Yesterday I received a call from 3 family members, relaying a message that United Debt Holdings was needing to talk to me ASAP concerning a paday advance loan back in 2008 at Check 'n Go in California. I received a message from Paula/United Debt Holdings to call back asap. So, I called back and no luck getting through. Today, called back and spoke with Diane Chase. This phone number, 313-456-9497 appeared on caller id as Hal Harding Unified Mediations. Since, I did a phone reversal and company name search online and no company (Hal Harding Unified Mediations) such exists and number only showed up as a landline number in Detroit MI. They had quite a bit of info about me and told me that they've been trying to get hold of me since 2008. The threatened me...if I don't get the money to them by 10am ET next morning via money transfer, then they would proceed to send to court and a warrant would be out for my arrest. I asked for a copy of the check and something in writing. She said she had to turn over my file by tomorrow if I didn't pay. She also said that they had tried to get hold of me and refused to wait to receive payment. So, I plan to contact Check 'n Go tomorrow morning and run my credit report tonight to see if there is a debt such as this on my report. if its a true debt, I'm more than happy to pay. It's odd how coincidental it is that United Debt Holdings has been setting up false business names and accompanying phone numbers (in CO, ILL, WA, etc), just as this one...but now in Detroit MI....hmmm...I've also read the consumers rights when it comes to our rights and what the collection agency is rightfully able/not able to do...well, this is sounding a bit suspicious to me. If/when I find more out about this situation, I will post an update. If anyone has heard of this happening to them, please post. Thank you.
I got a similar call. Mine was supposedly with ace checking cashing. Called ace and no record of me in their system. I think these people are scam artists. Don't make the mistake by sending them anything.
I just received a phone call from this exact same number with a message from Diane Chase, saying I was listed as an emergency contact for a particular person, and (in a very firm voice), told me she needed a return call to her "direct office" (with the number you have posted) immediately. So, I was just trying to see where 313 area code was, came up with Detroit, MI, then google United Mediations, and your entry came up....Pffft, like I'm going to call her back...thank you for posting to give notice to this SCAM!!!!
I got a call this morning from family members saying that a Diane Chase is looking for me. When i researched the number provided - i found that there are several reports on that number. "Diane" would not give the name of the company in which she was calling for. HHHMMM???
So I called the Atty General's office and reported it. They informed me that several people have called and reported this issue. Do NOT give out any of you current financial info as far as credit/debit cards to pay a "past bill". It's a scam! I repeat...IT'S A SCAM....
