888-572-3987

Showed up as two missed calls on my cell phone's caller ID, no message was left. When I typed the number into my search engine I found this result:

Unifin Inc

www.unifinrs.com

Unifin is nationally licensed and bonded as a debt collector and complies with all Federal, State, ... (888) 572-3987. info@unifinrs.com. Home; About UNIFIN; Services;

I've never heard of Unifin & to my knowledge I have no debts in collection with that company (I have no outstanding undisputed debts that I am aware of & they've never contacted me in writing about any debt as required by law).

my son took a call from Mike and was threatened and screamed at. This man also had my sons social security number. We owe no debt to the complex that he was calling about not to mention we haven't lived there in over 8 years. This is harassment!

Said his name was Steven and that it was a Personal Business Matter. Asked for someone else (leaving name out for security reasons).

My caller ID showed a local number but when I answered I heard a click then ringing like I called them. Looking for someone not living here so I asked their number & was given this 888 number.

This place took $200 out of our account. We have no clue who they are or how they got our information.

Was the supposed theft from your savings/checking or from a card?
Have you contacted your bank or card issuer?
What did they say?

>> Caller: None  <<

If there was no caller, how did you know to come to 800notes?

This might be the number on the statement associated with the withdrawal.

You have an excellent FDCPA case at this point, plus maybe some other things they can be sued for.

You need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation letter (think of it as the best $6.47 you ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notion of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

Web site says they are in Illinois and lists a PO Box:  http://www.unifinrs.com/
BBB gives them an accredited A+ with 5 complaints (Note that upon reading the complaints, they seem to simply say they will stop collection activity, and the complainants foolishly accept that, thus keeping the business from being sued):  http://www.bbb.org/chicago/business-reviews/c ... ie-il-88579219/

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site:  http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

I got a call from this number, they had a lot of my info and I also had a debt that they correctly told me about. Should I be worried.

Got a call from this number claiming a debt was owed from 12 yrs ago. I have never received any mailings from them, when I asked for their name and website info I was told that it was under construction & again asked if I wanted to take advantage of 50% off my amount due by paying in full today? Is this a legit company?

Told me a had an old bill that need to be paid and that it was in collections they had my name the last four digits of my sec number and an old address they said the bill was for I made a payment than canceled my card information

"the bill was for I made a payment"? That makes no sense. I think you missed a few words in that sentence. Along with punctuation in the entire post.

threatening me to pay up on my debt that i do not owe

UNIFIN called me from a different number-----231-819-1218. I have no debt for collection! I did not answer!

Unifin is a low-end collection agency that uses loan sharking tactics to collect whatever it can. It buys mostly old and past statute of limitation debt for pennies on the dollar and turns its minimum wage + bonus collectors to do whatever it takes to collect something. These people don’t concern themselves with following any rules or regulations – I wonder if that is because the company has so many politicians and different levels of government in their back pocket. Anyway, if really want to get rid of them, you have report them to your state’s attorney general’s office. Good Luck.

Hey "Jake", see my reply to you here:  https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-888-665-0374   and here:;https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-952-939-8100#p1892709791725963935

About a bill I o but couldn’t tell me the original creditor name

Creeps are harassing our client.  Sorry friend, we have the law on our side.

These guys take take their orders from Mexico. Want to get rid of them, contact your state's district attorney's office. Don't waste time with the Feds, they don't want to offend Mexicans!

Funny when they call from a local number!!! Spoof much🤔🤬
