Asking for too much money I never got fro a payday advance company
Complaint Rating:  89 % with 9 votes
I recieved a phone call at work. They had a strong Indian accent. Telling me a company had filed legal charges against me. They said they wanted to help me resolve this legal matter. They said they were from the office of Robert Matthew. I didn't pay much attention to them so by Thursday 8-28-08 they started calling me at 5:30 am. I was on my way to work. And they called my work around 6 - something in the morning. When they called me at my cell phone I told them it was against the law to call that early. They just said " I apologize for that." To make a long story short... Around noon they called me pressuring me to pay them 400 dollars out of 800 and some dollars. I told them I wouldn't pay them. They transfered me to their SR. Investigator or Rep. I don't remember the word they said. He asked me if I knew how my credit was.. I told him I knew it wasn't that good.. He sarcastically told me " No its not good, it's pretty bad.. He said that if I didn't pay he would download the case and it would go to a small claims court. and someone might be waiting for me at my house or they could go to my workplace. so that scared me a bit and I just thought to myself, , just to pay it and then investigate. So I paid them $400.00 and now they want me to pay $400.00 more next week. Is there a way to sue or get my money back? I can't believe there are people like this out there...

I got the same phone call from an Officer Jimmy Watson (had an Indian accent) When he answered the phone he said Hello not Hello this is United Legal Department. I reported them to the Texas Attorney General because I never took out a payday loan and they had a lot of information on me.

I received the same phone call today. They actually said I had to fax them an apology letter stating that I could only pay 1/2 today and would pay the other 1/2 on my next payday. I told the lady I would have to call family to borrow the money and I was driving to work. I let her know I would call her when I arrived. She made it very clear that she would sign the affidavit (which she could not fax me) if I didnt give them the money. I was unbeliveably scared, but wanted to check out the validity of the company - sure enough I found your post and filed fraud alerts with all 3 credit reporting agencies and notified my bank not to accept any incoming debits without my approval. I'm not sure if they will try to debit, but they have my bank account number and wanted to be safe. I'm sorry this happened to you but I really appreciate your post and this website for preventing anymore money from going to these people.

I got the same exact phone call with the same exact Indian accent. They threatened to have me arrested if I didn't pay for an outstanding loan from Cash Net USA. I in turn called Cash Net USA for more information and they told me that there is a company by the name of United Legal Department calling their customers with the same thing and I should contact the police.
I advise anyone who has gotten this call to d othe same.

i got the same phone call on 9-22.08 and they said that i need to pay them 690 or i wll be arretsed in 2hours and lock away for 2years. they had he same indian accent, then he told me that he would speak to someone in the courts t try to he lp me and then he offer to help by apying two hundred dollars to the court from his personal debit card, something is not right. he said he is calling on behalf of midlandmarketing, from my knowledge i paid them off becaus my loan was from in july 07 and i sure remember them debiting my account for 90 dollrs finace fee then they started to take there fee. something is very fishy . don't give the no more money because when you try to call thm no answering machine with the comapany name ever comes up that's strange then on top of it thay ae nasty. the number that i have for them is 646-213-1090 or 732 -312-5536. a d second they are not to call your house at 5am then they are very rude and want to hang up the phone don't give no more money they are trying to make something for themself...also iam requesting a opy of my bank statement so i can check because i know i paid them off.

just received a voicemail from a "Mike Williams" with a very thick Indian accent. He foolishly stated "a lawsuit has been filed against you, and you need to call me back today at 800-717-1708, extension 1002." This is interesting, not just because I am a lawyer but also because I have not been served with a copy of the complaint or any other documents associated with this alleged debt. Something is rotten in Denmark. C&D is on the way with an FDCPA complaint to follow in federal court if these individuals do not comply.

This company is a total scam, I am a manger at a collection agency and I attempted to locate this business off all the numbers they called me on, as well as "United Legal Departement" and could find nothing on this business existing. If anyone manages to get a correct adress or phone number for these people please email me, thanks.

**UPDATE**
Hi everyone. Its been 63 days since I first posted my comment, the day that ULD got me. I received another phone call today from an Officer Adam Smith at 518-212-1618 ext 1059 - I didn't answer my cell so he left a message and called my office. He was very rude to my receptionist and she gave him the "what for". About 30 min later he called my cell again. This time I decided to have some fun. He asked me to verify my name, which he couldn't even say correctly - April, oh what a hard one to pronounce! Then he proceeded to call out my social security # and I stopped him right there. He got angry at me and told me not to speak until he finished. WRONG thing to say to me! I went off on him bashing his personal self (just to get him mad) and accusing him of being a terrorist. I asked him where he was hiding Osama BinLaden - He didn't like that at all. I told him "this is Bull****" and he whispered (where his boss or whomever couldnt hear) "you are bull****. I laughed so hard and he got madder and madder. He began yelling at me saying that the call was recorded and that since I said bad language to him I would be behind the bars in 24 hours. "Oh good" I said, "why dont you come arrest me yourself, dont you think that would be fun". I laughed like a hiyena and hung up on him. Thought ya might like that!!
