United Collection Bureau, Inc Of Toledo Ohio Larry Griffey Harrassing phone calls to my mother, and at work. Threatening to find my home number. Gave my mom a case#. When I called back and told them I was going to call Citi Card they hung up on me Toledo, Ohio
I recently was divorced and I am trying to get my finances in order. My citi card was tuned over to United Collection Bureau. Since I've divorced my home number has changed as well as my cell phone number. This collection agency called my mom's house and was very rude and gave her a case number and scared her to death. She called me and I returned their call. When I asked them what this was in reference to they finally told me. I told them I would call Citi Card myself. The lady I was talking to hung up on me. I called Citi Card and explained to them my situation and told them in 1 week I would be making the necessary payment to bring my account current. They said if I received any more calls from UCB I was to tell them that it had been taken care of. Today I received a call at my work, which they have been instructed not to do. I told the lady that called that talked to Citi card it had been taken care of. She said that I had to go through them now. I said you're not suppose to be calling me at work and I don't want to discuss this with you. I have spoken with Citi Card and they instructed me to tell you it has been taken care of. She said my manager wants to talk to you. When he got on the phone he tried to act like he was actually helping me out. I told him the same spill and he replied they need to send us a message to have us stop calling you. He then asked for my home number and I told him I was not going to give that to him and he said "WE WILL FIND YOUR HOME PHONE NUMBER AND CALL YOU". I ask him for his name because I was going to report them for harrassing me and he told me his name was Larry Griffey.

I would tell this agency this flat out . I will only communicate with the original creditor not you. The next time you contact me at my employment I will report you it is against the law for a bill collector to call you at work

CoopMag:
More than likely your account from CitiCard was sold to United Collection Bureau.
Your account with CitiCard was more than likely sold off, especially if you went 6 months or more without making a payment.
If this is the case you must deal directly with them, and not CitiCard. I would call CitiCard back and verify if they just placed the account with them for collections, or if United collection Bureau actually bought the debt.
The answer given will determine your fate.
If they placed you in collections, but CitiCard still owns the debt, then they would need CitiCard to file suit with you.
If they sold the debt to United Collection Bureau, then they can file suit against you themselves.
your failure to work with them could force them to file suit against you. BEWARE, in the State of Flordia, wage garnishments are legal.
Wages: 100% of head of family's paid and unpaid wages up to $500 per week for head of family (deposited into bank account for up to six months) [222.11]
This statemnt means they can take upto 500 per week from you. This is a powerful reason for them to sue you.
I would give them your phone number immediately, and work with them, otherwise, you may end up living at home with your mother, because you will be working for the collection agency.
