Sonic using Universal Fidelity to collect

the address and phone number on the letter I received is: P. O. Box 941911, HOuston, TX 77094-8911. office number is 614-789-4825

sorry, I thought I was logged in. This is weird. is 614 an Ohio area code?

Yes it is, but if you read back, the phone number I found for Universal Fidelity in Dublin, OH is different from what is on your letter.

MAkes me wonder what they are up to or if this is even legitimate.

I'm right there with you!!

I also found these. I'm trying to find out if there's one corporate office and the rest are just satellite locations or if they're all separate companies. One of the locations was actually Universial Fidelity, LLC, but the rest all say Universal Fidelity Corp. Sneaky, sneaky little PDL companies...

Universal Fidelity Corp
2 Executive Park
Irvine, CA zip code
Phone: (949) 852-8900

Universal Fidelity Corp
15310 Amberly Dr # 100
Tampa, FL zip code
Phone: (813) 971-0000

That last post was me, sorry. Joyfordream, I would be concerned about the validity of the place that sent you info, because the P.O. Box address for Houston you have shows up on the satellite map in the middle of a neighborhood, and I certainly wouldn't want my hard earned cash going to some weirdo guy sitting around his house in a bathrobe using illegal collection tactics. You could try calling the 2 Houston numbers I posted before and seeing if either one of them holds your debt, if you can manage to get info out of them without giving them more than your name.

My notice says:

Universal Fidelity LP

This gets more interesting by the minute.

We're uncovering a conspiracy...(dramatic music)...

Imagine that - sonic is involved in a conspiracy.

Lol, I know, who would have ever thought that about Sonic? They alway seemed like such an honest, straightforward group *snort* Do you know if Universal Fidelity is actually linked in business to Sonic, or are they just the CA Sonic uses? If we can get a handle on how the group is structured and if they're linked, I'll sit down and call every darn one of them to try and figure out what their deal is.

I have no clue, but if you can find that out that would be wonderful. You can google Universal Fidelity LP and get a website of a company but who knows if it's legit.

Oh boy, here we go Sue, get out you reading glasses, body armor, and Tylenol:

Universal Fidelity Corp.

Also does business as:
Fingerhut Credit Advantage
UFC
Universal Fidelity
Universal Fidelity Corporation
Universal Fidelity LP

They have an unsatisfactory record with the BBB, who has processed 172 complaints about the company in the past 36 months (and that doesn;t include pending complaints).

The Langham Creek address in Houston I posted earlier seems to be their main location, but they also have about 5 or 6 different P.O. Box addresses; but considering what I found out about that P.O. box Joyfordream had, I wouldn';t trust one of those.

The Florida address is apparently partnered to the Houston address:

Universal Fidelity LP
15310 Amberly Dr.
Ste #100
Tampa, FL 33647
Telephone: (813) 971-0000

I don't think Tylenol is going to be strong enough actually. I got the same notice as joyfordream so I have a vested interest in this also.

Do you know anything whois.net?

Universal Fidelity
3629 Seattle Slew Dr
Columbus, OH 43221

This address is in the system for some reason, but the Ohio BBB states that the company is located outside its service area and then gives the Houston address as contact info for the company.
