was sold be GE money Bank to Midland, im not sure on what to do.
ok lets discuss "common thief" comment, using your argument. You take out a department store credit card with a $250 credit limit but then you have to pay a yearly fee of $59 but "hey we will be nice and bill it to your credit card" and your interest rate is 11%. So in truth your credit on the credit card is only $191 but you dont understand because the nice lady that signed you up didnt explain that the $59 goes against what you can use, so thinking that you have $250 you buy $200 worth of stuff so that way you are below your credit limit and rather than you being declined the dept. store charge goes through and then at a later time in that monthly cycle they add the $59 fee so now you are at $259 on a $200 credit limit so guess what. Now they raise your interest rate to 22% and you are charged a late fee also of lets say $35 so now you are at $294 on a $250 credit limit and your payments are substantially higher than you expected so you call the credit card company for help and guess what you are told you are basically SOL, most people get angry and say screw it and pay it off but not all are able to. THIS sounds like a crook to me, but guess what I am not alone because Congress passed laws against this because it was so widespread unfortunately it did not help those already victimized by these crooks.
Then we get to the "greedy vampire" collection agencies that by your own comment Mica1755 thinks of people as common thieves, when the collection company charges off this debt that they continued to add fees to, they are able to charge it off and get tax write offs for an noncollectable debt.So here comes the collection agencies purchasing these debt for pennies on the dollar, so keep this in mind the c.c. company gets tax write off and still gets money for the debt. Now collection agency 1) we will call this company Midland Credit Management, oops did I let the cat out of the bag it's the same company as Midland Funding if you look through their papers, anyways they may send a letter saying something to the effect of if you dispute this debt you have 30 to dispute it. But truthfully even if you do dispute it, it does absolutely no good and you will get zero response. Now collection company 1) again lets say Midland credit Management holds on to this "debt" with out any other notification to the supposed "debtor" and they are adding fees. So now they right it off on taxes as noncollectable and they sell this debt to another collection company 2) Midland Funding who now adds their fees and threaten to sue you but guess what you original $250 credit card debt is now over $3500. Why do you think they all the time over you a "special settlement price" of a third off or half off ?
So my question is WHO is the thief, 2 or 3 tax write offs numerous added fees and over 10 times the original debt?
Again I will say Midland Funding is a scam if they do try to sue you please go to court and demand original documentation. If I am wrong then Mica explain why they arent coming after me any more?
SCAM, SCAM, SCAM
Cant say exactly what the rules are in Ohio but in Iowa they have to take you to court first. If they do SHOW UP and Fight. In Iowa if you are on social security they can not touch it. No matter what some of these liars that are bill collectors come on here trying to scare people saying they are "VERY TENACIOUS" are just trying to try to get you to do something. Now that I know and somewhat understand the game I welcome them coming after me because unless they have the proof they are SOL.
I am being sued by Midland Funding as well. Let me tell you about my circumstances I am a 68 year old woman on 660.00 Social Security a month. In the past 2 1/2 years I have had to bury my mother anyone knows the cost of a funeral. My daughter and grandchildren lost their home to foreclosure to Ameriquest another great California based Vampire Company so I had to take my saving to help them find a place to live so they are not homeless. I care for my 89 year old father who has dementia his diapers alone are over 100.00 a month not to mention his medicine and everything he needs so of course I have no money at all. Here comes Midland Funding saying they will attach my bank account, place a lien on the little home I have and worked for 50 years to pay for they go on and on with their threats. I understand the General Manager of this disgraceful company if 39 to 40 years old he is probably driving around in a big fancy car live in a big fancy house I would not doubt this low life company would sue their own mother to satisfy their greed. Most Americans do not just stop paying on their bills things happen in their lives that prevent them from paying for example on my street alone 5 families are without work of course they are going to feed their little ones and keep a roof over their heads first. Well I guess me and my father should go live in the street at our age to give the greedy vampires some more blood money. I hope the people of Ohio all stand up and file another Class Action suit against this [censor] of a company.
I dont know if this will help but let me tell you my recent experiences with Midland funding. On Dec 29 2009, we were served papers by sheriffs dept. It was from Midland Funding. There was absolutely no information on these papers except to say we owed them $1250 for a HSBC card. Having never had a HSBC card we answered at the courthouse and a court date was set at the end of January. When we got called up to the magistrate he asked us about this lawsuit to which we questioned the legitimacy and said the attorney that was suing us wasnt even there. The Magistrate said in Iowa the attorney doesnt have to be there, to which I questioned "so we can be accused of something with absolutely no proof and not even be able to face our accuser even though this is a small claims lawsuit?" The Magistrate then called Midlands attorney representing them and asked when this account was for and was it a regular credit card or a store card. The attorney did not know so the Magistrate gave them a continuance until March 2, 2010. On March 2 we showed up again and when we checked in the clerk of court said "Oh we forgot to schedule you today" so we had to come back the next day and this time the Magistrate asked us about it again and I told him that he gave Midland funding a continuance to get their papers in order and we showed up the day before when the court day was scheduled and then again today when the clerk of court rescheduled us.( Sidenote==How can the clerk of court reschedule a court day for the next day without giving the plantiff attorney who lives several hours away notice unless the attorney already knew we were not scheduled and assumed we would not show up?) Any ways after I told the magistrate about his continuance he called the attorney stated who he was and said we were there and then he said into the phone OK Thank You. He hung up and said Ok this is dismissed.
I really think the attorney, and the magistrate, and the clerk of court never expected us to fight this to find out what it is. But ultimately Midland Funding is a joke basically a legal scam. So fight them and demand proof of debt. Chances are great that they dont have squat.
Total scam
Midland Credit sent me a notice that I owed over $1, 600 for a bill from Citi Bank. I contacted Citi and they said I owed nothing and to ignore them, now I've received a notice from Alliance One on behalf of Midland & Citi Bank. I contacted them but didn't give them any information. They said it was from a debit from 1984 and they had my social security number. I wouldn't give it to them, so he told me it. My ex-husband & I had claimed bankruptsy due to an auto accident and it was finalized in 1985. I told them not to contact me anymore as I didn't owe this, but they said I had to prove it, I had to send it a copy of by bankrupsty discharge notice. Do I really have to do this? This is way of the statue of limitations in my state of Washington.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Tommy,
First of all, DO NOT MAKE ANY PAYMENT TO THEM as this will generally reset the statute of limitations in most jurisdictions. Secondly, this debt should have been discharged in your bankruptcy if you had competent counsel, so you probably do not owe the debt. Third, obtain a copy of your credit report to see if they are reporting this debt as being current, if so, you almost certainly have cause to sue them for a violation of the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA"). Fourth, they are the ones that have to provide proof of the debt to you, you do not have to prove it is not yours (remember the logical problem of proving the non-existence of something, you really cant do it). Ask them to notify you in writing of what they intend to do...if they say they are going to sue you in court to recover, this would be a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA") as they are forbidden from threatening to take action that they know they cannot undertake, i.e., suing you on what is clearly a time-barred debt as well as suing you on a debt that was most likely discharged in bankruptcy (check your BK petition to verify that this Citibank account was listed as a debtor, however, even if it was not listed, it is clearly time barred/beyond the statute of limitations.
Lastly, or perhaps first of all, you should contact a local attorney that is a member of the National Association of Consumer Advocates ("NACA"), you can find an attorney on their website at www.naca.net. Good Luck and don't let these bums push you around. I could say a lot more but I have to get back to work...

harrassment
First I need to let anyone know reading this that there are TWO addresses on the letters I receive from this company. One is the address listed in this header, the other is P.O. Bx 603, Oaks, PA 19456.
We had to file bankrupcy due to 2 companies going under that my husband worked for within 6 months of each other. Some creditors worked with us and some would not. This, Midland Credit Mgt. company called the first time after we filed, I advised them as my lawyer told me to of the bankruptcy, gave them all of the contact information, they were very nice and said that we would not receive anymore phone calls. I did receive another call just days later, I repeated all of the same information I had given prior to this phone call, and again was told I would not receive anymore phone calls. I have been getting letters now from them telling me they will continue collection proceedings unless they receive verification of the bankruptcy. My lawyer told me to call them, find out who they are collecting for and to get a fax number from them. I can only get voicemail with them, and no one returns a phone call. Their letter only has another collection company listed as who they are representing, and the total amount due does not match any creditor that we have listed in our accounts. I'm sure they represent someone, but, it looks as if they change the balance after they pick up the account, then you're left trying to figure out who is the original creditor.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I was making progress with a debit card for five months with no problems all of sudden on the last payment they said my card was decline now how strange I called and checked my balance it was fine these people are very shady also I found out that every time I made a payment they would still call me and asked if I would like to double up my payment I told them if I could I would so now I'm going to send the last payment but not sure how they wanted my checking account I said no
I disagree because the same thing happened to me only the two address listed on the letter were in California. Hummmm unmm does the word shady come to mind
Disputed dispute
MCM sent me letters over about a 2 year period suggesting I owe varying amounts and not in increasing order. Started at $7, 000, then went to $8, 000 and ballooned up to over $10, 000 and then went back down to $9, 000 and $8, 000. I like many others have played the card game bull... you know the rest, so I called them on it and said prove that I owe you anything. First they sent me another statement asking me to pay, then as stated by others they asked ME to give them proof of the debt. Finally some outside company they work with sent me a letter stating that MCM had NO DOCUMENTATION showing that I owed anything. Problem solved right... WRONG! They have recently sent me a statement (without the red markings this time) asking me calmly and nicely to pay $9, 000 on the debt they already couldn't prove I owed. I swear these people are a piece of work. I'd be offended if I thought anybody intelligent actually worked there. Best part is, they said they would report account as paid in full once I paid; lucky me! *sheesh*
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
closed account
I closed this account in January of 2006. Pay the bill in full also I cut-up the card and sent it back with the payment. Later I paid a charge that was filed after january. I didn't hear anything from Tribute after that then in November of 06 MCM started sending me letters that I still owed Tribute. I've sent MCM copies of my money orders talked to every one even people in India that handles Tribute custemer services. And I'm still receiving letters from MCM. Also I've disputed this with the credit reporting agency. And nothing has came of these efforts.

illegal collection?
I was never personally served, I did call them and tell them about the illegal part, then proceeded to offer to pay only what I origingally owed. They refused to work with me. I have offered to pay What I really owed to the Co. and the last collector (Midkland told me it was already charged off). I tried to ask for help before being late the first time and they said "no, we will make more money if we don't, and we always get the money". This was by the original creditor. I got a notice when it was to late about court, and could not make it. I am now sending a Request to open Default Judgment. What else can I do? Thank You
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
No validation
We have sent Mid-land Credit Management a letter of debt validation...over a month later we get a letter in the mail stating-
"The purpose of this letter is to request your assistance so that we may reach a quick resolution to your dispute.
As part of our investigation of your dispute, it would be helpful to have a copy of any documentation you may have that supports your dispute. In the interim, we have requested the three major consumer credit reporting agencies change the status of this account to "Disputed".
Please mail or fax canceled checks, paid letters, police reports, or any other documentation you may have to support your claim."
What? Yes, let me help you sue me. How would I go about in writting a rebuttal letter to this? Can they even do that. If they bought the debt shouldn't they have proper documentation? Please help.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I have received calls from Midland credit and letters.They have all my personal info.What do I do?I do not recall having credit cards from 2010.Any suggestions?
after thirty days of requesting validation, if they cannot or do not validate it they have to stop ALL collection activities until they can validate it. here is a great site, with sample letters, to assist you in fighting these crooks. http://www.creditinfocenter.com/rebuild/debt_validation.shtml

Even if it says no correspondence sent it !
I completely agree. I just a wage garnishment from my company. I don't know who hell this company is. I called the law firm representing them, to get more information on the debt they are claiming to collect. They were rude, nasty, and totally not professional. They are claiming to have a signed certified letter from my home. I was working that day, the kids were in school, and the name on the letter doesn't even exists. I am calling an attorney on this now, to counter act this. You have to give me a chance to go to court to fight a wage garnishment for something you are stating I owe. We will see what happens. No current phone numbers, or addresses are active for this company. Scammers to the max.
File a complaint with your state's attorney general - consumer protection agency.
Bad customer service
Midland Credit is a collection agency, apparently. I got hooked up with them recently for an unpaid phone bill, which I honestly didn't know existed. Anyway, these people are very nice when they want to hook you but the pleasant attitude stops there. The website does not reflect payments made on a specific account and ALWAYS reflects the full balance due, even if you've made several payments. Surely you can see me concern on this matter. I called the company and admittedly I was a bit uptight but certainly was not rude or unreasonable. I spoke to a rep named Faune who was, prior to today, very nice to me. Basically she gave me a rather confusing excuse and hung up in my face. Nice, huh?
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
They have ignored the Fla state statute of limitations on debts. They also restart the clock on old debts.
MCM is a BIG SCAM, Be Very Careful when dealing with anything you get in the mail by this place, DO NOT Send this place any INFORMATION, No Checking or Bank Accounts, Do Not Hand This Place NO Social Security Numbers.
THIS Is a SCAM and makes you believe you owe money when you DON'T.
Law Suit
I have never heard of this company before today and then I receive as a registered letter that I have a judgement filed against me for $1946.58 that is in a married name that I have not used in almost 10 years. Puzzled and confused about what possible debt this could be, I see that the supposed court date was back on March 06, 2009. How is it possible that a court date was set and I was not notified? Isnt that against the law. Don't I have the right to face my accusers and defend myself? Even if it is only a debitor? I knew nothing of this until after the fact. I now feel that I need to go to the expense of hiring a lawyer (one not previously needed) and fight this!

wage garnish
I was served with a complaint from Midland Funding LLC. They are going to garnish my wages. Just like everyone else. I had a credit card from Aspire Visa Gold and I still had a balance. I was paying on time they closed my account and I a letter from Midland of what they are going to do. What can I do.

This Alledged Debt
I received a Letter from your company about an alleged debt that is now over seven years old which you can not legally collect. This alleged debt belongs to one Peter Torrelli Jr. The account number is as follows: [protected]
If you try to contact me again on this matter I will be turning it over to an attorney to sue you for trying to collect on an alleged debt of over seven years!

Scam artists
I just won a judgement against these scam artists. They claimed I owed them $1, 300 two months ago. The court gave them two months to come up with the proof that I owed the debt. On 9/24/09, their lawyer tells me that although there was no proof, the debt is now $2, 400! She offered me a plan to pay only $1, 200 in monthly installments. Mind you, this was never my debt to begin with. I gave her the nastiest look, told her if she thought it was fair to pay a debt that I did not owe and if I looked insane to her. To that she answered "maybe it is best that we discontinue this case."
My suggestion to anyone who Midland comes after, DENY, DENY, DENY and then insist that they provide proof. If they claim they are representing a debtor called First Consumers National Bank, this place no longer exists and if they ever had any records, they are no where to be found. Do not give in to their threats. That is what they are trained to do.
The one thing you should not do is ignore any court dates. You need to be present to fight your case and I guarantee you a lawyer is not needed.
Good Luck and please folks, post your experience with these scam artists.

I got a call from these guys and called them back. They kept asking me for my phone number and social security number. Finally I just gave them my name and they found me in their system but said they never called me. Supervisor is Adam Stevens who was very nasty, sounded like he was from the middle east. Midland Credit Management is scam artist who is trying to get you into thinking you owe them a debt so they can rip you off.
Scam
My family is currently experiencing problems with Midland Credit. They are now able to get judgements without the person they are suing even being alerted that there is a court action against them. Everyone needs to start writing their congressmen and senators immediately and demand that Midland Credit be investigated. They also refuse to validate the debt when you follow the proper procedures. They also have attorneys working for them now that claim they found your info at your local courthouse and if you come into the attorneys office he will "help" you reach a settlement with Midland. This is happening alot in Columbus Ohio.

false levy
On June 10, 2009, my account was overdrawn and I did not know what happen, I thought someone stole all my money from my account until I called the bank. I then learn that Pressler & Pressler levy my entire bank account for a debt that we set a payment arrangement on. Right now all the bills that were written on that account are not being paid by the bank...

I tried to fight a court ordered judgment against me from Midland (who represented my Aspire credit card which was originally a Providian card) with tons of documentation showing I already paid a large part of the debt. I had bank statements showing withdrawals, copies of the checks they produce with wireless transactions, etc) - LOST.
So after paying what I "owed", which was the correct amount with whopper interest, the turds are again trying to get a local legal firm to squeeze another $136.00 bucks outta me. Won't happen. I have final orders saying I'm done. Midland is scam.

My husband had a charge account that was paid in full two months before MCM supposedly bought his dept. When he recieved a letter asking for $900 more then what was owed I freaked out on this company. They continuously harrassed us and hung the phone up on me several times. I told them what the original company told me to tell them to do and the guy refused. Finally after four months of letters and phone calls we got a letter today saying that the account is settled in full. This is such a scam because they tried to get more money out of us that was not owed at all. My advise to anyone that needs it is to stay on top of bill collectors because they sell and resell your debts over and over. Keep tract of who you pay!
