I cannot confirm that Prelitigations of America and United Federal are owned jointly, however with United Federal the employees have a hard time understanding callers. P of A seems to be doing more of the threatening calls. United Federal and P of A has two different numbers with different area codes anyway. I will keep researching and let everyone know what I come up with.

Mike

I doubt they are using prepaid cell phones. That is a very expensive option for business to be using to remain annonymous. I still believe these are 2 different businesses.

If this were the case, and they were indeed using prepaid cell phones, I would love to chat with them...find out the color of the walls in their office, ask them if they prefer gray brick walls, etc.

So, does anyone have an address for them? Can we report them to the Florida Attorney General's office without an address? I would also like to write them a cease and desist letter so they do not call me at work.

There is talk about this in another thread. Another guest has provided an address, but it has not been confirmed as they also threw out the name Crosby again. You can view the thread here:

I have a problem with the name of the company. I worked for an agency that called themselves a "pre-litigation" firm. A debtor sued, and we were forced to drop that talk-off because it implied that we were a law firm. I wish I knew what state that was in so I could give you a reference. I would fight that based on the name alone, if they are not a law firm.

collection agencies are getting away with more and more these days it seems...or at least the shady ones. Chances are it is some hot shot attorney who opened up his own business and is now doing collections. Ted Crosby is a perfect example, when he had his Ellis Crosby & Associates.

Apparently Prelitigations of America is another. From my understanding though, Ted Crosby can no longer conduct/own a collection company. Rumor has it that he is running that company.

I'm still searching for more information about Prelitigations as well as United Federal Bank, who has hired unprofessional people.

Prelitigation called me again today. They are actually harassing me. Calling everyday, after I have asked them repeatedly not to call me. I have sent them a cease and desist letter, they should receive it tomorrow.

Did you sent it certified mail, with return receipt? If so, keep track of every single phone call after they receive the letter.

I actually think it's a good idea to start sending out 2 letters. Sending one CMRRR, obviously, so we can at least get some proof that they received the letter. And sending another one normal mail, to the same address. A lot of companies I've been told foward all certified mail to another department for special handling. Sometimes the letters won't even get read.

I agree with that, Mikey. Another option is to also fax the letter. If they are a company who follows the laws, the calls will stop almost immediately.

Although faxing does provide an instant result, and can also provide us with a fax transcript to prove if they've received it not, it does not let us know if the correct person is receiving it. With mailing letters, only the addressee can open it by federal law. Either way, both are good options.

This is true. I meant to say that I usually do both, I fax and send a letter CMRRR. It usually works

These people have been harrasing me as well. Here are the other phone numbers they've been calling me from.305-433-8368 or 732-231-6372.I was on vacation for a week and harrased my co-workers and told them that they were lying when I was out of town. They left embarrasing messages to my manager that I was being investigated by United Federal Department. I could loose my job if this guy dont stop harrasing me at work.He goes by the name of Steve Waugh?? Note also that he has a distictive heavy accent like Indian, people from India?. If anyone happen to come across with these people, please let me know. Who can I go to and report them for harrasment. Should I worry myself if I dont send them the money? Help I need advice from someone familiar with my situation. Should I go to my local police dept. to report this?

Jen-

Take a deep breath...I too was contacted by the same people with the funny "indian" accents, one in particular named Matt Hardy. He said the investigators are going to come to my home and I should have a lawyer there. This was Sat. April 1,2006 at 12 noon. I was told if I didnot have $1500 by 2PM I was going to jail...I have the same numbers (above) in my cell phone, they also call from a 954 area code as well as 904. If anything comes up as Jacksonville,Fl on your phone, it's them. You take control of the call and tell them they will do no such thing...I was so nervous, ready to cry but I came to my senses. Once I took control of them, I have not heard from them since April5th and that's only because I needed some time to find such as great site such as this one and I now know how to deal with them.
