Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action

Subissue: Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit

Consumer Complaint: I recently found out that Midland Funding filed a lawsuit against me in Virginia where I do not t live. I was not served to appear in court and I knew nothing about the court dates. I do not live in Virginia. In addition, the debt they are trying to collect is outside of the statute of limitations in North Carolina where I live which is 3 years. I have disputed the information but they ignore my demands for proper handling of my account. I have not been sent any information. This can not be legal.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt is not yours

Consumer Complaint: XXXX reviews my credit report to find a debt for {$570.00} from Midland Credit. It is allegedly through a Company called XXXX XXXX. Not XXXX XXXX but XXXX XXXX. I talked to an agent there today named XXXX to see what I can do to get rid of the account because I am wanting to finance something in the near future and it appears this account is from 2018. I did not verify that I owned this debt at all as I an not liable for it but I do want it taken care of. It was not resolved with that agent and at this time I am Filing a complaint. The company has nothing with verification of my identity however they have somehow collected my address and social. Nothing with my signature signed saying I owe them or the other company. This is a fraud tactic to collect and old debt not owed. I am truly disappointed and furthermore upset after I tried to resolve it but no resolution.
