I had a similar experience to others in… I had a similar experience to others in receiving a PINK letter and copy implying they are a debt collector and warning in highlighted letters about "failure to call." They list a plethora of credit cards at the top of the page hoping to cover all possibilities (I have never had most of those cards). My guess is that they send this out in hopes of intimidating the recipient, and subsequently extorting payments from them regardless if there is a valid debt. If you receive one of these letters, you should complain about it to the consumerfinance.gov.

SCAM ALERT SCAM ALERT - they send notices that threaten collections but are trying to sell you debt consolidation services. It's misleading and possibly fraudulent. They do not print any license information in their letter which would violate the law for any financial company. I will be complaining to the state financial authority. Here's a tip, if you need to scare and mislead people to earn a living, your business is not respectable. You are bad people. Think about it and try to do something decent in the world. Unemployment is low, you don't have to hurt people to make a living.

UDC- a big mistake UDC assured me I would save $$ . In reality I was harassed for 8 months by creditors. UDC did not have “relationships” with most of these .companies. Most of the CC companies refused to even negotiate with UDC. The money I managed to avoid paying the CC companies instead went to UDC as their “handling fee”. As a result of me dealing with UDC my credit is completely shot for the next couple of years. I could have delt with these CC companies myself and reached a settlement quicker under more favorable terms.

Worst organisation to call into your… Worst organisation to call into your life for help!! All they care is their own fee collection- after two years being with this program, paying them up to five hundred dollars every month I find out that I have none of the credits paid off!!! Calling them first hand was biggest mistake, and recommending them to others make a me feel guilty very much!!!!

United Debt Counselors saved me… United Debt Counselors help me get my life back in order. There are no words to express my gratitude for how they rescued me. I was very embarrassed to admit that I needed help. They were very understanding and never shamed me. I would definitely recommend them for anyone drowning in debt .
