United Federal Bank
Date: Tue, 03/21/2006 - 10:09
These people called me at work, threatened to come to my work and take me to jail unless I sent them $925 by 3pm yesterday. When I told them I couldnt, they hung up on me after wishing me good luck. Then they called back 10 minutes later and left a message to call them again. When I did, the amount owed had changed to $1225!! I told them I was getting a lawyer and they hung up on me again. Today they called back and left me a voice mail stating that they had "good news" concerning my account. Do these people really think that I am going to just up and send them $$ with no validation? I admit, the threat about coming to my work scared me at first, but after discovering this website, I knew it was a scam. Since the calls, I have contacted the 3 places that I have payday loans with and made arrangements to re-pay the loans. And NONE of them had sent me to collections....
So my question is this....is this United Federal a scam?? They can barely speak English and they answr the phone by saying "hello" instead of stating their company name.

Please understand, if you really owe debts, no one can put you into jail. So relax. There is no question of paying a dime without validation. Ask for their address repeatedly when they call and inform them that you want to see some written documents before paying. Also contact FTC, BBB, and AG's office to file complaint against them if they continue harassing. Keep us posted.
They are relentless
Now this George guy at United has changed his name from Steve Adams to "Jack" at the State's Attorneys office and they are coming to arrest me at work. I need to have these calls STOPPED at my work. I see that I should files complaints, but where do I begin? Anyone know a good BBB, FTC address?? I am located in Illinois....
File with your Attorney General. I also contacted the Florida AG
File with your Attorney General. I also contacted the Florida AG since the calls were coming from Florida. I am getting ready to file a written report with them. Hope this helps.
A good BBB address is on the internet. Just search for Better Business Bureau and type in the company name or phone number. If you find them at the BBB, you can file a complaint.
Hope this helps.
Imacy, I have replied to you in another thread. Send them

United Federal Bank is not a real bank. They only do collection
United Federal Bank is not a real bank. They only do collections. Apparently they are working with Platinum B Loans, however lmacy2 claims that she wasn't turned over to collections yet.
lmacy2, I do recommend to file your complaints as soon as possible. Hopefully you can also get your loans repaid in a timely manner without having any high interest fees attached. Please keep us posted.

Call from Financial Crime Division
I got a call from Mr Powers and Mr Stewart; they are threating me with several felony charges and wanted over $4000 on an initial loan of $300! When I said I did not have it, they agreed to take $500; I tried calling but none of the 3 numbers I have were any good. They called today and when asked "Division of What?" They told me United Federal Bank. Only they have #'s in TN and FL. I'm giving them any money but I will give them the name of my attorney...since that's why they called in the first place.
