Midland Credit Management Inc. Fraudulent attempts at collecting a non-existenet debt San Diego California
We have started to get threatening debt collection letters and bills from MCM/Midland Funding LLC.
We have never had a credit card with the company they list.
The name on the account doesn't exist (they are using a weird variation of one of our names).
We have never owed anything to the company they have listed.
We are going to file a complaint with the Wisconsin DOJ as soon as they open on Monday.

Identity Theft -- Got my credit reports in hand!
#13Author of original report
Wed, March 28, 2007
As a matter of fact, I just got my annual copies of my credit reports from the three major bureaus (three for me, three for my husband). I looked them over thoroughly, and there was nothing anywhere that indicated a misuse of these accounts or any attempt at identity theft.
But THANK YOU for making that point here. Other people being scammed by these MCM whack-jobs might have similar problems.

Identity theft?

I read your comments, and thought maybe there may be some mistake about the Texaco account, but then you said you started to receive collection requests on other accounts.
Have you checked with the credit bureaus to see if maybe somebody isn't making accounts using your information. It may be nothing, but you could also be the victim of identity theft. That may be why you are getting these letters.

Complaint filed with WI Dept. of Financial Inst. against MCM
#13Author of original report
Wed, March 28, 2007
Because of the good information I found on this site, I contacted the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions the same day I wrote my letter to MCM. I talked to the people who handle fraudulent debt collection attempts, and they were extremely helpful. I then filed a formal complaint against Midland Credit Management /dba/ Midland Funding LLC /dba/ MCM. The complaint form is available online at their site -- WDFI.org .
In the meantime, MCM has escalated their attempts at getting money out of me. WIthin days of my posting my original report here, we received FOUR more collection letters from MCM -- each to a different name variation, each claiming a debt to a different company, each for a different amount and account. I have also gotten several phone calls from them, but I have not stayed on the phone long enough to hear their spiel.
So I called WDFI back, and they told me that they had aleady sent a letter to Midland, and that it was not necessary for me to answer each of the debt collection attempts on my own anymore. The person I spoke to said that they expect this to be over within four weeks, but to keep copies of anything that Midland Credit sent to me.
When I receive my copy of WDFI's letter to MCM, I will post it here.

I am also in Wisconsin and you need to file a complaint with the state financial affairs division there in Madison. They are the ones that handle the credit card, collection agencies, etc in our state. You can done this all via the web.

Re: MCM Account No. XXXXX March 20, 2007
To Whom It May Concern:
I received a letter from your firm offering a settlement opportunity and claiming that at one time I owed a debt to Texaco, account number XXXXX, and that you are now servicing the above-referenced account.
Neither my husband nor I have ever owned a Texaco credit card. Neither my husband nor I have ever owed Texaco any money. The named person that you are claiming owes this debt has never existed.
Cease and desist your attempts at collecting this non-existent debt immediately. If I find that you (or any of your affiliated offices) have reported this false information to any of the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian or TransUnion) your action might constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. If any negative information initiated or reported by your company is found on any of my credit reports, I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you.
You are not to contact me or my husband again by telephone, mail, email or any other means.
Signed,
me
