United Legal Alliance Threats and Extortion

This is the complaint i sent to the Better Business Bureau... this company's horrible!

This company uses unethical scare tactics to extort $ from people. "spec agents" call and make threats to take ppl to court. I rcvd 2 calls from this company by 2 really rude reps. 1 was spec agent williams and 1 was spec agent stacy morris, giving me the referral #'s 3mtdl2532, and 3mm6570. and a return number of [protected]. they were threatening to have my attorney return their call or else i would face a restraining order. and that im a respondent in a court case. however when i googled the company they are known to fraudulently try to extort $ from innocent people. i tried to call the number they left but couldnt get a hold of anyone. so i feel that im left with no way to resolve what they claim i've done. please help me in stopping them from making these calls. its very upsetting to hear not just the poor customer service but that people could actually work for a company such as this.

United Legal Alliance Scam-fake collection call

This "company" called my dad (he's in his late 70s) and told him that I was a respondent in an auto accident, that I had 24-48 hours to contact a special investigator named Jackie Smith and said that I should hire an attorney. I haven't been in an accident since 1988 and would have never given my dad's information. This is clearly a scam.

United Legal Alliance Potential Collection Fraud

Received a phone message 11/19/10 from United Legal Alliance special agent John Reese threatening me with a restraining order and lawsuit and affidavit number GCC-1877 with call back number of [protected] urgent. I called back and spoke to special agent Marie Jackson the same day. See said it pertained to a their client HSBC. I do have a card in collections with HSBC, a mastercard. However, I asked her for the debt reference information and she was very evasive, saying it was a "direct merchant card" and that her company is a law office, not required to mail me information before I send them payments on this debt or face lawsuit, etc. I pressed her again for more reference information and she finally gave me three digits that I could confirm were not in my HSBC account number. After I challenged her that the digits she gave me were not in my account number, she said she'd already spent too much time on the phone with me, I should think this over quickly and call her back to make a payment. Well, at this point I am thinking this is highly likely a scam? Filed this complaint online on this website.

Yea! I Just got my call today. I have to assume they are a hit and run operation. Because I tried to call them and no one answers the phone.
I got the restraining order, and all the other Bla, bla bla everyone else got.
Before you get a call ( a real call) like that you will be notified legally. Not with some blow hard calling you.

DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY INFORMATION. NOT EVEN YOUR HOME ADDRESS. They should have that. TELL THEM TO MAIL YOU THE NECESSARY INFORMATION, that they will not do. HANG UP PHONE. Because they are looking for suckers. Do no call them back do not do anything. Flush that crap down the toilet.

Just got a call from them at like 5pm on Nov 29th. Scared me to death!... I didn't answer the phone becaause there was no ID on the phone. The number I was told to call was [protected] The guys name was Craig Jones about a VERY serious legal situation that had been filed against me. There was a "Restraining Order" against me.. He went on to tell me that either my lawyer or myself needed to respond with in 24 hrs. If I didn't then be prepared to show up in court. As there would be papers served on me. Xourse that scared the #$^%^ out of my 14 yr old daughter. They called our land line. They asked for me by my maiden name, I've been married for almost 4 years. Heck I was trying to figure out who would have a restraining order against me. Considering I've been totally disabled for 2 years now, and I've very limited to where I can go.
So I called the number and there was not a prompt that I could really respond to. So I was going to call my lawyer tomorrow and then I thought of googling United Alliance Bank, and I found this site!

Thank you to everyone who has complained about the phone call and the company. Heck I was only in Texas on a lay over for a flight...

Yep, I too got a call from this so called legal firm with same urgency regading a sheriff to see me and a restraining order ..I called this ### company and ran every name I could think of against them..I was told I was speaking to the owner..Who was some ### little broad who I proceeded to bad mouth and call her every name in the book, including the C word..She forwarded my call to another clown who sounded like he came out of the ghetto and I called him the N word to have them just hang up on me!

The key is to ### them out and call the atty generals office for they are violating many collection LAWS!

United Legal Alliance suspected scam/fraud

I received a call this afternoon from a so-called Special Investigator (Kennedy Johnson) who claimed that I had been named as a respondent in a court action regarding a restraining order, told me to contact my attorney and left a file number and a phone number [protected]) for me to call. I immediately called and heard a recording giving options that didn't seem to apply, but tried them anyway in hopes of getting to a live person. I NEVER did, despite several calls. All I EVER got was the recording and after each option was selected (yes, I tried them ALL. I was desparate)! was told to leave a voice message. As I am completely in the dark as to who/what they were about, I was loath to do so and hung up. In an attempt to find some/any information on them, I googled them and stumbled upon this site and LOADS of complaints re: ULA. I am SO glad that I did! The mention of a restraining order unnerved me and I was more than a little upset that this message was left both on my house phone and cell phone. I'd LIKE to get to the bottom of this but suspect I never will -- I thank the other complainants for exposing this scam -- I am in the process of filing a complaint with both the BBB and AG's office in our town.

I also received a call from an Anonymous number, in which a message was left about a restraining order by a Guy named Jae Thomas with a file # as well he left his number which was [protected]). Stating that I had 48 hours to respond with a Lawyer, when I called there was a message saying that anything I said may be used in a court of law.

United Legal Alliance potential extortion

Recieved a massage from "special agent" Mark Wilson informing me that a claiment affidavit had been filled and I was a named respondant in a court action from a complaint regarding a restraining order with a court reference of HRC 2153.
This idea to scam people and this business name orginates out of Sigapor and I still have this persons message on my phone I am going to see if there are any governmental agencies that will persue this as I see this as potential way to fund terorist activity.

United Legal Alliance debt collection

I received a call on my cell phone from Betty Hall of United Legal Alliance. She said it was an urgent legal matter and to call [protected] regarding case B1D1614. I called the number and was told that they were trying to serve me a subpena for an outstanding debt. She said that I had opened a loan with First Bank of Delaware back in April 2008 under my maiden name (I've been married for close to 30 years) and that loan was now in collections. The loan amount was $1, 187.98 but they would accept a settlement of $636.00. I had 24 hours to contact an attorney and have this taken care of. I told her that I had never applied for a loan with FBD and that i would not have done so using my maiden name. She said that she didn't have any other information and that they were just the attorneys handling the case when asked for the phone number of the bank.

A woman phoned my cell from phone number [protected] indicating to call [protected] for further details and stating something about a restraining order? That I need to forward the info to my attorney and referenced a case number. I know for a fact that this is some type of collection agency and they are trying to get money from consumers from old debt and information they have purchased from other collection agencies.

Yep...I got a call yesterday to my cell phone and a previous employer! How embarassing! I will definately see what I can do against them. The message was from Marc Wilson. They gave me a case # and said I have 24-48 hrs to have my attorney contact them. Mumbled something about a restraining order on the message and ended with 'Good Luck'. I returned the call yesterday and was told that I opened an account in 2007. I told them absolutely not! AND they are using my maiden name which I haven't used in years. I became irate and told them that if they didn't stop harassing me, I would file suit against them. Then I hung up. Makes me angry just thinking about it. Who is giving these nuts their credit card info over the phone? They must be successful at their scam somewhere because they keep at it...

Yea.. I got a call from these people too, and I have to admit, they sounded legit. I googled the phone number [protected]. I saw that there are tons of stories just like this one. In my case, I got a call from a Leon Cross "Special Investigator" He left me a message about case number: CHS1639. He said there was a complaint filed against me, where I remain a respondent in a court action and must appear. I was to forward that information to my attorney and respond within 24 to 48 hours. They said that they can show cause to file a restraining order. They left the exact same message on my mother's voice-mail and she lives in a different city. This does sound like a scam to me as well. I left my number on their voice-mail like a ###... so I am excited to see what they have to say tomorrow.
