Your service was impeccable for the online chat. I had issues with my debit card being cancelled due to hacking and did know how to get my plan back track with the new card. Your chat rep Darrin was very kind and patient with me and walked me through everything. He even stayed on until I got my new card and payment put through.

I had a scheduled payment coming up and I had to change it because I had been sick, and I couldn't work and wouldn't be able to make the payment. I contacted Midland and Charles was the one who looked into my situation, and he was able to help. He lifted a weight from my shoulders for sure and I am grateful for that.

They kept trying to get more and more money after my account was already paid off!!!! They were working with Freedom debt relief on a settlement then and then doubled dipped to into my income tax refund and took all of it, so reported it to Freedom debt relief and they told me they weren't supposed to do that so freedom stopped settlement with them because they got what I owed in income tax money and some. A year later I just received a garnishment notice from these people who I know my account is paid off with still trying to collect more money that is not theirs because they have been paid and my account was closed!!!! Scamming money hungry thieves.

I wish I could give them no stars. This company had my wages garnished for a card I had back in 2017 of which I was able to make payments on up until Covid happened and I was unable to keep up with the card due to lack of work. This company brought my debt from another company and they somehow found out who my employer was and garnished my wages right before Christmas. I was blind-sighted by this company and also my employer. I am a single parent and this affected me and my child financially. When I called the customer service the people were very rude and basically stated they couldn’t do anything but I could make a payment that same day. They had already garnished my check and wanted me to pay the balance that was left, they are very rude and heartless people. I HOPE THIS COMPANY GETS SHUT DOWN SOON.

I previously had a Bed bath and beyond account and I had this credit card, and I had paid the whole balance off in October or November of 2022. And I closed the account on December 26 2022 because I didn’t need it anymore and after that I never used it. Then somehow it was getting fraud charges that never came from me because the account was already closed and it was already paid off. The dispute charges were already taken care of. So yesterday this company calls still claiming that I owe a balance on the account and I’m trying to tell this person that the account was already off and the account was already closed. The person on the phone was trying to pressure me into making a payment when I told him that I didn’t really have enough money to pay right now because I only have one job right now and I’m part time. This company needs to be shut down and investigated for how they call and harass people.

Midland Credit Management filed a court order for garnishment in April of 2023. The money was transferred from my bank to the courts so they can then send the funds over to Midland. Either Midland or the attorney they hired never submitted a certificate of service or an application for disbursement and they ended up garnishing my account again for the amount. The funds they garnished this time was from my mortgage account, which means my mortgage will now be late because of an error they made by not submitting the forms. When I spoke to the account manager they said it's been escalated to a manager but could not tell me how long it would take to issue my funds back. In the meantime, I now have a late fee because my mortgage is late. This has been a enormous inconvenience and incredibly frustrating.

I contacted Midland Credit Management company yesterday in attempts to resolve a debt that I had accrued a couple of years ago. First of all, the man on the phone spoke with a heavy ** accent and it was difficult to understand what he was saying. He spoke fast as well. After I identified myself and told him why I was calling, this man went into a very long-winded spiel which wasn't necessary at all. After what felt like an eternity he asked if I wanted to pay the debt off immediately and I said no, I wasn't prepared to do that yesterday. He then attempted to pressure me into making a payment yesterday so that he could give me a 'discount' on what I owed. When I refused to make a payment he put me through to his manager.
A ** woman got on the phone and her accent was very thick as well and she rattled off a lot of things about getting me a 'discount' on the total amount I owe IF I could give her a payment. The amount started somewhere around $80 or so and after several attempts of telling her I didn't have the money to make a payment, she began lowering the amount. I know that it's customary for collection departments to offer a smaller amount than what is owed and that's great however, they will only give the discount if you make a payment. I suppose this is either in good faith or a way for them to trap you.
This woman was extremely persistent to the point of badgering me for a payment. I tried to remain calm and told her countless times that it is the end of the month, I am on Social Security and I simply and honestly do not have any extra money. She claimed she understood but again, continued to pressure me for a payment. The $80 went to $60 then $50 then to her saying, "What CAN you pay today????" Again and again, I told her I couldn't pay anything at all. The more I said this the angrier this woman became. She even threatened to take the money out of my checking account. I don't know how because she doesn't have that information. This woman stressed me out so much I told her to have a good day and I hung up.
I don't appreciate being badgered for money especially since I explained my financial situation to this woman over and over. Maybe she thought that I would break under her pressure but that wouldn't happen because I wasn't about to send her any money. Had I been able to make a payment yesterday I probably would have but I was just trying to get some information about making a payment. I wanted to know if there were any interest charges. I didn't even get a chance to ask this question before I was berated like a mangy dog. Be careful about contacting this company if you have a debt. Don't let them rant on and on with their stupid spiel. Cut them off quickly. Talk over them if you have to. Tell them exactly why you are calling. Don't be pressured into making a payment that you don't have in your bank account to make.

So back in 2018 Midland did a judgmental against me for $2900. At no time did they attempt to contact or leave a VM. Jump ahead to 2023, Garnishment starts via ADP. 25% of my weekly pay for a balance of now $3646. ADP informs me that after several deduction the remaining balance is $1161. So, I call Midland to pay remaining balance. They give me a higher balance of $1600. Come to find out ADP is mailing checks weekly. Midland receives check and sits on it for a week. Currently, Midland is two weeks behind on balance and is charging an 8% daily rate of interest. So, apparently Midland and ADP are not keeping in contact with one another to confirm remaining balance. If it wasn't for me to tell Midland to fax ADP to give exact amount. Because ADP is reporting 11 payments sent and Midland is only reporting 9 payments received plus the payment I just made of $1161.
Midland is a bunch of crooked thieves. Almost all call reps sound like they are from India or Pakistan until they transfer you to the legal office, but that is after they give you a runaround and transfer your call to multiple departments or tell you to call another number to just deal with someone else. So if you ever have to deal with them, then good luck.

For starters, this company outsources, which I understand it's a money move. But the outsourced employees are some of the most disrespectful, non-caring, nonchalant representatives you can talk to. THEY DO NOT CARE so don't look for empathy from them. All they'll do is give you scripted answers and you can BARELY understand what they're saying.... and that's IF you get someone. All I was trying to do was see what options I had for repayment and they transfer you from department to department, most of the time they're blind transfers so be prepared to repeat yourself A LOT. I finally had to resort to setting up a default plan online and when I tried to modify it by settling, they played the "transfer from person to person" game. One call with them will COMPLETELY exhaust you and leave you STILL trying to get answers!

Well this month August 2020 I came in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 and had to get tested myself and had to self isolate which meant no work.
I called on 8/13/2020 and asked if my payment for this month could be extended to another date. The man I spoke to was rude and said I had a judgement and could not break the arrangement. I said, "I am not breaking an arrangement but asking for an extension." He rattled on again and I said, "You are not listening to me and "I am not breaking my arrangement."

Just when I/we thought ride sharing company had poor customer service- oh try this one!!!! Poor customer service as they never have a straight answer. Always deviating your question as if it was a pole hole on a highway. They operate in a fashion that makes consumers question their credibility. First time they contacted me, I was like oh boy- here we go again with the fraud calls. It took me weeks to investigate this company and was still not convinced. They have a 1 star review and that should speak for itself. I mean do we know how hard you have to be working to get a 1 star review? Unless one only has 1 customer but it is not the case here.
Why do we still trust them to operate and manage people's account? On a scale of 1-10: I will pick 1 as one of the worst companies I've ever had to deal with. Maybe we have forgotten the definition of customer service: Customer service is the provision of service to the consumer before, during, or and after a purchase. Company have customer service not only to support their products but also to assist customers by answering their questions, needs and inquiries in relationship to the product. We consumer are not or should not have to jump through hoops just to obtain information about the unfortunate service that we have to go through. People just don't chose to go to collection. I did not chose this company to contact me about my credit card debt but got here due to a wrong turn just like many people (in many respect).
I personally think that this business has a flaw- especially with their customer service team. Dealing with them is like drilling a hole on boat in the middle of the ocean to fish. Best paying off the bills to avoid them at all cost or even acquiring service elsewhere if possible is a lot ideal. If you value peace of mind over all else- pay them and get rid of them to avoid useless frustration and waste of time. For what it is worth, you are better off having an attorney or a debt consolidating company deal with them than trying to resolve an issue that has been recognized by many others (customer or not). Moral of this: Do not get into debt if you are unable to pay it for company like this will make you wish time traveling was a 100% possible and available to common public. Best regards all.
