Unifund CCR Partners Ripped off by Unifund even though I had paid Providian Plantation Florida
I had owed Providian $2,300 back in Feb. of 2004. I was getting refinanced and they were part of the money I needed to pay to restore my credit. Out of the blue, Unifund took me to court for this money. I told the judge I was getting refinanced and he gave me a date to pay them by.
I paid in time but couldn't get him a copy of the cancelled check until the day after court. The judge in this case, the dishonorable Donald Hafele allowed Unifund CCR Partners in Crime to charge me over $1,000 and put a lien on my Condo. I'm sure Hafele is on the take. The culprits for Unifund are Jacobson, Sobo and Moselle. Indidentally a lien in Florida doesn't mean they can do anything. It only looks bad on your credit report, which is why they did it. These crooks are brutal.
In a desperate attempt to show them I had paid Providian, I sent a copy of the cancelled check to them. Big mistake sending my check with my account number on it to these crooks. They went and froze my checking account and I ended up having to pay these bastards over $1,000 for an account that had already been paid.
My hope is that somewhere down the line, Unifund and all the judges who went along with their outrageous charges against people like me and all the rest will spend a good portion of their horrible lives in prison. They deserve to be treated as badly as they treated other human beings.

Sorry for you bad luck with this but I've been in the business before and from what I have read here your problem is that a canceled check alone does not prove that you paid the bill in full. You would need something showing that it was paid. Obviously documents were provided to the court showing that it wasn't paid. Now I'm not going to say it was or wasn't as I don't know but all the canceled check shows is that you made a payment for X amount of dollars on X date and not that the account was paid. Apparently there was something that made the judge believe that it wasn't paid. Judges are a pain in the butt for collection agencies and attorneys when it comes to suing debtors. My only advice is anytime paying off anything keep all documents showing so and next time you go to court for something like this get an attorney to represent you because you may have been able to get it cleared up. You may want to ask an attorney about filing a motion to set aside the judgment though and go from there. Bottom line would be to go talk to an attorney though as I am not one.
Best of Luck
