What NOT to Say If You Answer 917-310-0993
Anything you say to MSB can be used to collect. Protect yourself — avoid these common mistakes on the call.
Don't admit the debt is yours
When 917-310-0993 calls, saying "yes, that's mine" or apologizing can be treated as acknowledging the debt — which may reset the statute of limitations. Neither confirm nor deny until you've seen written validation from Midwest Service Bureau.
Don't agree to a payment on the spot
A single payment to Midwest Service Bureau — even a small "good-faith" one — can restart the clock on an old debt and make it collectable again. Never authorize a payment over a call from 917-310-0993.
Don't give bank or card details
Do not read out your bank account, debit, or credit card number to anyone calling from 917-310-0993. Any legitimate Midwest Service Bureau resolution can be handled in writing after validation.
Don't confirm personal information
Avoid confirming your SSN, date of birth, employer, or address to the 917-310-0993 caller. If it truly is your Midwest Service Bureau account, they should already have what they need and must prove it.

- 2

Your Rights When MSB Calls From 917-310-0993
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) give you real leverage. Here is the debt-validation playbook we use at Crowned Credit.
1. Demand Debt Validation (FDCPA §809)
Within 30 days of first contact, send MSB a written debt-validation letter. They must prove the debt is yours, the amount is right, and they have the legal authority to collect — or stop collecting.
2. Dispute With the Bureaus (FCRA §611)
If Midwest Service Bureau reported a tradeline, dispute it with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. They have 30 days to investigate; unverifiable items must be corrected or deleted.
3. Log the Calls
Write down every call from 917-310-0993: date, time, and what was said. Repeated calls, calls at odd hours, or threats can be FDCPA violations — and leverage for you.
4. Send a Cease-and-Desist
You can demand in writing that Midwest Service Bureau stop calling you entirely. The calls must stop, even though they may still report or pursue other legal steps.
5. Check the Statute of Limitations
Every state limits how long a collector can sue on a debt. If the debt is time-barred, MSB generally cannot win a lawsuit — and a payment could dangerously restart that clock.
6. Know the Anti-Harassment Rules
The FDCPA bars MSB from calling before 8am or after 9pm, threatening you, or lying about the debt. Each violation may entitle you to statutory damages.
