Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was result of identity theft

Consumer Complaint: My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX. In XXXX of XXXX I was a victim of Identity theft. When I applied for my unemployment benefits for the month of XXXX an unknown person had taken my identity, changed my email address and stole my benefits for the month of XXXX. I was unaware of the identity theft until I went to Career Link to apply for employment, and they noticed I had a second email address and a resume with false information that I did not recognize. I notified the PA Unemployment Office immediately. I was told that an investigation will be performed. In XXXX of XXXX, I received a letter from XXXX XXXX stating that I owed {$1100.00} to Midland Credit Management Inc, a collection agency. When I contacted Midland, they told me that they were attempting to collect a debt that was owed to XXXX XXXX Bank. I let them know that I have never owned a credit card from XXXX XXXX Bank. Midland gave me the phone number to call XXXX XXXX Bank. I also received a letter from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX of Pennsylvania stating I have to appear in court on XX/XX/XXXX, at XXXX. in reference to this debt that I never acquired. I was then told to report this to the Federal Trade Commission online and it has led me to this website.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt is not yours

Consumer Complaint: This company MIDLAND FUNDING is trying to collect {$640.00} from me for a bill they claim I owe. I have sent a written demand that they comply with the Fair Dept Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by providing me with a contract or bill with my signature on it as follows : " I am requesting validation, made pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Please note that I am requesting validation ; that is competent evidence bearing my signature, showing that I have ( or ever had ) some contractual obligation to pay you. '' As of this date, they have ignored my requests for debt validation and has provided nothing with my signature on it. They are in violation of the Fair Dept Collection Practices Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act by claiming I owe money and they have no document bearing my signature wherein I allegedly authorized these charges. They are reporting this fraudulent claim to the credit bureaus as a valid debt, yet they are unable to validate the debt.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was paid

Consumer Complaint: In response to MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMENT : This company has obtained my information from XXXX XXXX unlawfully. I did not give them my consent to have access to my information. They received my information from XXXX XXXX XXXX which means they've engaged in aggravated identity theft. XXXX XXXX knowingly transferred, without lawful authority, a means of my identification. Furthermore, I am the original creditor of the account and I do not validate any debt that is allegedly owed. According to the FDCPA only a consumer can validate such debt, which makes their statement of me owing a debt and the debt being valid is very much an invalid statement. Therefore, the alleged debt is NOT valid nor owed by me, the consumer/natural person. They also state that they were advised by credit reporting agencies to furnish such information on my consumer report, which is a violation of the FCRA. This company did not have permissible purpose to furnish anything on my consumer report. They did NOT receive my written instructions to furnish such information on my consumer report and I have never engaged in ANY consumer credit transaction with them, therefore they are violating federal law. I have never had a contract with this company, therefore I am being taken advantage of by MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMENT.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt is not yours

Consumer Complaint: I recently was informed ( after a title search on my property ) that there was some judgement ( I was never aware of ) for Midland Funding. I have never had any sort of relationship with this company. Therefore, I have requested ( with no response ) how they somehow obtained some debt, judgement for me. I did a search online. I see that Midland Funding and Midland Credit Management have partnered to service accounts ; per this website I came across https : //www.midlandfunding.com/. More importantly I came across this site from a law firm which references many violations per the ( FCRA ) Fair Credit Reporting Act, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, etc. I believe these complaints should be taken seriously and investigated. I am another consumer with similar complaints. Perhaps the Attorney General should look into this company. Some of the consumer complaints are serious as it is on borderline of harassment, illegally debiting customers ' accounts, etc. I want to know how this Midland Funding obtained some ( so called debt ) and judgment for me. I would like an explanation of an itemized transaction history, previous charged off accounts, creditors, payoffs. Midland Funding more than likely obtained a charged off debt from another creditor. I want to know who the original creditor is. I feel more comfortable paying that ( original creditor ) I owe debt to directly, since I might have had a prior relationship with them. I don't have an account number, only a document which provides Court judgement info. I will request a court/judge demand the information I am requesting if it isn't received. Also, a judge to vacate judgement for lack of service. I never received any notification from Midland Funding. XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: I was recently informed that this ( Midland Funding ) somehow obtained a judgement against me. I was completely unaware of this judgement which was from over 10 years ago. I am curious to know where they got this debt from. I have requested a transaction history, itemized details of the so-called debt ( all the way to the original creditor ) Also I want to know what previous creditor charged off this deb, payoff information. I reached out to the ( Fair Credit Reporting Act in reference to this matter. I am considering contacting the court ( after the Holidays ) to file a motion to vacate the judgement, since the court has no proof of service. I never received this debt. I came across this article which shows illegal practices with this company, such as robo-signing and other illegal activities. Perhaps this company needs to be investigated. I am still waiting for proof of this debt. I want to know where the judgment originated from. Perhaps the news investigative department can investigate matters such as this. It would be good to see the news go into their office so everyone can see their illegal practices in person. I take this very seriously because I was not aware of this judgment until now 11 years later. I am attaching the document which was provided from a search that was done on the property. I wonder if other consumers are having similar issues such as mine. This is why I thought perhaps the district attorney, congressional leaders, consumer protection bureau, XXXX XXXX XXXX could possibly investigate, look into this situation.
