Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: FL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021, Midland Credit Management served me with a notice to appear to a pre-trial conference/mediation, alleging I owed them {$3300.00} on a credit card debt originally issued by XXXX XXXX , which they had purchased. This was the first time I heard of that alleged debt. I called their lawyer up and ask for details. The lawyer asked if I knew of an address in Kentucky, which was totally unknown to me. Upon a quick investigation with the vendor, it appeared I was victim of identity theft. I filed a report, appeared at the pre-trial conference, and submitted a Counterclaim in the Small Claims Court. The derogatory report submitted by Midland to the various CRAs resulted in StudentAid declining me a {$30000.00} Parent Plus Student Loan for my son who is in Senior year in College, and for his landlord declining me as a guarantor for his lease. My son was in mental health therapy at the time and this additional stress clearly aggravated his condition. I asked for {$8000.00} on damages.

A couple of days after the conference, Midland asked the Court to dismiss their claim, and filed a Motion to Dismiss my Counterclaim, arguing that " Courts have consistently concluded that the FCRA does not provide a private cause of action for violations of Section 1681s-2 ( a ). See 15 U.S.C. 1682s-2 ( d ) : Longman, 702 F.3d at 151 ( " [ T ] he statute plainly restricts enforcement of [ 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) to federal and state authorities. " ), '' and concluding " Even assuming all of the allegations were true and taken in the light most favorable to the Defendant, the Counterclaim would still fail to state any claim upon which relief may be granted under the FCRA. '' I was served with the Motion to Dismiss on XX/XX/2021. 

I have not heard from the Court yet, and I would like to know if indeed Midland 's assertion that I have no cause of action is correct. If it is, please let me know how best handle this matter in order to obtain proper redress. Thank you.
