Has anyone been called by these numbers? I just got called at home by an Indian sounding woman who came on the phone and said she was putting a resitution officer on the line about a very serious legal matter. The man came on and said he was a restitution officer with US National Bank and that unless my attorney contacted him by tomorrow morning something awful would unfold tomorrow afternoon. He said that I would be charge with check fraud etc because I went on the internet in 2005 which I did and took out payday loans. I kept asking him who he represented and he said US bank and I knew that was lie. He said that US Bank owns several PDL companies on line which they don't.
I'm still shaking because he had my social security #, my employer's name, etc. I'm still SHAKING. I just called the police to file a police report.
I googled this number and there were MANY recent complaints of the same nature, same phone #, same man, same story, etc. The thing is, I don't know if this is unrelated to the current PDL's who are collecting on me (United Cash Loans would be the only one I don't have an "agreement" with, and they are arriliated with BIG, who I paid off last week!). I'm really scared, but I'm NOT giving out my personal information (especially acct #'s.
Anyone else have these idiots call them?

Welcome to the club!  Yes, quite a few members/guests have had the same type of phone calls from this "company" If you type their name in the search box at the top right corner of the page you can read what other members have experienced.

You can hire a lawyer and sue them for not following the Fair Debt collection Act. Or have a lawyer draft up a letter to send as a scare tactic.

United Cash Loans is part of MTE. BIG is completely different.... But as Paul said, do not worry about them. Should you talk to them and they identify themselves as a collector, just send them a request for debt validation. I think I had them call me too and that is what I did...I remember something about US National....sending them a dv.

I'm not even sure this is related to BIG or UCL. The person I spoke to at the Oregon Dept of Finance and Insurance said that the same outfit in London owns BIG, Route 66, GFLS, also owns United Cash Loans. This may be related, or it may not. Not sure. I did file a police report last night.
