Who is calling from 866-300-8750?
If you have been repeatedly receiving calls from 866-300-8750, it is most likely Midland Credit Management, a third-party debt collection agency, trying to reach you regarding some due debt. You should know your rights and the validity of any claim before proceeding.
Why am I getting called constantly?
You are receiving calls from Midland Credit Management for any one of the following reasons:
- Debt collection of an account that is past due
- Contact information verification or update
- Trying to settle an account on your creditor's behalf
First, before making a response, make sure that the debt is valid and belongs to you, really.
Understanding Midland Credit Management and Your Rights
Midland Credit Management is a third-party debt collector that works for the creditor to recover the outstanding balance. They must operate their business under a federal law entitled the FDCPA. The law was specifically enacted to protect consumers from abusive and unfair collection tactics.
Under the FDCPA, Midland Credit Management may not:
- Misrepresent and deceive by pretending to involve law enforcement or an attorney.
- Misstate the consequences of not paying, such as false threats of lawsuit or wage garnishment.
- Contact you at work, especially if they know your employer prohibits such calls.
- Send letters that are misleading, including notices designed to appear to be court documents when they are not.
- Do not provide updated information: Reporting incorrect information to credit bureaus after the debt has been disputed or settled.
If these or similar violations have occurred, you may have a claim for damages under the FDCPA.
What to Do If You're Receiving Calls from 866-300-8750
If you feel that Midland Credit Management is calling you unnecessarily or that the debt involved is not valid, you can do the following:
- Request Debt Validation: You can request from Midland Credit Management written verification of the debt along with information about the original creditor and the amount owed.
- Document Everything: Record every call; the caller's number, the date, the time, and the content. This may later be used as evidence.
- Dispute the Debt: If you think that you do not owe the debt, a written dispute can be provided within 30 days from the very first contact. If it is your debt, then discuss the payment to get rid of the bad reputation.
- Seek Attorney's Advice: If Midland Credit Management violates your rights, an FDCPA attorney can assist you in filing a case and seeking compensation.
Identifying FDCPA Violations by Midland Credit Management
Debt collectors must operate within narrowly defined boundaries under the FDCPA. Watch for these warning signs:
- Sending False Documents: Notices composed as if official legal documents.
- Failure to Correct Errors: Reports to credit bureaus of information that is known to be incorrect after a dispute has been filed.
- Deceptive Collection Attempts: Impersonating someone else in an attempt to pressure payment.
- Ignoring a Cease-and-Desist Request: Further contact after you've requested they stop contacting you.
- Excessive Contact: More than one phone call per day with the intent to harass or intimidate.
