Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Communication tactics — You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
This company did not do what they said that they would do. They have stated that they would honor my request to cease all communications and yet I had found that they are still attempting to communicate with me which completely violates the fair debt collection practices act. Under chapter 41 of title 15, the fair debt collection practices act defines communication as " conveying of information regarding a debt directly or indirectly to any person through any medium ''. Credit reporting is an indirect medium that this company is using to communicate with me and I had thought that this company " Obeyed '' federal and state laws and yet they had over looked the first XXXX subchapters? I have reason to believe that this company is purposely doing this for financial gain. It is clear that they do not care about a consumer 's right to privacy so I do intend to litigate if this matter does not get solved immediately.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
This company really is predatory and abusive, I can hardly believe that they are still up and running. I had submitted a complaint on midland credit on XX/XX/XXXX  in which it mentioned that I wanted them to cease all communication as described in the FDCPA and how I am well informed with my rights as a consumer. Midland Credit Management really believes that consumers are stupid as they responded to my complaint stating that they are able to sue me which is a clear threat of something they can not do which violates the FDCPA, more specifically 15 USC 1692e ( 5 ) as they can not threaten to take legal action. Furthermore, if they were to proceed with litigation they would be in violation of a very clear law under this act, 15 USC 1692i ( b ) which specifically states that a debt collector CAN NOT take legal action against a consumer. Additionally they have stated that they will only cease communicating with me directly which completely undermined my notice and 15 USC 1692a ( 2 ) /15 USC 1692c ( c ). They continued to harass me indirectly by continuing to report this information to consumer reporting agencies which is a violation of 15 USC 1692c because the fair debt collection practices act defines communication as " conveying of information regarding a debt directly or indirectly to any person through any medium ''. Clearly an indirect medium is credit reporting. Of course I screen shot the law that was on the FTC.GOV website and attached it to this complaint. This company also stated that they have the right to collect on this transferred instrument which is completely false as I did NOT endorse the transferred contract. I am prepared to make Midland credit face the fullest extent of the law as they clearly DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR ABUSIVE AND OPPRESSIVE PRACTICES. They have yet to provide me with the entire purchase agreement, not just the bill of sale and my wet ink signature to prove that I endorsed the transferred instrument with midland credit to validate this alleged debt.
