Complaint Review: Midland Funding

Well,this group of scumbags have tried to pull the same scam on me.I received a summons to appear in a court mediation hearing regarding a debt they claimed was never paid.Thanks to the Rip Off Report,I was able to find their telephone number.I called,and when someone finally answered,instead of "hello" he said "Attorney." After a few of minutes of talking,he said they were going to "get me." I asked him if he was threatening me,he then pretended there was something wrong with his phone,end of conversation.

I immediately called our State Attorney's Office and filed a complaint.I also filed a complaint with FTC.
This comapny buys bad debt portfolios at Wal Mart prices and attempts to collect on these debts using scare tactics.Then they find some group of half assed attorneys who are supposed follow through with the debt collection.

There is much more to this sad story,but my advice to anyone who is being threatened by this group of thugs is not to play nice with them.The only way to get these creeps off your back is to nail them hard and fast.
They are a boiler group operation,and are hard to track down.But even rats need to come out sometime.Don't agree to anything they want,demand proof of the debt...they are the worst of worst And finally don't panic,they work on commission !
