On -/-/-, Midland Funding LLC filed a collections complaint against me. In -/-/-, the case was closed without being heard, and I assumed nothing more would come of it. Late -, I received a letter from their local representative, - - -, -, dated -/-/-. It contained a verification of debt I had not requested, as well as a request to contact the firm to discuss the matter. I did not, and - of the attorneys contacted me. I pointed out that you ca n't squeeze blood from a turnip '' - I am on Supplemental Security Income - and I heard nothing more. Today, my phone listed a California number among the missed calls ; a quick lookup places it in the right area for Midland Credit Management, which Midland Funding , LLC is a subsidiary of. This is not the first time they have contacted me using untraceable burn phones, and, at this point, I would be more than happy to set up a way to record future calls to provide evidence that it is Midland. While it is n't harassment, per se, closing a case and then starting in on me out of the blue, and doing so in a way that theoretically can not be traced, does not encapsulate any sort of ethical collections practice. ( As an aside, I strongly suggest that a separate and thorough investigation be opened against Midland Credit Management and all its subsidiaries ; does a company that directs its employees to use burn phones seem like a company operating on the level? )
