Midland Credit Management Inc. has reached a $4.5 million class action lawsuit settlement with consumers who say the debt collection agency illegally recorded phone calls with them. If you received a telephone call from Midland between 2006 and 2011, you may be eligible to receive debt forgiveness or a cash award of up to $1,000 from the class action settlement.
The Midland call recording settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit (Daniel Pepper v. Midland Credit Management Inc.) that alleges Midland monitored and/or recorded telephone calls it made in an effort to collect debt without always giving notification at the beginning of the call that the call may be monitored or recorded.
Midland and the other defendants deny any wrongdoing but have agreed to establish a $4.5 million class action lawsuit settlement fund to pay out Class Members and resolve the litigation.
Class Members of the Midland call recording class action settlement include anyone who received a telephone call from Midland from July 13, 2006 through February 18, 2011 while in California, Florida, Maryland, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania or Washington and was not informed at the beginning of the call that the call may be monitored or recorded
Under the class action lawsuit settlement, Class Members who submit a valid and timely Claim Form and are identified in Midland’s records as owing money to Midland will receive debt forgiveness of up to $1,000 of the money owed.
Midland will also distribute cash from the $4.5 million settlement fund pro-rata to Class Members who do not owe money to Midland, up to a maximum of $1,000 each. The amount of money or debt forgiveness you can receive may be less, depending on how many valid claims are filed.
The only way to receive benefits from the Midland call recording settlement is to submit a valid Claim Form postmarked no later than May 28, 2013.
A Final Fairness Hearing is set for August 23, 2013. Benefits will not be distributed until the settlement is approved and all objections are resolved.
Claim Forms and more information on your rights in the Midland Credit Call Recording Class Action Lawsuit Settlement can be found at www.RecordingClassAction.com.
UPDATE: The two appeals of the Court approved settlement have now been dismissed. Payment of settlement benefits are anticipated to be made no later than the second quarter of 2014, according to the Settlement Administrator, so that means payments should be mailed out any day now!

I received a postcard saying I need to fill out a claim form before April 12, 2016. Thank You
I received a postcard saying I needed to fill out a claim form regarding this matter by April 12,2016.
I have not heard back from them either. What I am thinking of doing now, is contacting Midland. I do not have a balance with them, I was given a $1000.00 credit so that means $1000.00 was applied to my account, so to me that means Midland has to refund the money to me!!! Not going to hurt to try!!
HAY!!!! ALL SMILES . JUST GOT BACK IN TOWN. MY BIG CHECK WAS IN MY MAIL BOX FOR $178, 85
WAS HOPING FOR $1000. BUT I’LL TAKE IT. THANK GOD AND T.C.A.
I did not receive one and just e-mailed them to make sure I am even on this list. I disputed this debt from the beginning. I called Mcm a couple of months ago and they have my dispute letter on file from many years ago. They said the debt is no longer valid and they had no supporting documents for this debt. So, I will see what kind of response I get from the Attorney. It is just annoying to think they are going to get $1000 for something they cannot prove I owe. If I am not going to get anything, I would rather see it go to a charitable organization or something.
The same thing happened to me. They said my debt was no longer in their office but, they gave them the $1000 anyway even though I disputed it. I thought I was going to get a check, that is what I was initially told but, they changed their mind. Oh well, better luck next time.
Have you heard back from them? I also emailed them as I did not receive a check and twice sent proof that I did not have a debt with Midland. I have not heard back from the email I sent.
No, I did not receive an e-mail back yet. I hope they are looking into it. The other times I e-mailed them, it did take about 5 days or so for a reply back. I live in PA and should have got a check by now if they sent one. As soon as I hear something, I will let you know what they said.
For those who are still waiting for their checks after a reasonable waiting period (a week?); Please call the administrators and let them know before it is too late; to get a replacement check sent out.
