Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I dispute the debt Midland Credit says I owe. I never received proper documentation showing legitimate ownership of the debt. Given the recent CFPB lawsuit against XXXX XXXX ( more than {$2.00} XXXX in lost interest ), I believe there is a strong basis for my request for full validation. 

My account was originally with XXXX XXXX. After being charged off, it was sold to Midland Credit. Midland Credit is now attempting to collect the balance from me, but when I asked for documentation, they failed to provide sufficient proof. Specifically, I requested a bill of sale, chain of title, original contract, and complete account statements. What they provided was insufficient or vague. 
Without a specific bill of sale naming my account, how can I trust Midland actually owns this debt? 

Without the original contract, I can not verify the terms I agreed to. 

Itemized statements are necessary to understand how the alleged balance was reached there may be errors. 

The CFPBs recent lawsuit against XXXX XXXX ( for misleading account products ) raises additional concerns about how this debt was handled before being sold.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that youhave ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional XXXX  days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end
