Your last post indicated that UFS would make the payments on Sept 24 2010. I am only asking because there are so many complaints about UFS it would be helpful to others if UFS actually followed up on their promise to you to make that payment or if their promise was an empty promise. You do seem to be one of the lucky people where UFS has actually paid down your debt with your money.
Did you know you can do the same thing with a credit card company without involving a third party like UFS? You can work directly with the credit card company's hardship program and not ruin your credit in the meantime. You have to close your account in exchange for a good interest rate (usually zero to 4%). But then you have no fee to pay to an outside party and each payment you make goes directly to the debt.

Emailing them worked better than calling 100 times for days. The woman I spoke to was very helpful. She called right after I filed with BBB so if anyone else needs help, try emailing to the address on the company website.
