Sued by Midland Funding?

Have you received a collection letter from Midland Funding? or a telephone call? has a lawsuit been filed against you by Midland Funding in Pennsylvania? Fortunately, you have found this website and you have found a Consumer Attorney who is willing to help you defend your interests

Midland Funding is a company that buys bad debt (credit accounts that are in default are referred to as "bad debt") to try to make a profit. Midland buys large blocks of allegedly defaulted credit card accounts for pennies on the dollar, sometimes for even less, for the sole purpose of attempting to collect whatever they can on those accounts from individuals just like you. They file dozens of lawsuits daily in hopes of collecting on old debt claims that have been charged off by the original creditor. Yes, they really can do that.

Our approach to defending lawsuits filed by Midland is twofold.  First, we defend the case based upon what I term a lack of legal sufficiency. In general, when a party files a lawsuit in Pennsylvania, there are several issues that need to be pleaded (placed) in the lawsuit. In other words, facts must be established by Midland that tend to prove that you had a credit account with some original creditor, that you defaulted on it on a certain date, that you agreed to pay a certain amount of interest, and most importantly, that Midland Funding has the right to sue you and collect on the alleged debt.

In my experience, I have found that the lawsuits filed by Midland Funding are usually legally insufficient, at least when they are initially filed. We object to these lawsuits on insufficiency grounds with great success.

In the event that Midland Funding is able to cure the insufficiency objections, we then move on to defending the claim on its legal merits, i.e. whether you actually had the account, whether you actually defaulted on it, when the alleged default occurred, et cetera.
