      5/14/2025 at 10:04 am ****** from United Legal Group called me and left a voice mail about a pending civil complaint (CV *******) because it was reported that I never responded to the 30 day notice they said I was sent. After listening to the voice mail I called the return # ************ and was informed that I had an (original source) Capitol One debt of $4500.00 from 2011 and that they were filing a complaint with Mesa County. I explained to them I never received any 30 day notice. And I wasn't aware of any debt. I explained that I didn't have any credit cards and haven't had any for as long as I can remember, at least 20 or so years ago. She had my personal info, name, birth date, address and kept telling me the debt was from 2011. I kept telling her I knew nothing about $4500 debt from 2011 and that I was 64 was concerned whether this might be a scam. Because I'm 64 and on SSDI my son ****** called Meas County Court Clerk and he was told there was no CV # ******* complaint and to try back on 5/15/2025.

Then, ***** said her manager ******** ****** x332 would not respond to her and still had not issued payment to us.

      Hello,

      Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

      After reviewing the account and speaking with the client, it appears there may have been some misunderstanding regarding the settlement and disbursement process.

      The client is mistaken in stating that we settled the account without permission. As outlined in our signed service agreement, United Legal Group is authorized to negotiate and settle accounts at our discretion based on what we determine to be a reasonable and appropriate amount. In this case, the account was settled for $2,100.00 on 3/24/24, in good faith and in accordance with our standard procedures.

      A check was issued to the client shortly after the settlement, but it appears it was sent to an outdated or incorrect address. Since the original check was never received, we reissued payment on March 31, 2025, after confirming the correct mailing details during our recent conversation with the client.

      We value our relationship with all clients and are committed to resolving any confusion as quickly and transparently as possible. Please feel free to contact us directly with any further questions.

      Sincerely,

      Dispute Department

      Hello CFPB, Someone named *** ****** claiming to be an attorney called my place of employment today claiming I am being sued by ****** Cash for a breach of contract and failed to return funds. His accusation is based on alleged loan from Speedy Cash for Dec. 15, 2022. I don't have an outstanding balance or loan with Speedy Cash. According to 15 USC 1692c (a) Communication with the consumer generally Without the prior consent of the consumer given directly to the debt collector or the express permission of a court of competent jurisdiction, a debt collector may not communicate with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt This is an illegal practice and I reported him to FTC as well. I asked for him to send me proof of any pending lawsuit, previous communication from Speedy Cash, or any documents certified mail or email to prove his claim. However, he hung up in my face and said that he would file a lawsuit with Jefferson County. Please assist with this matter because I am not sure if this a scam or if this is legit and an error on Speedy Cash part. Thank you!

      started using the services of United legal group back in June 2024. one of my customers reached out to inform me that they had paid the payment to United Legal group in April we sent the first ****** we wanted them to work on. I was informed by the customer that they had paid. I reached out to United Legal group to find out about the payment back in Dec 2024 and was told they need 60 days from the time that they recieve the funds. they recieved the funds in November of 2024 so by Jan 2025 it has been 60 at the beginning of February they were just "sending out the check" when I called at the beginning of February. We are almost at the end of February with NO payment recieved & NO Communication from the offices of Untied Legal group. What is interesting is I was reading through the reviews and I am kicking myself for not thinking to read these before signing up with them. I completely agree with all the other review It sounds like a scam.

      Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the delay and any inconvenience caused by the payment not reaching you as intended. We remitted a payment in July, but it appears that due to an unforeseen error, it never reached your account. This is not reflective of our standards, and we understand your frustration.

      Please be assured that we are taking immediate action to resolve this matter by issuing a replacement check as soon as possible. We are also reviewing our processes to ensure this type of issue does not occur again.

      Your trust is important to us, and we value the opportunity to make this right. If you have any further questions or require additional assistance, please contact us.

      Thank you for your patience and understanding.
