I was called at work by a local number. I did not recognize the number so I didn't answer. The number then popped up 2 more times within 5 minutes. I saw that I had a voicemail message, and when I checked it it was someone named 'Officer' Shawn Williams stating that he was calling from United Legal Investigative Department and that he needed to speak with me or he was going to contact my manager at work regarding a debt that was owed. Keep in mind he was saying this on my recorded voicemail, which I am sure is a violation of the fdcpa. Before I could even finish listening to the message, they were calling me back again. I picked up the phone, the man asked who he was speaking with and when I identified myself, he started rattling off my social security number and then asked me to verify. I told him that I would speak to him, but I was at work and he needed to call me at a different number (I gave him my cell phone number) and told him it would have to be after 5pm CST. He hung up the phone, then called right back and told me that he wanted to speak to me now, not at my convenience, and I needed to get this cleared up before noon today or he would send the police to my place of business to arrest me. He said that we were speaking on a recorded line that was connected to the courts. I asked him which court, he refused to tell me and kept threatening that I need to worry about paying this debt and not worry about which court it was. I asked him for the name of the original creditor, he would not tell me. He told me that I could 'settle out of court' for $1,094, I asked him to give me a fax number or mailing address so that I could put all of this in writing, he refused to do so. I did a reverse number look up and found an address for United Legal Investigative Dept in Kansas City, MO, I asked if this was correct, and he said 'NO we are based in California', although the number he was calling me from has a Houston TX area code. When I continued to ask for a fax number, he put me on hold to find a 'senior officer'. After being on hold for several minutes I finally hung up, they called me right back and this 'senior officer' was just as belligerent as the first and refused to give me any means to contact them in writing. He basically told me that he didn't care if I told them not to contact me until after 5 pm, and that I needed to take care of this. He said there are 3 outstanding federal charges against me and he named them. I told them I would no longer speak with them by phone if they could not provide me with a means to contact them in writing, since they were badgering & threatening me at my place of employment. Then they hung up on me.

They just called me back 4 more times. When I answered, I told them AGAIN that this was an inconvenient time/place to discuss this & to call me at the number and time that I asked. He said 'If you hang up on me one more time your Social Security Number is going to be blocked!' I asked him to explain what that meant, he said 'That's my problem, not yours.'

I have filed complaints with the Attorney Generals Offices in California, Texas, and Missouri as well as with the Federal Trade Commission. This is insane and they are breaking multiple FDCPA regulations.


This sounds similar to a company called Civil Claims Asset Investigation Services AKA Claims America. The caller ID was likely spoofed and you could probably ultimately trace them back to Buffalo, NY. I would have some fun with them while you're at it since everything they said to you was a lie. If you can record legally in your state, and it's OK with your employer, do so. You might have trouble suing them if you can't nail down who they really are but you sound like an informed consumer and tehy will probably crawl back under their rock before too long. Good luck and have fun!

Edit: What's the number? If it's not spoofed maybe I can call them and have some fun too!

I also received a call today. They said the name of the company was United National Legal or something along those lines. The guy had a strong accent and was difficult to understand. He proceeded to tell me that there were 3 charges against me, etc. When I asked the name of the company he was working for, he wouldn't answer. I am currently going through PDL consolidation with Langhorne and they seemed to think this company was United Pay. The number that he called from was a Texas number and when I called it back the call went to voice mail which was full. I did file a complaint with the FL AG's office since this is where United Pay is located.

Does anyone have any info on this particular number?

I got scared the first time they called me, and for good reason. I can lose my job for being in "default" on a debt. But this wasn't the case, and I naively paid them off, and when everything was said and done...they called back saying i owed two more loans. So I called the guy out on it and he just said yes or no. I called back this morning to get the name of their lawyers, but too got united legal investigation in New York City. Such garbage

i yet again got a call from the 904-239-3968 number this time from Shawn Michaels with the united investigations. I had also used langhorne debt consolidations at one time and contacted them regarding this. Bahamas Marketing Group was the owner of some PDL and then sold the files to some company, which included ss#'s phone numbers etc. it is a scam they want you to wire money to them, not mail, shoot they'll even email you a fake invoice. :x

I also have received the same phone calls from a Michael Austin, Louis Martin, Shawn Michaels (whoever these people are, if they are real with foreign accent). It is quite frustrating and my employers don't know whether to keep me or fire me. Help somebody with advice on what to do.

I am a resident of Indiana, I received a call from someone claiming to be calling from United Legal Investigations calling himself Officer Peter with a Oriental accent. He left me a message that was time sensitive, and I was under an investigation, and I had better contact him. How should I handle this, I have not called back. The caller ID was +052173896, but the number he left was a 800 number. Again, I ask how should I handle this? :evil: :evil: :evil:

I have also received calls from these guys. The #'s I have range from Florida to Connecticut. They're very persistent. I did have one of those payday loans at one time @ 3 years ago but it was paid in full. The keep threatening me with 3 federal charges too which would get me fired from my job. I haven't contacted the attorney general yet but since reading these posts I definitely will.

They have been calling me at the my office for the past 2 days. Threatening me as well. The names of the people I have been talking to are Peter Davis with the Law and Investigation Legal Department. When I asked for the name of the company they refused to give it to me and that it was none of my business. I was then transferred to Senior Office and supervisor Mark Johnson who told me that within 3 hours someone was coming to arrest me and list 3 counts of the charges. When I asked what county the suit was in they couldnt' even tell me the county charges were filed in. He than began yelling at me and told me to just shut up and quit asking stupid questions and to pay my bill or go to jail for years. The only thing he did tell me was that he was representing as the legal firm of Cash Advance Payday company. Told me to wire money via Western Union to Jeffrey Tiger at Pittsburg, PA 15219. He then told me to stop talking again when I tried to ask intelligent questions to confirm the legitaty of this company and then he hung up on me. Another call into my office came in from Neil Johnson stating he was the supervisor to Mark Johnson and again stated the same things as the other foreign speaking man. He too was rude and told me to wire the money or I would go to jail that day. I have not sent them the money and told they are calling me back threatening me some more. The number that Neil Johnson told me to call when I got the Western Union wire done was 412-360-8420 and I have another number of 412-360-8460. Add those names and numbers to be watching out for. I am calling directly to Cash Advance Payday Company to find out what this is all about.

The number that showed on my called ID is 91373. But the number that they left for me to call back was 707-693-4106( I did not return the call). The man used the name Lincoln Thomas. The reason for them calling me is because of some kind of an investigation that has to do with my SS# and fraud. The man sounded like Arabian or India but also sounded like it may have been a "computer" talking. It all sounded like fraud to me so I figured I would do some research on google. I see a few things listed about them and it all has been found to be fraud. Now, if they have my SS# and other information, how can I protect myself against these people?
Also, I did get an internet payday loan a few months ago and money is taken from my account to pay them off. Should I worry and again, what can we (the victums of these idiots) do about it?

I got calls from these same people. But remember it is only one person doing it all. I told them to suck a d*&^. It is fun to play with him on the phone. He gets very angry when you ask too many questions. He is a punk and won't hurt or harm you. Call them back and harrass him and ask for Habib or Muhammed. I have all of the calls recorded on my cell phone. When he called to talk to me, he heard my recorder in the background and asked if I were recording the conversation. I told him if he were recording then I am recording. That's when he hung up the phone.

On 04/05/2011 Investigative Service left a message at my home stating I was being investigated for check fraud. Guy named Ron Cunnimgham said I needed to contact him and clear this matter or there would be a warrant issued for my arrest. Have no clue who are what these people are about never lived in or been to Atlanta GA. Never had a payday loan in my lifetime.


Filed a complaint with State Attorney General and FTC, Federal Trade Commission.

.I received a call like this from the #412-879-0284, he identified himself as Officer Harry Lawrence from United Investigation. A strong Indian Accent, asking for a person which doesn't live in my household, but tried to get more information about me, unsuccessful. I told him to give me his identification number and department number, since this is a recorded conversation, and that everything he will say, will be used against him. He said, that I should do what I want and hung up!!! ;)) I did save a recorded message and I do have family in Law enforcement

This man that is calling and leaving threats on my 12 yr old daughter's cell phone is really upsetting me, he states hes from the Federal Crimes Investigation Dept. and threaten me with my name and my husbands ss# that if we didn't pay we would have to pay the price and its BIG and I just don't know what to do about these threats anymore. If we owe thats our business and we will pay however we can and that's between the collector and us not a man from another country that thinks he can call and threaten us as if were criminals. Deeply distraught and tired. The Delgado Family
