8557898625

They keep calling my NextPlus number (free texting, but also has voice). I'm guessing the number came from some pool of old pre-paid numbers. I haven't answered, so I'll trust this site that it's a collection agency named Midland.

Thanks for this valuable information.

Good lord, are people always this rude... just got a call from some woman at this number who demanded to talk to the owner of the phone number. Since it's a new number that we bought just a month ago, I told her I owned it and she called me a liar and demanded to talk to the MAN who owns the phone contract...She said she was from Midland Credit and that if I was trying to protect my husband, and she called him a deadbeat, then I would also be sued by the state. Fortunately, we installed an app that records voice phone calls and records the IP address of the callers. I've also called the state attorney general's office here, and filed a complaint for harassment against Midland Credit. We owe them nothing, and the number we have is one where, if we get more calls like this, will be turned in for a new one, and hopefully won't be snakebitten.

The fact that you (the shrill shill) are reposting your "prove it" post under multiple names is proof in itself. Who is the most immoral, the criminals who prey on vulnerable populations to enrich themselves, or the clueless liars who go out of their way to cover them up? Hitler or the cheering minions who gave him his power? You, mister shill, are a mindless minion.

This Midland whatever keeps calling.  I keep NOT answering.  It's been years.  Give up!

These scumbags have just started calling my number.  There are NO LAWS on the side of the consumer!!  The "DO NOT CALL LIST" has more loopholes than all the lawyers and politicians put together!!  They are probably in cahoots with STELLAR collections.  I am NOT in arrears.  My bills are either paid off or up-to-date every single month ON TIME!!  Just more loony-toons trying to coerce people into sending in money they don't owe.  An answering machine is the best answer.  Use it to screen calls.  FRIENDS and RELATIVES will leave messages.  All others can take a flying leap into the abyss!!!  Good riddance to bad rubbish.  Honest consumers are totally on their own when it comes to scams.

There is no loophole in the DNC for debt collectors. They fall under the FDCPA laws and not the DNC.

They call almost every day and never leave a message.  Would like to block call.

If you call that number and tell them that they have the wrong number, they'll remove it.    I did that and no more calls.

Calls beginning from Midland. Looks like PRA purchased a consumers debt from Asset in April 2015 and gave up this May.  In California, time barred debts cannot be sold again after January  2015. Midland is in a pretty pickle here, because they cannot legally (SB233) buy this debt (Midland now owns Asset) this June. My phone call logs for the consumer date back more than four years, so the collection is time barred (SOL). No collection letter has ever come to my home, so the consumer remains unknown to me.

Constant calls every hour - again as reported by others Midland Collection -  I am debt free - amd these phone calls are very annoying Please advise how to stop these callss

listen boys and girls//////////////////////midland has been sued numerous times and lost////////they are a company who looks at the bottom line//////////i know im in the collection business/////the real collection business//////yjose idiots,,will only persue ypu hard if you owe...2000 or more hard,,,the purchase rate too buy the note is 15 cents on the dollar

Good advice

it may be a real deal but I never had the credit card or made the 190 a month payments.....they now have my ss number...which I did not give them the last time I picked up the phone...with no name just a number...they have been calling every day....now saying I owe 9 grand but will take 5...we are on va disability...a debt from 2008....my face was cut up from skin cancer that year and I was not out and about shopping....I never had a payment of that amount if it is real...my identity was stolen on that one....we done paid one we did not owe....from callers messing with my deaf husband...last month my credit was good....now what...who was making those payments?.....I have never got a bill...im suppose to now...how they got my private number or address to suddenly send a bill I don't know....my only child is very sick and this crap just adds to the stress...please do file a complaint to the fbi.....if its not them doing it...it is hard to trust anyone anymore, If they cared...the country would not be in the shape it is

since June 1 this phone number has called me 31 times! It's blocked and no doubt will keep calling! Idiots!

Get calls every morning even Saturday and Sunday from 855 789 8625 never leave a message.  We are both elderly and willn  not answer such phone calls so they might as well quit calling, especially they leave no message so must not be anything urgent .

855-789-8625 definitely Midland Funding LLC and Midland Credit Management, outsourced calls to India or some other hell hole offshore !  Block and Ignore.
