United Recovery Systems


Cases Against United Recovery Systems

Perperas v. United Recovery Sys., Inc.,

1997 WL 136326(N.D. Ill. Mar. 19, 1997). Debt collector did not violate the FDCPA by discussing the debt with the consumer’s wife.

Grismore v. United Recovery Sys., L.P.,

2006 WL 2246359 (D. Ariz. Aug. 3, 2006). The court found that the debt collector was calling the consumer in an attempt to collect the debt rather than to harass the consumer. Debt collector complied with the FDCPA by stopping all phone calls after they received the consumer’s cease and desist letter. The court decided that the debt collector only pulled the consumer’s credit report for the purpose of collecting the debt, and they never misrepresented themselves when communicating with the consumer.

A Fraud
I want to say my daughter received a call from this company asking her for my home number and some information on me and she would not give it out instead she called me. Well I was curious as to what they were talking about stating i owed a company over $7,000.00 which I knew that was not possible at all. So I contacted the company in which they were referring about and spoke to them they in returned ran my name in there computer to see if I had any outstanding bills with them and they sad No Mrs.***** you show it all has been paided in full. So I called this company back and spoke to some lady and she was trying to question me on updating my billing information,date of birth, and so on I told her no way Iam giving her that information and if you claim I owe this company that money then why is it I spoke to the company and they verified I did not owe them anything. So mail me all information to me and I will take it up with this comapny. It has to be a Scam going around and I never and will never give out information to people over a telephone. I figured it had to be Identity Thief do to they have not my address nor my phone number and Iam listed in the book so those where all Red Flags for me. Please be aware of this company and Everyone DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY OF YOUR INFORMATION.

Im glad i read this stuff about this company because i was trying to gain employment through them. I will drop that bid and go elsewhere because i dont want to get caught up in that mess. the economy is too messed up for me to get work through them and through their bad work ethics end up having to look for another job due to their ignorance. thank you very much!

Mr.
United Recovery has been harrasing me for 3 years now even though I've been making payments to them for my debit. They call me and bug me for extra money when ever they like. They have been charging me 30% interest for most of those three years but agreed to drop the interest to 0% last April 2008 if I paid them an extra $2,600.00 besides the 400.00 per month already agreed on. I paid them the money on April 8, 2008 and they only credited $1,925.00 to my debit after receiving the $2,600.00 from me and continued to charge interest for two more months. They then tried to extort another $5,000.00 from me and I threatened to sue them because they hadn't honored their agreement over the interest and were now trying to get more money on top of the $2,600.00 they had agreed to. In July 2008, the interest was finally 0% and I've since gotten some headway on paying down the debt. They are now calling my father and bugging him about my debt. They started bugging him 3 years ago when this all started and called him again yesterday because I didn't hear the phone when they tried calling me. My father isn't responsible for my debts. I'm sick of the harrasment. My father is threatening to sue them himself if they call him again.

these people called me and wanted me to give a message to our neighbor, who we don't know, we are new in the area, i asked them how they got my number. they told me it was a private matter with the neighbor, i argued wait a minute you called me wanted me to do something for you and then have the guts to tell me it's private!!! sounds fishy to me, i think i will get ahold of my son who is a police officer and have this investigated!!!!
#7 - lynn - 05/04/2009 - 18:28
called both numbers and said that we are not on file, but wanted all our information anyway. They have already one case that was settled. It was them v. the United States.

Received calls from these people saying they needed more information on my credit application. My husband was furious because we do not use credit cards and he thought I was applying for one. I called them back, started questioning them about their calls and they lady told me to hold on the line. Music came on and she never came back to the phone. Scam - careful people

URS
Okay here is what URS does- there is a bill in collections they send out a phony bill for a company you currently use. Like phone, cable , electric etc... You call them they can confirm your address etc... They are SCUM BAGS and doing something illegal. Thanks Dirt Balls now I have your fake Verizon bill. Off to the courts I go LMFAO- also I have a signed cease and desist and I tape your calls HAHAHAHA YOUR DONE URS
#11 - JOE - 10/16/2009 - 08:58
sure
urs does no such thing if you recieve a call about a debt and it is actually you that they are calling for then you owe it point blank. instead of hanging up in the collectors faces speak with them and verify if you actually owe this then if you dont no problem they will assist you in either getting the account handled if fraud has happened or removing your number from the database so you wont be bothered again. this isnt a scam at all people who open account and dont intend on paying them then get upset when someone asks you to pay are the scammers
#12 - ag - 12/02/2009 - 20:33
its a collection agency
no problems if you actually pay your bills. stopped my interest

United Recovery Systems would never risk sending a "fake/fraudulent" bill to any individual as that could threaten their URS has been in business for approx 33 yrs... you dont get the type of clientel URS collects for by making up debts and stealing Money!! Instead of running from your responsibilities try actually addressing the matter, instead of hanging up and acting like an adolescent ... while some collectors can be firm, all collectors will listen to reason... allow the rep. to verify WHO YOU ARE as reps cannot speak to any 3rd parties on the matter, unless its a legally married spouse . . . See where you stand and tell the rep your situation and they'll do whats best for you... again some may be stern, BUT! playing games and running from bills you are legally responsible for re-payment on is very juvenile... while stalling may seem to work now, it will eventually catch up to you ... in the long run you will either be sued (depending on what state you live in, you financial standing, and the creditors discretion ) or your accnt will be "sold" to another creditor , which in turn adds collection fees,interest,late fees fees fees fees, which you will end up repaying at some point in time... GROW UP... ADDRESS THE DEBT !!!

Business Mgr.
A rep. from URS called me today and ask for someone whom I did know, but it had been 25 yrs. since I had even spoken with this person. They happened to be an ex-relative on my ex-husbands side. When I asked how he had gotten my number he said that person had used me as a referrence, now my ex-inlaw and me were not close at all and new that was a lie...be careful they will trick you in to providing information...because there is no way they should have gotten my phone number confused with anything pertaining to my ex-inlaw...they may have legitimate business on their minds but they are sneeky with the way they approach it...be very careful what information you provide...

To those saying 'Grow up, address your debt!' and 'don't borrow money you have no intent to repay!' are making false assumptions. 99% of people in this position did not willingly default on their debts. The frustration is NOT because they don't WANT to pay their debt + interest back, but because their loans were sold without their knowledge to some unfamiliar company that operates in the shadows (no easy way to check your terms, balance, APR, payment due date, etc), so people simply don't trust them. No one trusts verbal agreements, and paying strangers over the phone. The collection companies will say 'pay this amount and your account will be current', so you pay it, but then they call the next day asking for more. You feel burned and feel like 'fool me once...' That's what breeds this attitude you find 'evasive'. These companies don't want to be open about the terms, and *intentionally* make themselves difficult to contact, and don't have websites like all regular credit/utility/billing companies do where you can view your account and APR and make payments. THEY ARE NOT OPEN AND STRAIGHT-FORWARD ABOUT YOUR LOAN TERMS WITH THEM. They just want you to pay them random amounts of money whenever they call, like some hooker extorting money from a celebrity. THIS is why everyone seems 'evasive'; it's not because they don't feel responsible for their debt and want to pay it, but because there is just no easy way to find out whatever your new debt arrangements are (balance, APR, minimum due, etc), and people are unwilling to give their money to strangers without a CLEAR understanding of where it's going and under what terms.
