Universal Fidelity must give you the details of the debt in writing within 5 days after calling you for the first time. Send a debt validation letter if you don't receive anything in the mail. They are bound to follow the FDCPA laws while attempting collections. Get in contact with the original company and work out repayment plans with them. They will be much easier to work with.

c38nfrnt, has Universal Fidelity hit your credit report? Do not allow them to report in your file without genuine purpose. If they are on your credit, dispute the item with the CRA along with proof of your validation request. The CRA will verify it with the company and remove if found incorrect. Send your letters certified.

I to am having problems with this Universal Fidelity. I had a game named Sedrick call me, he was very very rude. I asked him not to call me at work again and he did about 4 days later. I am talking to him in mid sentence he just hangs up on me. Wouldn't give me an address or phone #. I have never received anything in the mail from them. I was told to call a Tony Holmes at 281-647-4120 and lodge a complaint. So you might try that.

I forgot to add that Universal Fidelity has been hired by Resurgent Capital Services LP, to collect an old Sears account.

I received a phone call from a Miss Ellis at Universal Fidelity. At first she was very nice. The next day she called me back and got my 12 year old daughter (I was at work) and told her if she didnt tell her my work phone that myself and my daughter would be arrested because she worked for the local courthouse. I called her back and she denied saying that.

singlemomof2 Next time when the collection agencies call you, get the call recorded. Check the state laws to verify if you are allowed to do the recording secretly. The collectors deny their words easily if you are unable to show proof. Did the company validate the debt in writing? They are bound by federal laws before attempting collections.

Universal Fidelity is still messing around with me but the people from my bank are filing something against them becuase they took 100 from my account (1 girl from the company said they did, 1 girl said they didnt, 1 girl hung up on me, my mom, and a worker from the bank when questioned about it, and 1 supervisor said they took it out but put it back in my account and that my bank made an error and she doesnt know why the 100 didnt go back into my account) so my bank is doing everythign they can to get these people in trouble and find out what the did with my money and my bank is going to stop all action with this company untill someone from their side steps up and says we took your money.

This people are very rude. A woman by the name of Naoemi Simon called my cell phone Sunday morning and left a threatening message on my voice mail. When I called back she said that I was faced with legal action because an account whose primary name is my ex-husband was not being paid and that even though I was only an authorized siganture I had to pay the account and if I did not do it will go legal. They never sent anything to me on paper either. Please help!
