(800) 344-8183

They called today and left a message for someone else, but they had my name - left a case number and an extension.I tried to call back and when it just rang and rang I looked the number up and found this...What are they?  a bogus debt collector?800-344-8183 x 6739 was the number they left.

This collection agency (United Collections Services) called me on behalf of Citibank and tried to intimidate me with their usual illegal tactics. The way they got in touch with me is by calling my Mother-in-law's number (out of all people) and s****ed leaving a case # and call back number. I am contacting my lawyer group and making sure they think twice before trying this a***n.

I received a call from this number.  It apparently is UCB or United Credit Bureau.  I was unable to talk when I answered the phone so I said "I" was not there and could I take a message.  She asked who I was ad I said "her cousin".  The message she left was a phone number and a case number saying she had a warrenty for my arrest on her desk and would issue that warrent if she did not hear from me by the end of the day!!!   When I called her to find out what the matter was about (it was a collection call of course).  I told her that I would definately pursue the fact that she said she had a warrent for my arrest which she of course denied.  In calling the Federal Trade Commission, my only recourse (and yes, this is considered a huge no-no) is to get a lawyer.  Well heck, if I had the money to hire a lawyer.... would I owe this bet.  Just shows me that these rude collectors CAN and obviously do what they are not allowed to do because they know we have no recourse!!  How sad.

Called at 8:00am on a Sa****ay, just an automated voice on my answering ma****e leaving phone number 800-344-8183 and a reference number.  No name, or any details about why the phone call.
