:? Has anyone ever heard of or dealt with these companies? They are threatening my husband at his job... calling him telling that they are going to arrest him. They have said that they are filing a lawsuit against us in Florida. The number that they have been calling us is showing up 941-375-6859. And they are all Indians. What do I do??


Call Midland at 800-282-2644 and ask for more information about the debt they are collecting for. By federal laws, they are required to send you the details in writing. Don't be worried of their scare tactics. Report them to your state AG and the local BBB. Keep a check on your mailbox because they are required to send the information within five business days. If you don't receive anything, send a DV letter through certified mail and return receipt requested and this should cover your basis legally.

It is illegal for any collection agency to make illegal threats about lawsuit. Read the fdcpa and tell them that you will be pursuing legal actions because of their violating the laws.

The IPDL was through Midland Marketing Group. That was the name they used when they took money out of our bank account. I would really appreciate it if you had their email. We keep trying to get the collection agency they hired to give us a way to contact them but to no avail. Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you for all this information, I got a call from them 2 months ago, and was blown away, I returned the call, and no answer, today I get a call from some punk named Mark, and he was so rude with a very big attitude for someone on the phone....he asked me if I wanted to settle, and I told him I did not do this maybe my wife did, but was still held accountable, so I said I will pay, and he put me on hold like as if he was fighting for my case, and came back and said he got some department to give me a break and settle...he wanted $900, I asked himfor more information he would not give it up, he said i would I go to jail, call my job, and see me in court, he told me not to interupt himor this phone call is over, so long story short I told him no unless I get more info...and he said your going to jail AND HUNG UP! Whatever with that indian dude

just got many calls from them today saying that I owe them money. I have never heard of them ever.. My payday loans are up to date. Never any problems.
this Indian shaun called threating me and my brother and sister with prosicution for the none payment of a pay day. He had all of my information. He knew the names of my siblings, knew my employer. He even called my employer 5 times today and spoke with the receptionist and continued to inform her that I comit check fraud. I know this is illegal. I also know that threatening ny brother and sister is also illegal.
this shaun would not give me much info re: said loan..
I wanted to know the name of his company. the date and amount of original loan. all I got was a legal firm and a $1100.
dollar amount. He also said that there is and affidavid. Also, that and officer will be arriving at my home to take me to court.
I called the police and reported this as for I felt very threatened. I also checked my credit report: it had nothing on it pertaining to bahama marketing group or any other payday loan company. I will also be contacting my states attorney general. I'm not sure what else to do? I know that i do not owe the money. My bank statements should prove it.

any further suggestions? what has happened with others in this situation?

Today I recieved a message from a co-worker that a Mark Kelly called from Eagle Eye & Associates called for me. So I called the number it is an 813 area code in Tampa FL. Some Indian guys answers and does not state the company name nor identifies him self. So I ask for Mark Kelly, the asks who am I and I tell him my name right away he says that he has to inform me about an affidavid and that I am being charged with internet fraud and all this stuff related to a PDL that I took out with this Bahama Marketing group affilites of CashNet, he said it was in June of 08. He then gave the phone to his so called Supervisor and this guy was rude I could understand a word of either idiot. I asked to speak to a manager and he got angry and said that I could not speak to a manager. I said well if you have legal action against me se it to me in writing legally you have to send me something in the US mail. He had the last 4 of my social the last digits of my bank account the name of my employer and my two references that I put down that happen to be my sisters. I checked my bank records for the month of June in 08 I did have a PDL but not with this Bahama Marketing group, so I called every PDL company I have ever had a loan with and I do not have any out standing loans. I called this jerk back to ask for a phone number to this Bahama Marketing group and he said you took out the loan you should have the information and told me to stop calling. This guy is now calling my sisters. What can anyone recommend I do?

Let tell you about this company Bahama Marketing, it's a total scam and a rip off! Last week some clown with a thick accent named Officer So and So call me to tell me to write down these numbers and telling me that a Warrant will be issued in the State of Ohio for my arrest (Ohio?!? I lived in New York for christ sake and it doesn't make sense), then I'll be charged with Federal Wiretap and Fraud unless I agreed to pay $1,030 for a pay day loan that I NEVER took out from them and that the amount must be paid by my debit card. I admit, I was scared of my wits because I'm the type of guy that carried emotion on my sleeve very easy. This time I got wiser! It's a good thing that I'm a member of Pre-Paid Legal Services and PPL's independent law firm affiliate Feldman, Kramer and Monaco here in New York, and referred me to a lady attorney named Sally Abel. She got right on the ball and took care of these clowns by telling this scam artist do not call my house or we will take legal action by the Attorney General here in New York State. She also advise me which I'm gonna give to you people here who reading this who was in the same situation as I was...Do not to give out your debit card or checking account out to ANYONE...EVER!! Do not give it out over the phone unless they give legal doccument proof! Ask them for a certified letter in writing.

I hope this helps because it sure help me...A LOT!!

I have also been contacted at work by an Indian man stating that charges are being brought against me in regards to SM Group payday loans which I have never had. He had the last 4 digits of my social and my "references" names. His name was Mike Johnson and he stated that charges would brought against all three of us unless I paid $723.00. I have received anything in the mail in regards to a debt. I tried calling the number on the Better Business Bureau but it was not in service. I also filed a complaint against the company. He asked me if I had been arrested and if I had a bank account and when I did not provide the information that he requested he told me that I was going to be sued and taken to court. What do I do? This seems like a scam.

Does anyone have any current phone #s for Midland Marketing? I too had a loan through this company 2 and 1/2 years ago that I have paid off, and I get a call at work today threatning police,embarrasement at work, legal action and them taking my home if I do not pay up. What seems funny to me is that why wait years later to harass people? Has anyone ever been picked up or had legal action taken against them? I'm semi-worried, but this site has helped me feel not so alone in this mess.

I have a question about this to. I've been getting tons of calls on my cell and work from this Midland group. When I ask them to send me documents on what they are talking about, they won't and just say I need to settle a old debt. I have no recollection of every taking out anything during the time frame they are stating and they are all indians that I can barely understand. I have told them to stop contacting me at work. The number I have for them is 267 690 9318 and 646 861 7897. What is this all about? they are threating and making things seem urgent and I keep asking for some proof of what they are talking about.

I too received a call for the past 2 day from that number 267-690-9318 and they called my desk phone and my cell, telling me to pay $397.00 for a PDL, I asked to whick company an b/c i couldnt understand his bad english he told me dont worry about the company just pay the $$, so i told him to send documents and he said the company dont want to talk to me and thats y he's calling. Then he gave me all my personal info. and told me that my SS# is blocked and that he was filing charges n the attorneys office. I told him that i would contact the FBI and he had the nerve to get smart and say "Tell me what FBI stands for" i was like what???? then he said spell out the meaning so i hung the phone up. What i want to know is if anyone ever receive any court paper work n the mail? If i do owe that is fine but i wanted proof as to where i was sending this money and to whom and he didnt want to provide me with nothing nor give me a phone number to contact this Midland Marketing Co. What was so funny is when i answered my phone he was like this is Adrew Johnson and my supervisor needs to speak with u, all he did was take the phone from his mouth and he got back on.....not no supervisor what a jerk

She also knows alot about family law and helped me out for a problem in that area as well. I recommend her highly!!! I know she lives in North Carolina but also does work in NY. Look her up...

Midland Bank was one of the banks, if I remember correctly, that failed in Kansas. I think somewhere Midland Funding, Midland Bank, and this one are all connected because they are all seemingly inept and irresponsible and in the same business. There may be a lot of yada yada to get from here to there but I betcha.
