midland credit management; midland funding harassment and 3rd party disclosure of debt. st. cloud, Minnesota

Keep in mind. MCM bought the debt.  You are under no obligation to pay it.  You do not have any contract that states, you owe them the money!

They will need to produce a contract when asked in court!

By the way.....NESARA was signed back in 2000, by the President Clinton!

ALL LOANS ARE FRAUD! -Branch Manger

NO CONTRACT NO CONSENT!  Yeah sure they may be calling you.  Use a call blocker!

NO this is not inaccurate advice.  If you send a cease and desist, you still have the collection on your credit report.  By only sending a cease and desist, you still have the problem of the debt. Saying that someone harrassed you and is being rude on the phone is one thing.  Proving this in a court of law is another.  There is nothing in the FDCPA that states there is a maximum number of calls per day that can be made.  .  However I'm not trying to get into a pissing contest.  This is one of many methods to stop debt collectors from calling you.  Again, claiming something and proving it in a court of law are two very different things.  This will only last for however long they want to hold onto the account.  Then you go through the same process with another agency.  If you make them prove the debt and they can't, the problem is resolved permanantly.  Thats what my advice is trying to do.  

On a side note, they are all going to be harrassing to an extent.  If you don't have this removed all your credit report, it will cost you more than you will ever get back in damages.  I know this first hand, since 5 months ago I had them on my credit report.  The bank offered me 18 % with a 20 % down payment.  After I got it removed, I just purchased a new honda pilot at 1.9 %.  

That was the main point I was trying to get across.  In the debt validation letter, it should state to cease and desist all phone contact and all corrospondence should be by mail only.  Hope this clears things up.   

The issue here is not validity of debt. It is an issue of harrassment. The OP just needs to send a "CEASE COMMUNICATION" request, as per the provisions of the FDCPA.

Federal law allows anyone to demand that any third party debt collector cease communications.Failure of the debt collector to comply with this legal demand, can result in a payday for the victim.

This letter should be sent via CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECIEPT REQUESTED.Be sure to put the certified# in the body of the letter itself, and keep a copy of the letter for your records.

Now, wait 30 days from the date the little green card was signed.If they contact you after that date, file a lawsuit for the FDCPA violation. You can get up to $1000 in statutory damages, plus actual damages and court costs.

Harrassment is illegal.

You should also file complaints of each separate incident of illegal and unethical contact by a debt collctor to ftc.com as they archive those complaints for future class action support for any AG office or other agency that needs them.

Stop these fools, or make them pay. 

I have first hand experience dealing with these people.  The first thing you need to do is write a debt validation letter, multiple examples can be found on the net.  This will stop the phone calls.  Don't be fooled by there " we don't understand what information you are trying to obtain" letter they send in response. 

By law, they have thirty days to respond to your request for validation.  This needs to include original documents.  They did not respond, I knew the amount they were pursuing was not valid.  After the thirty day window, about two weeks, I filed claims with the three major credit bureaus.  To my utter surprise, the collection on my credit report had already been deleted.  If they can validate the debt, then by all means you should pay.  But the validation letter should stop the harrassing phone calls.  

These laws apply to all debt collection agencies.  I have removed many from my credit reports.  It takes hard work and research, but you can do it.  Good luck and I hope this helps.
