Thank you for giving Unifin, *** (Unifin) the opportunity to respond to this complaint. In the complaint, ******************* alleges that Unifin contacted him in relation to an account he does not owe. Based on an investigation of the allegations made in this complaint, Unifin believes that ******************* is mistaking the actions of another company as those of Unifin.
By way of background, in an attempt to reach a Unifin customer, our office contacted a telephone number that we understood to be a good contact number for the customer we were attempting to reach. ******************* received two messages from Unifin, on June 25, 2024, and August 9, 2024, intended for that other person. Unifin was not made aware it was contacting the incorrect party until it received ***************** complaint. Unifin ceased all communications to ***************** phone number at that time. Unifin has not contact that telephone number after August 9, 2024. ***************** telephone number has been added to Unifins internal do not call list to prevent future attempts to call the number.
If ******************* has any further questions or concerns, please contact our ********************* at ***********************************.
Sincerely,
Unifin ***.Customer response

I am the President of ************************** and since 2021, we have been receiving calls from various telephone numbers from collection agents from Unifin, Inc. The most call was received on August 15, 2024, from telephone number ************** at 3:30 p.m., CST. When we answer the call, there is a pause, and the caller hangs up on us. I called them back and spoke with a person who asked if she could speak to a "************************* or ***"? This person cannot be reached at our office, she is not employed by us, in the past or present. These telephone calls are disruptive, and we have been the owner of telephone number ************** since 2019. Since our requests have been ignored by this collection agency, we are asking for assistance from the Better Business Bureau in this matter.Business response

I received a letter from Unifin on 7/22/24 stating that I owe them $3998.69 from 04/30/2008 original creditor **** card service with Ref# **********. I have an excellent credit score and have never heard of any of these companies. I do not owe anyone or any company money. I pay off my credit cards every month and I have find it strange that a bill from 16 yrs. ago suddenly shows this **** collector **** in my mailbox. This is obviously either some sort of identity fraud or a mistake . I did not have any loans or credit bills outstanding in 2008.Business response

I continue to receive calls from different numbers from the company Unifin They record the calls but when I tell them that I am going to record the calls they say they must end the calls. They will not give me any info about what they want unless I supply them with sensitive information. I do NOT owe anyone money and they are calling on my cell home and even my wife's cell. I am disabled and elderly and this is constant abuse. It may even be criminal but I have not looked into that yet. I am also curious how they can be a B rating with the BBB if they operate in this manner they should be an F ratingCustomer response

This is not from a 3rd party source. I have no debts with this company or for that matter any company! Please keep this complaint open. I can't understand how this company has a "B" rating if you have so many complaints?Business response

I received an email from Unifin regarding a debt settlement offer for a 1 time payment of $177.81 to resolve my account in full. I reached out to a chat agent regarding making the settlement payment. The agent assured me the account would be settled and made closed once payment is received. I asked if I could get this in writing along with the debt deleted. He said a confirmation email would be sent immediately once the payment was made and the debt would be deleted within 30 days. I made the payment and it posted today July 15th. I did not receive a confirmation email. I checked on the Unifin reference account to see if a confirmation notice generated from there and saw that there was a $95 balance on my account? I also checked to see if my payment posted on their end and saw it within the transaction history. I reached out to another chat agent to confirm my account was settled and to receive my confirmation email. The agent proceeds to give me vague answers by first confirming my payment had already posted and then backtracking by saying I would receive my confirmation email when my payment posts as it posted after the cut off time which is extremely strange. No matter what time of day you make a payment (in this case it was the morning), a confirmation email would and should be sent regardless. It seemed very sketchy. I asked the agent once again for a confirmation email to be sent now and she kept saying it will send in 24 hours which is Unacceptable!Customer response

I filed this complaint myself and did not hire a third party to do anything on my behalf. I attached screenshots of my chat exchange with this business asking for validation of the payment I made to settle this and I also provided the original settlement offer email.Business response

On July 15, 2024, ***************************** made a payment to Unifins to settle the subject debt for less than the balance owed. Unfortunately, Unifin was unable to provide a receipt for payment at the time *********************** communicated with Unifin because the payment had not yet finished processing. Once the payment processed, Unifin issued a receipt on July 15, 2024,via email to the email address on file. Unifin issued a receipt via regular mail on July 16, 2024. Please note that Unifin does not report to the credit reporting agencies, and therefore is unable to modify any reporting related to the subject debt.
