Look @ Midland story.
Because i recived calls about 15 times between the dates and never was told about disputing the debt nor told calls were being recorded none of the time and was told lies by them about debt owed by citi bank
Iam writing because I don t remember oweing a debt I have nothing in writing about oweing any please submit me something how you ll take something from me without my consent and how can a collection agency take something do I need a lawyer
I Micky Ward am disputing owing MCM any debt what so ever. never received any notice of debts owed. I would like my $1,000.oo in my own account and not MCM. for I owe them nothing. also the number 1-888-2381774 when finally gotten through it said that the number had been disconnected.
This is a scam by MCM, these are some bogus debts. I never received a
credit card from Cross Country Bank, seems like everyone is saying the
same thing about a bogus claim from MCM. They will end up in another
class action suit if this keeps happening! I would like my $913.00 for h
calls! I owe MCM no debt!
It does appear to be a scam. After being notified that $1,000 from the class action lawsuit was applied to my “balance” for MCM, I contacted the email on the claim form and told them I have no debt. I provided proof several times, and they keep telling me it’s in review. I indeed think it’s a scam.
