I received a letter from Midland in 2013, I immediately, ( XXXX XXXX 2013, they received it on XXXX XXXX ) sent them a letter requesting validation on the alleged debt. To this date, I have received any response nor validation to this alleged debt. Instead, I received another letter attempting to collect another debt as the account number of the previous alleged debt do n't match. My name does n't even match, i 've sent them another letter requesting validation again for this alleged debt. This is basically the XXXX bogus attempt from them to collect a debt that I do not owe to them. Also, with this contact they are in clear violation of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act. As i 've never received any response on my previous request for validation, instead I just received another letter attempting to collect. My initial request for validation was timely within the XXXX days timeframe I have to request validation under FDCPA, so ; any further activity to collect on the debt would be a violation of their cease collection bar under FDCPA 809 ( b ). If they are communicating regarding a different collection ( i.e., they consider it to pertain to a different debt ), then that would have required they send another dunning notice within XXXX days after any initial communication. They thus either consider it the same debt, or have violated requirement for a XXXX dunning notice.
