My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: ARIZONA

Hi,

Dealing with Midland Funding LLC. Their attorneys have skirted the rules on a continuous and on-going basis. We asked for a forensic validation of debt (a copy of signed application, etc), we did not get one.

I answered lawsuit and 40 days for discovery expired on Saturday Feb 9th. That same day they served me with a 2nd lawsuit in a separate jurisdiction in the name of the same creditor (my address is now served by a different court - they also have motion to move case to to other jurisdiction). I am not aware of any account, and definitely not 2. I waited til today and called court to complain that they have filed no disclosure, no documents and no evidence at all on original case. My reason in calling is I was going to file a motion for summary judgement, but I know the judge might give them additional time so I was concerned about tipping my hat as to strategy.

When I called the court, the clerk informed me they filed an affidavit saying they had served me with all disclosure. THEY DID NOT! They served me with another suit. The clerk said I should call them and have them send me the docs. I DISAGREE. That tips my hat that I caught them trying to cheat and I am out 2 weeks in examining those docs. It is obvious to me they intend to use the documentation of that OTHER service to claim they gave me documents on the first case.

Seems very unethical. Midland has been sued my a multitude of states for it's practice. The law firm has countless complaints against them and a BBB rating of F.

I intend to go get the documents at the court and file a motion for summary judgment with prejudice as they have failed to comply with disclosure and request the court to conduct an internal investigation and possibly levy sanctions against the firm for attempting to circumvent proper disclosure.

Am I out of my mind or is their a better way to handle this.
