Pay nothing to people claiming to be of United Pay Services

Welcome to the forum, and thanks for posting this info. Hopefully, others will read your post and be forewarned before sending them money.

Hmm.. if someone owes the debt and their account is sent to United Pay Services for collections, better deal with the original company. They will be a lot easier and your debts will also get paid at the right place.

ok I have to admit that back in dec. before I really started reading through this forum united pay services called and threatened me with arrest, it scared the heck out of me. At that time I only knew to ask for a DV letter. He said oh so you want to go that route and told me that he would only send the DV letter AFTER I paid in full. So I called I-Collect (the broker who bought the loan from TJF/BMG) and she put me through to Jack Smith and then he made arrangements with me. I had to use western union only because it was cheaper than money gram. And yes I did send them 2 payments. But this week when I called I-Collect just to make sure they were getting the payments, she looked it up and said yes and told me how much I paid. But I was supposed to make another payment today and through the advice of an lawyer I did not. I also called western union and united pay services is regestered through western union. But now we have to get a law enforcement official to get the info on united pay services from western union. Because when they collect through western unions quick collect form the money goes right to their printer so they never have to go pick it up. So western union has the info. But as soon as my states department of financial institutions gets this info they will be able to track them down.
But I also agree these people are not nice and I do not plan on sending them any more money, because what I sent them was enough to cover my loan through TJF/BMG I will just love to see them in court and show the judge my bank statements showing they tried to debit my checking account 4 times in 1 day. And charge me twice what the law here allows for nsf fees. In 1 month they tried to debit my account (which I had closed) 9 times and the law here allows only 2 times. So either I get the nsf fees back from them that my bank charged me (which was MORE than the loan) or they give me a PIF letter. Good luck to those who have to deal with these people.

Stand strong when dealing with United Pay Services. You already know by now about this collection agency. Gather all important documents that will be used as your strongest defense in the court. And, the company has to pay you for the damages done and post money to your account. You are not liable to send any more if you have already covered the loan amount mentioned in your state. Talk to your bank about the NSF fees. They will dispute the charges with UPS and get it verified. They will be able to revert back the money into your account if UPS is unable to give any verification.

Boy I wish I would have read this before. I received a call from these people a few days a go saying that I owed $700.00 and that if I didn't pay right then they would be sending somebody to my work to serve me with court papers. I was so scared that I paid them the money. They also accused me of commiting fraud.

You should still file a complaint with your attorney's general office and the federal trade comission.

Money Gram cannot shut United Pay Services off soon enough....they are still calling me....I just let the machine get it....What a bunch of crooks!!!

Another thing NOT to do with United Pay Services: If they ask for a debit or credit card, as a show of good faith, refuse, insist on the debt validation, and then hang up. Don't count on any cooperation from this bunch though.

The last two guest posts are me....I forgot to log in...duh!

I never tell any of these fools I have a debit, credit or checking account. I don't feel it is any of their business. I have been burned giving that information to collectors before and won't do it again.
