    They insisted I give personal information over the phone and told them I won't do that. They said it's a "secured line". I couldn't find their website easily, to log in with an account. I would recommend customers to check credibility of this company before using. They called my cellphone and I don't know how they got my information. My caller ID also showed that they also called from different states. FRAUD if you ask me ..

    Hello John - So sorry to read your post. It's not possible to look up your account without your last name and personal contact information. If a representative called you on your mobile phone, it's because you provided your phone number and permission to call you when you completed a credit application and signed a contract to make a purchase with monthly payments from a UCFS business partner. Our website is www.ucfs.net, and you can contact us at 800-338-6507 or customerservice@ucfs.net.

    Hired an attorney for tax purposes. They sent me to this company to get money to pay them up front. The Tax attorney for tax did not do their job so now I'm stuck with this loan. I skipped a payment because I had to hire another attorney so I asked this company to defer a payment to the end. They refused! I am paying the highest rate you could pay in the state of Illinois and now they're charging me late payments on top of it. This is the only company that I ever dealt with that wasn't willing to work with you when you had a issue paying.

      Horrible! I'm paying for something that I never see! They promised me they will help me with my timeshare relief and it became to be a nightmare, I don't recommend them at all, no help at all, the lawyer they assign me was never in touch with me, I received a email back staying that we didn't have any business together. Meanwhile I'm paying to USFC EVREY MONTH FOR NOTHING. I'M GIVING AWAY MONEY THAT I DON'T HAVE, I HAVE TO WORK 2 JOBS TO PAY MY BILLS AND PLUS ANOTHER BILL THAT I WAS NOT EXPECTING, BE AWARE BECAUSE THEY MAKE YOU SIGN AND PROMISE THEY WILL HELP YOU AND THEY SCREW YOU UP. I CAN'T GET MY MONEY BACK AND I CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO GET OUT OF THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE TO PAY AND PAY AND KEEP DOING PAYMENTS. I DON'T SEE THE END OF THIS.

      I purchased a mattress through Exclusive Furniture. The finance company they provided was United Consumer Financial Services. Instead of just sending you the information to start making payments, they sent a contract requiring a phone and verification on June 23. After calling three times, being put on hold for long periods, I finally got the verification. I was told I would get the code to sign up on my account by that Friday. That code never came. I cannot get into my account to make a payment without the code.

      I called back many times, only to be put on hold indefinitely. I called back and left messages. I have sent multiple emails to their customer service email, all with no response. I know I am late with my payment, but there is nothing I can do. I will be retaining an attorney to file suit against this company so that I can post that to my credit report, which I have worked very hard to have a good score. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY.

      Hello - A consumer's first payment is due 30 days after a contract is signed. If you were trying to make a payment too soon, it perhaps was the reason you could not access your account. So sorry for the inconvenience.

      STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! This company is what you would call a predatory lender. They have horrible customer service; they say a supervisor will have to take care of that when they tack on late fees for their negligence. They reported to the credit bureaus that my payments were late when indeed for some reason they charged off my account. Being a good consumer, I called to find out why my payment was not taking and found this out. Don't you worry though they pulled it back out of charge off and added a couple more hundred dollars to my balance and horrible customer service again.

      Hello - UCFS is required by law to report payments made - or not made by consumers Please reach out to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) for the reason this occurs. UCFS will charge off an account when payments are not made. Again, contact the CFPB for policies. And, if a consumer stops the automatic payment in the portal, that could be the reason a payment was made. So sorry to read your post, and hope you got this straightened out.

      I paid off an account in full, yet monthly payments were deducted for two months (and counting) after a zero dollar balance was made. To be clear, the first erroneous payment was deducted from my account THIRTY days after I paid the balance in full. The second erroneous payment was deducted from my account SIXTY days after I paid the balance in full. Every time I call, I am told "the supervisor has to handle it". Yet the supervisor has NOT handled it and I have NOT received a refund. I am told "I sent the supervisor an email, she has to do the refund, those are the rules". The supervisor is either a fictitious character or is not doing her job and this business has STOLEN my money. Also, their website is horribly antiquated. Do not recommend them EVER.

      This company does not disclose their hidden payment guidelines. If you think you are paid and full, you are mistaken. They will tell you that you still owe them and then forget about having autopay set up because they will tell you it does not automatically take any money out. To me it is very misleading and unfair. They are now asking for over $2400 when they already received over $2600 for because of a $138 difference which is still confusing when I paid the full amount showing was due. Do not trust this business! I am now struggling to pay over $1,000 by this month due to $138 that they will not accept and interest will ensue asking for over $2400 if not paid by the date.

      This company has mismanaged my account for three years. They repeatedly have marked me late with the credit bureau even though I'm on Autopay. They just don't bother to take out the money so they can charge late fees. They overcharge and don't fully disclose terms. Now I'm trying to pay it off. They said my payment was declined, which my bank disagrees with. I made another payment. Now they're charging me $1400 to close it. I am beyond angry.

      PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. I have become a victim of one of their scams, I own a small convenience store and was approached by a RHINO MEDIA GROUP rep to enter into a contract where they would provide us with a tv screen to display in my shop and they would generate adverts based on info we provide like special offers etc, they told us that it’s a 36 month contract and that £300 would be taken from my account by this finance company and that they (Rhino Media) would put it back on a few days later. This started in March 2019 and I received 3 payments back in total. Rhino media have stopped paying me and now appear to be going h bust. I cancelled my direct debit because I simply can’t afford to pay £300 a month I thought I was getting something for free?!

      UCFS started hounding me with calls threatening legal action saying I still have to pay, and it’s only then that I found out if have an £8000 outstanding loan balance?!! For what exactly?! I have no idea?! The tv is worth £500 at most, this is daylight robbery and UCFS are actively supporting scam artists and crooks! RHINO MEDIA has been trading less than a year, so how and why did UCFS loan this company millions of pounds? They knew exactly what they were doing! There are over 1700 of us affected by this scam all over the UK.

      I financed the purchase of a Trusii H2 water machine through a very high interest loan from UCFS. I only did this because of promise of reimbursement from Trusii for my loan payments. However the machine and Trusii both turned out to be scams. The machine doesn't work as advertised, needs filters which the company won't provide, and Trusii has stopped paying without cause.

      I complained to UCFS months ago, asking this Ponzi scheme loan to be forgiven, but UCFS has only treated me very rudely insisting I have to pay even though the machine is unusable and sold by a scam company. This Trusii case study scam has gained national attention via a CNBC article, etc., and other loan companies have forgiven all Trusii loans in light of this. However, UCFS seems to only be interested in money, not their customers. They have refused to forgive the loan. They have also stated they own the entire sales contract, and I can't return the machine to Trusii. It's criminal.

      Now I am forced to continue paying for this loan while UCFS claims to be 'investigating' the issue. It seems their plan is to just string me along until the loan is paid off. They seem to have no intention of doing the right thing. They won't even do me the courtesy of putting my loan on hold while they 'investigate'. This company is actively supporting scam artists, and denying help to its victims. Do not work with this company. They won't even consider listening to you unless you have a lawyer force them. Stay away. Go to a lending company that actually treats its customer like human beings, like LendingPoint for example (who is one of the loan companies that has forgiven all Trusii loans).

      This company is truly disgusting. I've had lodged a formal complaint about my Trusii H2 molecular hydrogen machine to UCFS 3 months ago. They have not helped whatsoever. Upon calling them multiple times, they have denied any involvement with the product, when in fact they took over all forms of rights. They claim I need an attorney in order to speak with them further. Wow, what a response in order to not provide me any assistance. Do not use this bank, they don't deserve your business. They actually deserve to be shutdown.

      I financed the purchase of a Trusii hydrogen water machine through UCFS, however the machine made both my wife and I extremely sick. Trusii sent me a return shipping label to return the machine, which I did, however UCFS is still making me pay back the entire loan (plus interest) even though I returned the product. It's purely criminal what they are doing. UCFS refuses to go after Trusii for their money, refuses to cancel the loan, and instead comes after me for their money even though Trusii has both their money and the machine. I've reported UCFS to the FCC, the BBB, and the Attorney General in Ohio, and I will never do business with UCFS in the future.

      I purchased a molecular d’hydrogène water treatment from TRUSII in March and got financed by UCFS. The machine is already out of use producing moldy water and no Hydrogen anymore. It happens that TRUSII company is a scam, CEO is already having a lawsuit from previous business. UCFS didn’t do their research.! They allegedly purchased the sales agreement from Trusii without notifying me. They kept denying forgiving My loan by saying my agreements with Trusii and UCFS were mutually exclusive, and now stating that they control the entire sales agreement and Trusii has no authority to accept the machines back should I as the consumer decide to return it as it is defective, as it has 3 years warranty.

      On the other hand Trusii stays silent not sending technicians to fix the issue. I have this useless machine which will cost me with credit $13.000.00, I Called and emailed many times UCFS, to report the problem. They said they have nothing to do with the seller! On the other hand TRUSII company stays silent and UCFS is still receiving payment. What do they think they are? A charity which I give $365 monthly for nothing? This lender is not a consumer friendly company, don’t use them they will not support you.

      United Consumer Financing is the only company that I have receive financing from that I will never choose to receive financing from eeeveeerrr again. I agreed to gave them finance me for a Kirby vacuum. After missing one payment I agreed to have them take well over the minimum payment out each month from my bank account so that I wouldn't miss another payment and to pay the debt off in a manner timely for me. This way of paying was discussed with an associate in February of 2018 who arranged it and said my last installment in July 2018 should be sufficient enough to clear the debt.

      In November of 2018, I get a call from this company saying the debt was unsatisfied. I still owe more. They couldn't clearly explain what I was previously told. I asked, "Why would I just get a letter 3 months out from a month I was told would satisfy my debt saying I still owed." Financial company's credible ones send you a monthly note. It doesn't matter if it is for a credit card, mortgage, credit card, etc., if you are ahead or behind they report next month where you are in the process. Well, this company doesn't do this and I believe it is due to a ploy by them to have people pay more.

      I have read over 100.00 complaints. 61 of them related to how this company's financing works and many consumers are saying the same and gave the same complaint that I have. We all can't possibly be lying. I think this company's practices need to be investigated like W's. There is an underlying problem that is bring overlooked. How are they even allowed to do business financially if they aren't accredited?
