Date Received: 2023-01-25

Issue: Communication tactics

Subissue: You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying

Consumer Complaint: Calls are from Midland Credit XXXX. MANY MANY different phone numbers over the course of 10 years, most of which I have blocked, in the past I have advised them many times the debt is not owed and has timed out in all cases and they need to stop calling but they continue to call. After repeated calls from me asking them to stop they have blocked incoming calls from my number and now I am not able to call back or speak to them if I wanted to ( it hangs up immediately or rings forever if I call them at any of their numbers which is why I know all these numbers are theirs ). If I answer the phone when a call is received no reply and the call drops. Almost all their calls are after XXXX and the debt they want to collect is not owed, already cleared from my credit report, over XXXX XXXX XXXX, and they have been advised not to contact this number any longer. Basically, I can check almost all the boxes on this questionnaire in relation to this company that has been hounding me for 10 years.
