From 30 Years on the Debt Buying Side.
The burden of proof is on the plaintiff. Midland Credit Management must prove that a debt exists, that you are the person who owes it, that the amount they claim is accurate, and that they have the legal right to collect it. You do not have to prove you do not owe it.
What Midland Credit Management must specifically prove. As a debt buyer Midland Credit Management must prove they are the current legal owner of your specific debt. That requires a complete and unbroken chain of documentation from the original creditor through every subsequent buyer to Midland Credit Management. A gap in that chain means they may lack the legal right to collect.
Why this matters in practice. Midland Credit Management purchases large portfolios of accounts in bulk. The documentation they receive is often incomplete. Under the rules of evidence they are required to produce proper business records to substantiate their claims. Whether they can do so varies from case to case.
Your role is to require them to prove it. The Midland Credit Management Defense Toolkit shows you exactly what documentation to look for and what questions arise in debt buyer cases — giving you the foundational knowledge to understand your situation.
