Credit”) received July 5, 2017. Midland
Credit is the servicer of the above-referenced account on behalf of the current
owner, Midland Funding, LLC. Midland Credit
appreciates the opportunity to answer your questions
A review of Midland

attorneyMidland Credit has no record of her attorney’s contact information
and request that she provide her attorney’s information, if applicable, so that
we may contact him/her directlyIf Midland Credit does not receive attorney
information in the next days, it will assume that *** *** is not
or is no longer working with legal counsel and will mark her account
accordingly
*** *** expresses
a concern that she has requested proper validation from Midland Credit several
times, but has only received account statements rather than a document
containing her signature. A review of
Midland Credit’s business records indicates that a copy of the verification
information provided by the seller was mailed to *** *** on or about
September 27, 2013, on March 22, 2017, and again on June 29, 2017, in response
to her initial complaint filed through your office.
A copy of that
documentation is once again enclosed for *** *** records. Please note that the verification information
provided by the seller meets the requirements of the Fair Debt Collection
Practices Act (“FDCPA”) FDCPA. The
original contract, complete payment history, and a full set of billing
statements are not required under the FDCPA. A review of Midland Credit’s business records
indicates that the account information it is furnishing to the three major
credit reporting agencies is accurate.
Per Mrs
*** previous request to no longer contact her by phone, the
above-referenced account will remain marked “Direct Mail Only.” While it remains due and owing, Mrs
*** will continue to not receive phone calls from Midland Credit
representatives and all correspondence will be sent via the United States

Dear Ms***:
Thank you for your letter inquiry regarding Ms***’s complaint, which Midland Credit Management, Inc(“Midland Credit”) received February 8, 2017.
Midland Credit provided all of the account identifying information in its previous letter response to your office dated February 6, 2017.
In her follinquiry, Ms*** continues to request signed documentation and mentions that the front page of a statement is not sufficient to validate the debtAs indicated in Midland Credit’s previous response, the verification information provided by the seller meets the requirements of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”). The original contract, complete payment history, and a full set of billing statements are not required under the FDCPAPlease note that Midland Credit included thirty pages of billing statements with its previous responseThat same documentation is again enclosed for Ms***’s records
Ms*** requests proof that she has a contractual obligation to pay Midland Credit and would like the account returned to the original creditor so it can be properly disputedConsumers are sometimes unclear as to what the term “charge off” means for a debt. When a creditor "charges off" an account, it means that the creditor no longer believes the consumer will pay the bill and has written the debt off of its books. Often, they then sell the debt. Please note that the underlying promissory obligation remains valid, due and owing. Just as the original creditor had the right to legally seek repayment of the promissory obligation, the new third-party purchaser, Midland Funding, has the right to repayment of the credit account. The above-referenced account remains collectible, due and owing to Midland Credit as servicer for Midland FundingPer her request, a copy of the Bill of Sale and Chain of Title are enclosed as proof that Midland Credit is the rightful owner of the account and purchased the account from the seller with all rights
Midland Credit stands by its previous response with regard to the information it is furnishing to the credit reporting agenciesMidland Credit maintains that it is furnishing accurate information to the three major credit reporting agencies
If Ms*** is ready to resolve the above-referenced debt, she may qualify for a reduction in her account balance. Please have Ms*** call Account Manager *** *** at (800) 825-*** *** *** to assist her in reaching a resolution of the account balance
Per Ms***’s previous request, the above-referenced account will remain marked “Direct Mail Only.” While it remains due and owing, Ms*** will continue to not receive phone calls from Midland Credit representatives and all correspondence will be sent via the United States Postal Service
Midland Credit considers consumer complaints a serious matter and fully respects consumers’ rights. Midland Credit apologizes for the inconvenience caused to Ms***
Thank you again for your assistance in this matter. Please contact Midland Credit’s Consumer Support Services team at (800) 825-ext*** should you have any further questions

Dear *** ***
Midland Credit provided all of the account identifying information in its previous letter response to your office dated October 13, 2015. In regards to *** *** concern that Midland Credit was in fact in receipt of his threat to sue letter, and upon review of the certified return receipts *** *** has now included, Midland Credit was able to further investigate and locate the letter in question. The letter was received September 30, 2015; however, it was inadvertently sent to the wrong department for processing. Midland Credit apologizes for any confusion regarding the matter
*** *** continues to reiterate that he paid the account in full with the understanding that he could have it removed from his credit report. Again, Midland Credit stands firm in its previous responses that *** *** *** *** *** appropriately and correctly advised *** *** of how the account would be reported to Midland Credit once paid. A review of Midland Credit’s business records indicates that the account information it is furnishing to the three major credit reporting agencies remains accurate

Dear Revdex.com:
Thank you for your letter inquiry regarding Ms
***’s complaint, which Midland *** Management, Inc(“Midland
***”) received August 21, 2017. Midland *** is the servicer of the
above-referenced account on behalf of the current owner, Midland Funding, LLC
(“Midland Funding”). Midland ***
appreciates the opportunity to answer your questions
Ms*** expresses a
concern that Midland *** is reporting an account with a balance of $
on her *** report in attempt to recycle an old debt for which she is not
responsible. Ms*** requests to have
the debt deleted from the *** bureaus
Consumers are sometimes unclear as to what the
term “charge off” means for a debt. When
a ***or "charges off" an account, it means that the ***or no
longer believes the consumer will pay the bill and has written the debt off of
its books. Often, they then sell the
debt. Please note that the underlying
promissory obligation remains valid, due and owing. Just as the original ***or had the right
to legally seek repayment of the promissory obligation, the new third-party
purchaser has the right to repayment of the *** account. The above-referenced account remains
collectible, due and owing to Midland *** as servicer for Midland Funding
On October 16, 2013, Midland *** mailed Ms
*** a validation letter. Please note
that the letter was mailed to Ms*** via the United States Postal
Service. The letter was not returned as
“undeliverable,” satisfying the notification requirements of the Fair Debt
Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”). In
that letter, Midland *** provided the required disclosure of rights set forth
in the FDCPA. Midland ***’s business
records indicate that it did not receive any correspondence disputing the debt
or requesting validation from Ms*** in response to the letter.
A review of Midland ***’s business records
indicates that it received the first correspondence requesting validation from
Ms*** on February 4, 2014. In
response to Ms***’s, Midland *** mailed her a copy of the verification
information provided by the seller on or about February 6, 2014. Midland *** received a dispute from Ms
*** via email on November 9, 2016, to which it responded by again mailing her
a copy of the verification documentation on November 16, 2016, along with a
letter requesting more information about her dispute. Additionally, Midland *** received a
notice of dispute from the *** reporting agencies on June 29, 2017, and in
response, again mailed her the verification documentation from the seller with
a letter requesting more information regarding her claim on July 21, 2017.
Although verification information provided by
the seller was mailed to Ms*** in response to her disputes at those times,
a copy of that documentation is again enclosed for her records. Please note that the verification information
provided by the seller meets the requirements of the FDCPA. The original contract, complete payment
history, and a full set of billing statements are not required under the
FDCPA. A review of Midland ***’s business
records indicates that the account information it is furnishing to the three
major *** reporting agencies is accurate
Per Ms***’s previous request, the
above-referenced account will remain marked “Cease and Desist.” While it remains due and owing, Ms***
will continue to not receive correspondence or calls from Midland ***
representatives unless a response is required by law
Midland *** considers consumer complaints a
serious matter and fully respects consumers’ rights. Midland *** apologizes for the
inconvenience caused to Ms***

Revdex.com:I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID *** and it does not resolve my complaint.
Below (and the attached PDF) is my response:
*** *** *** *** *** *** ** ***May 4, 2016Via E-MailMidland Credit Management, IncNorthside Drive, Suite 300San Diego, CA 92108RE: Revdex.com Complaint ID: *** Tax Year 1099-Misc DisputeTo Whom It May Concern:I am in receipt of your response in regards to my complaint with the Revdex.comYour response does not resolve my complaintI still have concerns regarding the 1099-Misc issue.I had received a 1099-Misc from Midland for $9,and that is what was reflected on my Transcript from the IRS for tax year.The amount I received as a result of legal claims against Midland was $5,000, not the $9,reflected in the 1099-Misc I had receivedI then sent letters and emails to Midland regarding the 1099-Misc being incorrect. Midland contacted the attorney that represented me on my legal claims against Midland, of which he informed me and forwarded to me a "Corrected" 1099-Misc in my name in the amount of $4,that Midland had sent to him, of which wasn't sent to me directly from MidlandThere was no explanation nor documentation as to what was corrected on the 1099-Misc.So, this caused confusionWas the "Corrected" 1099-Misc corrected to reflect $4,instead of $9,000? Even though I didn't receive this "Corrected" 1099-Misc (other than it being forwarded to me from attorney), the "corrected" amount of $4,did not make sense either since I received $5,Or, is the $4,1099-Misc in addition to the $9,1099-Misc? What exactly has been "Corrected" on the most recent "Corrected" 1099-Misc for $4,that Midland sent to my previous attorney but didn't send to me? Why has Midland not sent me the "Corrected" 1099-Misc directly?The reason for my dispute to begin with was the fact that I had received $5,and the 1099-Misc and the transcript from the IRS reflected $9,000, which did not make sense. Now, because of my bringing the matter of the incorrect 1099-Misc to Midland's attention, without any acknowledgement or response to my dispute, Midland contacted my previous attorney and sent him a "Corrected" 1099-Misc in my name for $4,000, but have not sent this "Corrected" 1099-Misc to me.So, according to your most recent correspondence, it seems that this "Corrected" 1099-Misc for $4,is in addition to the $9,1099-Misc that I was disputing to begin with. If that is the case, I still dispute the amount(s) of the 1099-Misc(s)The amount of the 1099-Misc should not be $9,000, nor $4,000, and certainly not $13,The amount I received was $5,and that is what the 1099-Misc(s) should reflect. If the $4,1099-Misc is in addition to the $9,1099-Misc that I was disputing to begin with, where did it suddenly come from when I was already disputing the $9,amount? This additional $4,1099-Misc (if that's the case) was not included in my transcript from the IRSIs that the "internal error" you mentioned?My agreement with Midland specifies the amount being issued to me and the amount being issued directly to my attorneyI did not receive the entire $13,amount and then pay attorney fees; therefore, I did not have $13,of Misc income.If indeed the 1099-Misc(s) (including the "corrected" one) are issued to me for a total of $13,000, when I was initially disputing $9,because the amount I actually received was $5,000, I will continue to dispute itI disagree with a 1099-Misc reflecting any other amount than the $5,that I actually receivedI am unable and unwilling to claim any other amount than what I actually received and that amount is $5,000.So, please correct this issue.Regards,*** ***cc: *** *** *** ***, Revdex.com

Dear Revdex.com:
Thank you for your letter inquiry regarding Ms*** complaint, which Midland Credit Management, Inc(“Midland Credit”) received October 30, 2017. Midland Credit is the servicer of the above-referenced account on behalf of the current owner, Midland Funding, LLC (“Midland Funding”). Midland Credit appreciates the opportunity to answer your questions
Ms*** states that she found the account on her credit report, but was never notified of the account. On November 25, 2015, Midland Credit mailed Ms*** a validation letter. Please note that the letter was mailed to Ms*** at the same address listed in her complaint via the United States Postal Service. The letter was not returned as “undeliverable,” satisfying the notification requirements of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”). In that letter, Midland Credit provided the required disclosure of rights set forth in the FDCPA
A review of Midland Credit’s business records indicates that Ms*** responded to the November 25, letter, and indicated that the account was not hers. In response, Midland Credit mailed Ms*** the verification information provided by the seller on February 26, 2016. In response to subsequent disputes, Midland Credit requested that Ms*** provide any additional information in support of her dispute. Midland Credit has not received such information to date
An additional copy of the verification information provided by the seller is enclosed for Ms*** records. Please note that the verification information provided by the seller meets the requirements of the FDCPA. The original contract, complete payment history, and a full set of billing statements are not required under the FDCPAA review of Midland Credit’s business records indicates that the account information it is furnishing to the three major credit reporting agencies is accurate
Ms*** goes on to write that she has never had an account with Midland Funding. Consumers are sometimes unclear as to what the term “charge off” means for a debt. When a creditor "charges off" an account, it means that the creditor no longer believes the consumer will pay the bill and has written the debt off of its books. Often, they then sell the debt. Please note that the underlying promissory obligation remains valid, due and owing. Just as the original creditor had the right to legally seek repayment of the promissory obligation, the new third-party purchaser has the right to repayment of the credit account. The above-referenced account remains collectible, due and owing to Midland Credit as servicer for Midland Funding
Ms*** also writes that she did not open the account with the original creditor. Midland Credit stands ready to assist Ms*** in clearing her record if she has been a victim of identity theft or fraud. If such is in fact the case, Midland Credit respectfully requests that Ms*** provide it with a copy of either a police report or affidavit of fraud showing that she reported the fraudulent activity. Please note that an affidavit of fraud can be obtained by submitting a report through the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) online at www.identitytheft.gov. After submitting it to the FTC directly, Ms*** can then provide a copy of the affidavit to Midland Credit.
Ms*** requested a copy of Midland Funding’s business license to prove that they are a legal entity. Please assure Ms*** that Midland Funding and Midland Credit are licensed in every state which requires such licensing. Please have Ms*** contact the her local state agency for more information regarding licensing requirements
With that said, the above-referenced account will remain marked “Cease and Desist.” While it remains due and owing, Ms*** will continue to not receive correspondence or calls from Midland Credit representatives unless a response is required by law
Midland Credit considers consumer complaints a serious matter and fully respects consumers’ rights. Midland Credit apologizes for the inconvenience caused to Ms***

The letter referred as validating was only a letter originating from Midland Funding LLC simply stating they had acquired a debtMy dispute is that they had not provided me with actual documentation as required yet they referred to such documents in a response to the dispute which states "after reviewing the records and account notes"Again, I cannot stress enough the fact that other than a letter, claiming they acquired a debt, I had not received any factual documentation showing account activityAnyone can generate a letter claiming they acquired a debtThe fact they had not provided those documents in February means they should have removed their claim in I have a copy of the letter I sent to Midland in February 2013.

Ms*** also expresses a concern that she has never done business with Midland Funding and that she is not liable for this debt from the above-referenced account. On August 8, 2014, Midland Credit mailed Ms*** a validation letter. Please note that the letter was mailed to Ms*** via the United States Postal Service. The letter was not returned as “undeliverable,” satisfying the notification requirements of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”). In that letter, Midland Credit provided the required disclosure of rights set forth in the FDCPA.
A review of Midland Credit’s business records indicates that it received a notice of dispute from the credit reporting agencies on May 6, 2016. Although verification information provided by the seller was mailed to Ms*** in response to her dispute on May 25, 2016, a copy of that documentation is again enclosed for her records. Please note that the verification information provided by the seller meets the requirements of the FDCPA. The original contract, complete payment history, and a full set of billing statements are not required under the FDCPA. Additionally, Midland Credit’s business records indicates that the account information it is furnishing to the three major credit reporting agencies is accurate
If Ms*** is ready to resolve the above-referenced debt, she may qualify for a reduction in her account balance. Please have Ms*** call Account Manager *** *** at (800) 825-ext*** to assist her in reaching a resolution of the account balance
