Consumer Complaint: I have repeatedly asked this company, under federal law and my legal rights, to show me proof the accounts with this company are mine and they have failed my requests. I feel this was opened by my ex-wife and is not my responsibility. I do not feel they can damage my credit, reputation, or wrongfully threaten legal action without proof this is mine. I am prepared to fight this in court and will hold this company accountable for fraud

Consumer Complaint: A agency by the name of Midland Credit Management Inc sent a unknown male individual to my home at night to serve papers. At the time, I am new to the state of Arizona and don't know anybody well enough for them to come to my home at night. I moved away from my previous state due to make stalking and XXXX XXXX by unknown males. This carrier for Midland Credit would not speak clearly so I could understand him no matter how many times I asked. He then forceful say that he have pictures of me. I was shocked! He then proceeded to demand that I show him my ID as he launches for entry to my home. My daughter and minor son was behind the door as I immediately closes my door before he entered. We were in disbelief of the events that just happened. We did not know what provoked this violent event. When I walked my son out the next morning for school I saw a packet of court documents and couldn't imaged all this happened in a very scarry attempt to serve me. I now feel unsafe in my new home. I thought I escaped aggressive men in my old state. I have several police reports of past trauma caused by unknown men that attack my home at night. Please help. I felt safe in Arizona until this happened. I filed a complaint with the attorney general of Arizona concerning this matter. I plan to contact law enforcement and file a report now that I know my rights as a woman. This should not happen to vulnerable women and their families. I now have to install a security system due to this violation against my family and I. Thank you for your help with this matter.

Consumer Complaint: I was contacted by Midland credit and allowed my Financial advisor to take power of attorney to speak with midland credit mgmt. My advisor told me to pay them and I did. During this time I paid the debt in full as it was a debt they bought from XXXX XXXX. I was then told by my financial advisor the debt has been paid and it was not on my credit report. So I caught it in time. Then two weeks after paying the debt the collections from the collection agency has shown up and reduced my score and showed a balance. This was not there prior and I have proof of this. We asked during the payoff and info on how to pay if they will delete this collection if it has hit my credit report and my financial adviser told me he spoke with a nice lady that said she would accommodate that. Later we called and asked for the deletion letter and was told after waiting on hold and with someone in customer service that they would do it in 2 years. This was not something I would agree to. And the collection was bought back in XX/XX/2021 for a debt that was only six months old. I paid it promptly and I paid all the collection fees as well and interest in full. I feel like I have not only been denied credit trying to refinance my house and buying more property but it also hurt my credit beyond repair. My credit prior to this was over XXXX.

Consumer Complaint: This is a follow up response to CFPB complaint XXXX ( response from XXXX & XXXX ). I believe you all need to investigate any illegal attempts for these law firms and financial institutions illegally charging fees, obtaining charged off accounts. I am familiar with the ( Fair Credit Reporting Act ). Midland Funding is not the original creditor of whatever debt this is. I have no prior relationship with them. Therefore, I have requested a complete transaction history, previous payoffs, charge offs from prior creditors that might have had this debt. I have requested this information a few times. I have not received anything from the Midland Funding or their attorney 's. This leads me to become a bit suspicious of their activities. They should have this information. I want to see what the original balance was prior to them obtaining this debt they state is mine. I want to see if they've illegally charged fees on a charged off account. Per an attorney who gave me free legal advice they are supposed to provide the requested this information. Also, he stated they are not supposed to charged additional fees once an account has been charged off. Therefore, I would like to see/know if there were any illegal steps taken in obtaining this debt. I still don't know what the debt is for because I don't know who the original creditor is. Also, I am considering filing a complaint with whoever oversees the CFPB I see that there are several options to filing a complaint such as CFPB Ombudsman, Office of Inspector General, Counsel of Inspectors General on Integrity and efficiency and Council of Inspectors General on Financial Oversight.
