Consumer Narrative
RE : Cease and Desist MIDLAND CREDIT MANAG currently has an account listed on my consumer report that is a direct violation of the FDCPA. I am refusing to pay this alleged debt and demand that this company cease and desist with any further negative reporting on my consumer report or they will be sued in the appropriate court venue for damages related to fraudulently trying to collect on a debt that I do not owe. I have never contracted with this company, and I am demanding verification of such alleged debt. Verification is defined as a formal declaration made in the presence of an authorized officer such as a notary public under oath but in the presence of such an officer whereby one swears to the truth of the statements in the document XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I also demand proof that this corporation provides proof that I signed a contract with them. Any further attempt to collect is a federal crime under 18 USC 894 as this company is attempting to collect on an extension credit. Since you will not be able to prove that I owe your company any money, I demand the following account be immediately removed from my consumer report as this information is harming my credit reputation. The account is as follows : XXXX XXXX - MIDLAND CREDIT MANAG within 30 days from receipt of this notice.
