I am dealing with the same issue. Midland is trying to collect on an old account from 1991. They have "redated" the debt, claiming it is from 2001 to extend the statute. I have repeatedly requested that they validate their claim but I always receive a request for payment in return. Please make sure you file a complaint with the BBB and the Federal Trade Commission. Midland is a member of the BBB so they will most likely respond to them, usually within 2 weeks. Good luck getting this cleared off your credit! I've been trying to dispute my account for 3 months now. Hopefully they will be put out of business for fradulant business practices.
