    Unifin keeps TEXTING that I owe someone money (debt collection) BUT, they never send a letter, call or leave a voicemail, never say what company the debt is connected to, etc. So unless they give me full information, I want their communication to STOP.

    Good morning, I am reaching out to the Better Business Bureau in hopes that they can assist in having Unifin **** stop harassing me. The company is a debt collection agency and they continue calling me looking for someone. I have asked them repeatedly to remove my number because I don't have information about this person. This is the fifth time they have called me and I feel harassed and ignored. I have blocked some of their numbers and spoken to a supervisor/manager twice to have this resolved. I have even left a review and tried to complain about the harassment. They claim they put my number on a "Do Not Call" list, but I have requested my number be removed from their system. This has been ignored. Even with my name on a "Do Not Call" list, they still have continued calling in reference to someone else. I am requesting help from the Better Business Bureau in any capacity that will assist in having my number completely removed from their system due to this harassment.

    I am rejecting this response because: I do not want to be in the system at all. I want to completely removed. Having contact information for me is what started this and me being on the "Do Not Call List" did not protect me from harassment. I want to be removed from their entire system and never contacted again.

    I received a phone call from this company. They refused to tell me what the call was about because it was personal and then read a social security number over the phone without confirmation of who they were speaking with.

    I received a text from this company awhile back asking me to contact them about a debt. I requested to stop the texts. I didn't know what it was. Then I received a settlement offer for an older debt. I was confused because it had been with another company previously. I contacted Unifin to make a settlement, agreed on an amount, gave debit card information because they said they must have it at that time to honor the agreement. They said they would send an email within 48 hours for me to esign to confirm and process the payment. I lost my debit card after making arrangements and I called Unifin to ask them to cancel payment so I could make another arrangement because I needed to cancel my debit card. I wasn't given an option to use a different payment method. I was told they don't give refunds and the rep hung up before I could really say anything. I was shocked at that. They processed the payment anyway, without my signature to confirm. So in addition to replacing my lost card I had to call the bank again to dispute the $500 charge. I went online to research Unifin and saw unfavorable reviews. The rep said they were hired by their client, the other collection company, to ***************. I believed that. But after reading reviews, I see that isn't the case. It's an older debt and the other creditor has been removed from my credit reports. This experience has left me confused and I don't trust the company. I'm awaiting resolution of the dispute from my bank and I don't want to deal with these people anymore. I think they're trying to collect money on old debts and once they have your info they process payments without signature authorization. Something just doesn't feel right with this company.

    Complaint: 20890780

    I am rejecting this response because: Hello,

    I'm so sorry I missed the deadline for this complaint. 

    This company is not right. After making this payment, the next day I lost my debit card at the grocery store and had to report it to my bank. I immediately called UNIFIN asking them to cancel and they said the payment was already processed and they hung up on me. THEY SAID THE PAYMENT WOULD BE PROCESSED AFTER I E-SIGNED A DOCUMENT THEY WERE GOING EMAIL TO ME WITHIN 48 HOURS.

    I became suspicious and felt that they were fraudulently trying to collect on an older debt. They had also texted me awhile back about this debt but I didn't know why they were contacting me so I blocked it.

    Please allow me to respond to this company regarding this matter.

    Sincere thanks,

    Complaint: 20890780

    I am rejecting this response because:    The ONLY reason the $500 was returned is because of the dispute I had to file with my bank when UNIFIN refused to cooperate with me after I lost my debit card I gave them to secure the agreement. When I originally made the payment arrangement Unifin said they would process the payment after I signed an electronic agreement that would be emailed to me in 48 hours. When I called to let them know I lost my card and needed to change payment I was told they had processed it already---prior to the email being received by me. They hung up on me and I became suspicious about this being a legitimate collection. I then contacted my bank to report.

    I have disputed an account that's supposedly in collections with Unifin from ******* Wireless and I have repeatedly said please validate this information and I have had to resolution to this debt on my credit report. I have attempted to go online with a reference letter and number it states account not accessible along with having a different creditor ***************************** and another reference number which tells me to talk to unifin. It seems to me that I can't get clarification to this matter and want it off my report.
