They have asserted telephonically that they can double the size of the debt when they choose to sue

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt is not yours

Consumer Complaint: Midland Credit Management , LLC has been harassing me with a fraudulent debt collection since XXXX of XXXX. And since that time up until now they have not complied with my request for verification bearing my signature. They have threatened me with court and I have also notices that on the letter head of every document that they have since mailed to me, the date is always inaccurate in order to make it seem as though they have responded earlier than the required time of 30 days to respond. I have already contacted the federal trade commission. CFPB, I implore that you help me with this fraudulent company and their erroneous claims, for they are in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. On XX/XX/XXXX the CFPB released its Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Annual Report and it stated the following : The Bureau notes that one or more debt collectors continued collection activity despite not properly obtaining and mailing debt verification after a consumer exercised his or her 1692g rights. Specifically, the Bureau calls out the practice where debt collectors forwarded consumer debt validation requests to the relevant clients, who mailed responses directly to the consumers. Section 809 ( b ) of the FDCPA requires a debt collector, upon receipt of a written debt validation request from a consumer, to cease collection of the debt until IT ( meaning the collection agency ) obtains verification of the debt and mails it to the consumer. Examinations found that one or more debt collectors routinely failed to mail debt verifications before engaging in further collections activities. Instead, one or more debt collectors forwarded consumer debt validation requests to the relevant clients, who mailed responses directly to consumers and the debt collectors then continued collection activities on accounts in violation of section 809 ( b ) of the FDCPA.
