Consumer Complaint: This correspondence is a notice of default with an opportunity to cure before I file suit depending on your response to this complaint. I have sent you an affidavit along with an invoice for several consumer rights violations under FDCPA for a federally protected consumer. I would like to clear this matter up out if court, if we cant reach an agreement I will file suit and you will be served immediately. I entered a consumer credit transaction using my open ended credit plan meaning, l, the holder of my social security card, a form of a credit card pursuant to 15 USC 1602 definition where I am both the creditor and the seller allowed The creditor to extend me my own credit from my open ended credit plan. I am the originator of all consumer credit transactions better known as the original creditor. I gave my credit to creditor to extend back to me making them a creditor/debtor. I entered a consumer credit transaction. I NEVER gave you or any other debt collector permission to send me a bill/statement through the mails trying to coerce payment and threatening me to report to cras or any other agency if I didn't pay this alleged debt. On record These are all alleged debts that I owe and Pursuant to 18 USC 8 I know All obligations of indebtedness are the obligation of the UNITED STATES. Two the contractual agreement your sending my collection bills/ statements for has already been paid with my open ended credit plan all correspondence from your company is fraudulent. PURSUANT TO 15 USC 1692j ( a ) It is unlawful to design, compile, and furnish any form knowing that such form would be used to create the false belief in a consumer that a person other than the creditor of such consumer is participating in the collection of or in an attempt to collect a debt such consumer allegedly owes such creditor, when in fact such person is not so participating. Third, It is Fact that an affidavit is pivitol in law do to the fact nothing ( in law ) has the power to cancel out override an affidavit except another affidavit which has rebutted the first, point for point. ( Rule 902 ( 1 ) ( A ) a seal purporting to be that of the United States ; any state, district, commonwealth, territory, or insular possession of the United States ; the former Panama Canal Zone ; the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands ; a political subdivision of any of these entities ; or a department, agency, or officer of any entity named above ) Fact, your company has no right under federal law Rule 902 ( 1 ) ( A ) to self authenticate this document. After defaulting on my affidavit This is your opportunity to cure our of court. You will not be able to seek legal action against me. Because no lawyer was present to witness the transaction, if you where to try to seek action the lawyer would in fact be practicing here-say because they where no physical present when the alleged transaction occurred which is illegal. This is for all three affidavits I sent into your company each has an invoice attached if you chose to ignore them you will me meeting me in court.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2020 I started getting letters from Midland Credit Management. Unpon further research, these accounts were transferred/sold and I am no longer responsible for the accounts. Debtor 's creditor did not verify these collections. Also, there was NO written form of communication, contract, or signature for these accused debts at all. A bill without a signature does not validate the debt and anybody can send a bill and say its mines. According to the FCRA Midland Credit Management has violated my rights as a consumer and I'm requesting legal action to remove these account immediately.

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action

Subissue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

Consumer Complaint: My debt with midland financial had already been removed from my credit report after I had disputed the debt with XXXX. Therefore they can not threaten to sue me as the debt had been discharged due to " The balance and/or past due amount being incorrect ''. This judgement was completed on XX/XX/2020 and was subsequently deleted from my credit history. They call me multiple times a day, have called family members of mine, and have threated to sue me if I do not pay, even though I no longer owe money to this company. If they do not stop I will take legal action of my own. They have been sued many times and threaten many other people and it is time this stops now.

Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: A few years ago upon checking my credit report, I noticed a collections account listed by Midland Funding LLC with a " placed for collections '' date of XX/XX/XXXX. At that time my credit score dropped due to the listed collection ( which I deny owing ). Up until XXXX of XXXX my credit score had been at XXXX. At that time, I received notification from XXXX XXXX that my credit score dropped 53 points in one reporting period to XXXX. When I researched the reason for this precipitous drop, it showed that Midland Funding LLC had removed the collections account and reinserted the account as a " new account in collections '' in the same period under Midland Funding ( minus the LLC ), thus causing my credit score to plummet. This has caused my credit to drop below XXXX which will make renting an apartment or obtaining auto financing ( which I will need to do in the next few months ) very difficult. I contend that this is wrong, including the fact that Midland claimed the account in collections back in XXXX only to now reinsert as a " new '' account in collection and only removed the LLC from the listing despite it being the same company. This devious tactic should be reversed immediately as well as the collections account being removed permanently from my record.
