what the heck · Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 12:34 pm Subject: Do not pay to United. I resolved it

I was able to find the phone number of the original creditor, FTR Processing, using this website. I called FTR and explained to them that United called me yesterday with the representative yelling at me, making threats of arrest and calling me at work. I told them that I was terrified of this man frm United and unfortunately, I had to give them $400 to get him off the phone and not call my coworkers. FTR was very apologetic and said that they sold my loan to United. He said all the threats United made were empty threats and they've violated many laws. They said I should have hung up the phone with him as soon as he started yelling and just call them instead to work it out. Unfortunately, the $400 I paid United is wasted but I was able to arrange a nice payment plan with FTR. FTR sent United a cease and desist letter on my behalf to stop all of their calls. DEAL WITH THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR. FTR was apologetic that their name was entangled with United and left bad taste in my mouth.....

my daughter has recieved 2 calls so far from this company. They were of the same type of call that the previous responses experienced. my concern, other than the obvious, is that my daughter insists that she has not had a pay day loan with any company. her bank has allowed 3 different pay day loan companies to attempt to debit her accout several times over the last 2 months on two different checking accts to the tune of over 2000.00 in overdraft charges. she ahs recently moved and the checking acct statements had not shown up for over a month. we wonder if someone got ahold of them. we are not only going to be battling the debit collection company but we are gong to have to prove fraud on the part of the pay day oan companies or prove that soeone else took out the loan. the person who called my daughter said his name was kevin peterson from florida. he also insisted she send money asap or she would be arrested amongst other threats. he called again today at her work as before, and said that he has spoken to her supervisor and she no longer has a job and they were going to sue her. has anyone else delt with this and found that they there was fradulant activity on the part of the pay day loan company.

Your daughter should close those bank accounts. And don't worry, your daughter cannot be arrested.

Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2007 5:50 am Subject:

Dont worry these are just sleazy tactics to intimidate your daughter. In my opinion your daughter should pull off her credit file from one of the agencies and check whether these guys have reported any bogus debt or not.
Keep us posted
Take care

these people started calling me about 2 months ago. they were calling my boss and his boss and pretty much anybody that would talk to them. i almost lost my job. i paid them $600 and they stopped calling. today i got a call and it was the same man, kevin peterson, from that company telling me i have to pay $900 right now or he's going to talk to my manager and have me fired AND ARRESTED!!!!!! WHAT CAN I DO? i dont know if my job will stand for another round of this.

Do not pay them shyredneck. Also they cannot have you arrested, as has been stated before. Try to explain to your boss the situation. Next time united pay calls you tell them they are not allowed to call you at work. If they continue to they are breaking the law. They are also breaking the law by saying you can be arrested.

Ask them for debt validation and send them a cease and desist letter. There are examples on this website. Also see if their is a consumer attorney in your area, you can sue United Pay for what they are doing. If allowed, tape their phone calls also and tell United Pay you are taping them.

I am a detective with the Springdale, Arkansas Police Department. DO NOT PAY THEM ANYTHING! as this is a scam in which I am investigating. This will likely turn into a much bigger deal than any of you can imagine...if you have any further information that might be helpful, please contact me at (479) 756-8200 and ask for badge number 348.

Thanks and God Bless

I laso recieved a call from United Pay services this past week and spoke to a man named Thomas Ray saying that I owe a payday loan some money($580.00)and if I don't pay they were comming to arrest me. I don't have the money to pay this off and also don't want to go to jail, he's willing to work with me to make some payments arrangements, if they were coming to arrest me @ my job wouldn't they want their money right away. Please let me know what I should do. They are located in Jacksonville, Fl and also telling me to western union them $200.00. Please I need your help.

what state are you

I'm in Fl, can someone please let me know what I should do with this matter?

In my opinion you should send them a debt validation letter. Under the Federal law, you are entitled to ask a debt collector to validate the debt and the collector HAS to validate it. If he/she does not validate it, then its a violation of fdcpa. A debt collector must be able to prove that he/she owns the debt legally and is authorized to collect it from you. And the total amount of the debt that he/she is claiming from you is accounted for and is documented by your original creditor. A collector must be able to provide a copy of the original legal contract that you signed with your creditor.

I hope it was useful

Good luck
Nelly

Thank you so much for you suggestion. I would take this into consideration. What would you do if this happens/happened to you? I really need this person to stop calling me @ my job, telling me that I need to send them some money.

Hi

Send them a Cease and desist letter via certified mail with a RRR.First, there is a big difference between validation and verification. Browse through the given link

I too received a very scary call from what they said was United Pay Services in regards to an Arrowhead Loan. He gave me my address both at home and at work, referred to himself as an officer of the law and told me he would come arrest me at my job or work. He said it would happen that day. Scared I sent $200 Money Gram to Receive Code: 5056 in Jacksonville, Fl.
I am afraid I sent money to a scam artist. The phone calls continued. So, I decided to do Debt Mgmt. The company asked me to get my Acct number and their address. I called "United Pay Services" who repeatedly asked for my name and SSN. Then rambled off the address in Jacksonville. He was not from this country and had a STRONG India accent. I asked him to spell the address, he said he would not. He said he would disconnect the call if I didn't want to write down the address! I wrote what I thought he said which was 9378 Ellenton Expressway, Jacksonville, Fl 32225. Then he said " Come here, I will slap you in your face"! Is this not ILLEGAL?
Is anyone interested in pressing charges other than myself?
I am so mad. I wired that money, so mad I have been harrased in that way!!!!

They are nothing but a bunch of crooks. I know how it feels when you know that your money is wasted. After all its our hard earned money.
