The police department told me to contact the federal trade commission which I wrote a formal complaint against Omega in regards to this matter.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC. (MA)

Complaint:
I pulled a copy of my credit report on XX/XX/2023 to make sure that my credit was in good shape before I applied for a loan and that's when I discover a collection agency by the name of Midland Credit Management has reported a past due account of {$790.00}. 

I have never received any communication from this collection agency stating that I owe them nor was I made aware of my rights to dispute. I contacted the credit bureau on XX/XX/2023 and all XXXX ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) came back with " account verified ''. I also sent a debt validation letter to the collection agency ; to which they sent their first piece of communication to me, on XX/XX/2023, enclosed with what looks like copies of XXXX bills from a creditor. 

This agency is in violation of the FDCPA and I'm demanding that they remove this collection from my credit reports. 

According to U.S Code 15 U.S. Code 1692g, the collection agency was supposed to make attempts to contact me before they reported a collection to my credit report. They did not. I've only found out about the alleged debt, when I requested a copy of my credit report prior to submitting a loan application. 
This agency also failed to provide sufficient validation for this debt. Sending XXXX bills from a creditor does not constitute of complete validation.
