Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2023, I sent Midland Credit Management a letter of debt validation under 15 USC 1692g for an alleged debt of the amount {$610.00}. They keep reporting it each month too as a new collection. I have the receipt where I sent it certified mail green return receipt. They received my letter sent to them on XX/XX/2023. They sent back the green return receipt, but failed to send me a response to prove that the debt belongs to me. They never sent me a model form b1 and parked an account with an alleged debt on my consumer report.

Consumer Complaint: Date : XX/XX/XXXX Midland Credit Managemment, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MI XXXX To Whom It May Concern : I am writing due to the negative marks youve made on my credit file. I would be willing to accept this debt if it were mine and upon Validation and Proof of Claim but its not mine and theres no way that you can validate it. I'm sure you are aware of the provisions of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) so let it be known that I am requesting full validation of this debt. I am requesting proof that I am indeed the party you are asking to pay this debt, and that there is some contractual obligation which is binding on me to pay it. I request that you stop contacting me by telephone and restrict your contact with me to writing only, and only when you can provide adequate validation of this alleged debt. To refresh your memory on what constitutes legal validation, here is a list of the required documentation : Complete payment history, the requirement of which has been established by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Please provide verification by line item ( with an explanation of each item such as when the purchase took place, how much the item was, were the goods received, when were the goods received, etc. ) for the entire amount you say I owe obtained directly from the Original Creditor. Date of Last Activity My full, complete and correct social security number that may help to identify me as the correct person you are trying to collect from. Agreement that bears the signature of the alleged debtor wherein he agreed to pay the original creditor. The obligation between you and I that allows you to collect on the alleged debt and any transactions between your company that binds me to an agreement to pay your company any money that you claim I owe. Proof of photo identification ( i.e., driver 's license, state identification card, or other government issued identification card ) that was presented to you at the time of incurring this debt. Letter of sale or assignment from the original creditor to your company. ( Agreement with your client that grants you the authority to collect on this alleged debt. ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - information relating to the purchase of a bad debt is not proprietary or burdensome. Debtor must phrase their request clearly to obtain : The source of a debt and the amount a bad debt buyer paid for plaintiff 's debt, how the amount sought was calculated, where at issue a list of reports to credit bureaus, and documents conferring authority on defendant to collect debt. Proof that this debt has not been written off as a tax liability. Any other intimate knowledge of the creation of the debt by you, the collection agency. I'm sure you know, under FDCPA Section 809 ( b ), you are not allowed to pursue collection activity until this debt is validated. You should be made aware that in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, the court ruled that reporting a collection account is, indeed, considered collection activity. You should also note that this is not a request for Partial Validation but rather, its a request for EVERYTHING listed here in order to constitute full and sufficient validation of this debt. While I prefer not to litigate, I will use the courts as needed to enforce my rights under the FDCPA and other statutes. I look forward to an uneventful resolution of this matter. Sincerely,

Consumer Complaint: And as far as dates and times this has been going on for years I finally decided to fight back I'll get as close as I can on the dates from XX/XX/XXXX all the way up to XX/XX/XXXX every day they would call even on the weekends then I heard if you use the word stop, then they would stop and it did. Then the letters started coming and I found some in accurate information XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX. I wrote letters to all of them asking them for a detailed account of the information they had I told him they have 30 days to respond. This was sent on XX/XX/XXXX. No response then I got to looking at the dates on what was being reported and found with all three agencies that there's inconsistencies in their dates and Active this is incorrect or this is why I am writing to you. I am familiar with something called 15 USC section 168. I heard that if you can provide proof these cards must be deleted and I want these accounts deleted if they are not 100 % correct please investigate I know you have 30 days to complete an investigation. Can you please remove them
