Midland Credit Management Inc. has agreed to pay $15 million in order to settle accusations that the company violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by using an automatic telephone dialing system to place repeated debt collection calls to cell phones without prior consent.
Plaintiffs Christopher Robinson, Eduardo Tovar, and Dave Scardina filed the MCM class action lawsuit after claiming to receive multiple harassing cell phone calls at all hours of the day from Midland Funding, Midland Credit Management and Encore Capital Group without their prior express consent.
The Midland Credit Management TCPA class action lawsuit alleges that the creditors negligently or willfully violated the TCPA by using an autodialer to place robocalls to their cell phones.
According to the MCM class action lawsuit, at no time did the plaintiffs provide the company or their agents with their cell phone numbers, nor did they consent to any collection calls to be made to their cell phones.
The Midland Credit Management class action lawsuit settlement will use the $15 million in order to forgive Class Members of a portion of their unpaid debts or award Class Members with no debt with a one-time cash payout.
Midland Credit Management denies that they violated the TCPA in any way however, they agreed to the terms of the MCM class action settlement in order to avoid the cost of further litigation.

Potential Award

I just received a check got the whole amount of the debt I paid off … I am happy
I received a check,for 39.21..deposited it.
Bank,returned and,charged me $20 due to,account not found. Check was dated July 5th… I,called Blandina vs Midland to,tell them,no bank account was found. And I was charged an$20 bank,fee..they mailed another check. But didn’t refund my $20 bank,charge. I kept the 2nd,check for reference..I think I,should report this to the FTC…total,fraud to me 2nd check is,exact bank,account from wells Fargo..
According to a consent order filed 9/09/2015 midland funding and its affiliates had over 1.6 MILLION COMPLAINTS PER YEAR…..about all their unfair and illegal practices. HOW IN THE HELL ARE THEY STILL ALLOWED TO DO BUSINESS.??? They stold over 325 million dollars from consumers and only had to pay back a small percentage of the money they stold. Its obvious that all people in high places such as politicians, judges, attorneys, etc. Are getting PAID OFF to keep thid scam alive. SICK……GO GET EM TRUMP…….
If no one got any money not only were they paid to be the administrator BUT added millions to his koffers if anyo e wants to start a class lawsuit against the thief count me m
Still didn’t received a check yet ! Whats the hold up now ?
Carol, if you didn’t get a check 2 months ago you are out of luck. The administrator Kurtzman Carson denied a lot of the valid claims without any notice or explanation. I went back and forth with them about it but it’s not worth arguing over $23. Note however that this does potentially revive any legal action you might be able to take against Midland.
Still waiting for a check
I have not received any check as of today. Is this a scam?
For those who didn’t get a check as expected, it looks like you have a lot of company. You can contact the administrator at 781-575-4228 during standard office hours to find out what went wrong and (hopefully) get a replacement. The 888 number on the settlement web site just leads to endless voicemail prompts.
Did not get a check & even had a claim number. They keep sending collection letters also…
Still haven’t received a check!!
