Gotta notice today scared me half to death!A man named Phillip Sinkfiled dressed in casual businness attire identified himself as  process server; brought a notice to my home this evening some type a civil lawsuit of criminal damage to an apartment I had a few years back will.Wtf is going on? Is this real? Will call in the am.

No, you wouldn't.  You're the one who sounds silly with all these lies.

Let me start off! I gotta call about a check fraud case from an investigator. To be honest i got mixed emituons based on theposts here ironically i did my research. Mediations is a cheapwer way attorneys still get paid without working. Pretty much they outource these to Mediations comany to avoid legal hassles.  So afrer contacing Universal Mediation not only were they able to provide me handwritten faced documenatation of my signature analysis and alleged charges copies.  Luckily the attyns were willing to talk to me but my advise to anyone that get notifie they are mediating all charges stem from a foundation listen to the charges briught against you and mediate your case accordingly! Btw i never received  "10 day notice due to an old adress on file for me.

[***]!!!!!!! i did it so what !!!! HAH!!!!

mediations????? I don't care they keep sending me a notice about a civil suit filed against me .what is this about? I had to sign for a certified letter saying call this number.

I received a phone call from an Investigator stating that I wrote a bad check back in '05 to my car dealership. The thing is, my check did bounce BUT I went in the following day and paid cash. I have the receipt and STILL drive my car!!! I told the Investigator the story and he did a conference call with Tyler Bronson at 888-779-8443. They were not rude at all but Tyler said the Attorneys that she contacted me wanted the money and have enough evidence to prosecute me for check fraud. This is where I became suspicious. They only had my mother's address and not mine. She told me I had 24-48 hours to pay or a warrant would be filed through my state's DA. I called my bank AND the dealership and everything checked out on my part. I didn't owe them. I know I didn't want to go to jail, so I took action myself. I think this company takes advantage of people who probably really owes money or just an outright scam. Oh and they were not quick in giving put info either. If these people call you, just do some research.

got a call from Mr. Lucas a "Private Investigator" for State to State Investigations saying that he was hired to track me down regarding a check I wrote to Schwans in 2009.  He said that I needed to call Universal Mediations as they were in the process of obtaining a warrant for my arrest in my county.  So I did my research.  I called Schwans to ask about this and was informed that they had no record of this but have been receiveing several calls from people saying that they'd had this same experience.  The rep from Schwans told me that apparently this company had a record of people who had at one time had an outstanding check from them (as was in my case - which I immediately paid for).  Then this company would call their clients and make these claims.  She gave me the number of Certegy who is who they use to collect on their checks and Certegy verified that I had no account with them.  Certegy gave me the number of the law firm that they do work with who also stated that they had no record of my information in the system.  Bottom line, this is a SCAM, people.  The people on here "testifying" that they were glad that they called have probably been hired by the company. I have turned this over to my attorney general's office and they are investigating this.  One common trend from these companies is to somehow extract bits and peices of your information so that they ultimately sound legit.  Once you start talking, it's easy for them to deceive you into thinking you have a case with them. Do your research and protect yourself!  hope this helps someone.

I had this women Tyler Bronson call me and tell me I had a warrant for my arrest for a check i wrote in 2005 and if i didnt pay 100.00 immediatly and 100.00 every 2 weeks i would be arrested. I explained i could not afford that amount of money monthly. I dont make that much in a month to pay the bills i have. I told her i could pay 50.00 a month. But she still threatened me and said that is not negotiable. Is this legsl?

I got the exact same call, same investigator everything, but the check was in 2007. I did write the check, but I took care of it. I also spoke with Schwans and they said it was a scam. This company is a scam and I really hope people are smart and investigate everything before they pay anything.

I wrote the check i received a letter about a check written in 2011 to champs store. I called my bank to validate the check and everything matched up! So do your own research. I think some in the post on here are guilty people as I am, trying to neglect there responsibilities. Everything has a paper trail !!!

Listen here people I work with Universal Mediations on some of these cases that reach my office and I can truthfully tell you guys that everything is legitimate. There is always proof in the pudding. No company would risk losing thousands of dollars on everything by claiming someone for check fraud and it would be a scam. If an investigator contact you it's because it's that serious that an investigator had to get involved besides a collector and most of the time these cases already went through collections and the client got tired of sending notifications to the address they only had on file for you. YOU CAN ALWAYS DO YOUR RESEARCH BY CONTACTING THE BANK BECAUSE BY LAW BANKS ARE SUPPOSED TO KEEP ARCHIVED VERSIONS OF CHECKS FOR 7-10 YEARS! So for everyone I advise you to govern yourself accordingly, if an investigator call you, it is serious business, by law you can be incarcerated for charges of theft by conversion and theft by deception (google them). So don't be alarmed when someone calls you about a check 5-7 years ago.

Lying scammer shill !

Well, I can tell you that these people are trying to scare you. Investigators are not real investigator that you are thinking about. It's all a scare and all of them make money from it. You would not be sentenced to prison unless the value is high. So tell your WANT TO BE investigators to finish school and become the real deal instead of using the title to frighten others. U fakes!!

IF U ARE INVESTIGATE WHERE I'M LOCATED? SCAMMER

They had an investigator call me saying I'm going to have a warrant and facing criminal charges. I called [***]. I asked for a state issued case number. He didn't even have my info correct! He started stumbling over his words. He then gave me some mediation number. They are just a collection agency trying to scare you.  My so called issue was 8 years ago lol. Don't waist your time with any of this non sense.

I would love to hear more about your case cause i'm having the same problems and I dont know what to do.

Ithis is a SCAm they can't even give me their website so take charges out haha I rather deal n court bfor paying someone over phone when the money was deposit n my account..people hack amd steal identity allday on internet...sorry thompson

Investigator Peterson,

Since you are in the business, I am certain you realize that there are scammers. Please enlighten us in regards to how we might tell a legitimate company from a scammer.

What do you think about the FTC's recommendations?

Can you explain why a Private Investigator would call someone in regards to a criminal charge such as "theft by conversion" or "theft by deception" when only a District Attorney (DA) has the power file such charges. Why would a DA have a PI do their investigating?

I do agree that one shouldn't be alarmed if they get a call concerning a check from 5-7 years ago as in most states the Statute of Limitations has run out, meaning they face no civil or criminal liability.

Bu||sh|t

you have been SCAMMED or you ARE the SCAMMER

NutQraqr, you do realize that you are responding to a shill that posted nearly two years ago, don't you?  There's really no need for virulence here.

As to Universal Mediations, LLC, they seem to have been exposed quite well in a recent series of postings in another thread.  See:
