"Universal Mediations LLC" has been well exposed on this forum.  This is an attempt to scam your brother.   Please see the thread below (especially the first two pages) and it will give you the information you need on this "outfit" (and I use that term loosely)

This place is crazy! I almost lost my job today because of them! They talked to everyone on my day off , including owners of the company! They told them I was committing fraud and was under investigation! Mr.Gray also said I was being surveillanced and that the company would be held liable. They told them that I would go out in handcuffs and had to return the call in 1 hour. I called them and they said that the owners were liars and that I dreamed the whole thing up. They told me that they would no longer speak to me and that it would go to the legal dept. the me a never asked for my address or telephone number, only my social! By the way those pieces of info have been the same for many years, even while my supposed debt occurred. Mr.gray would not provide any document saying I owed anything. I was told I would receive a paper after I paid saying it was paid. I asked for a supervisor, got a man who acted then said he was just another investigator. I asked for the legal dept, and got the same man who was the supervisor/investigator. I was hung up on several times!! I finally said they can take me to court!!!!

Investigator Peterson apparently didn't do well enough bringing in the money.  Check out this case for non-payment of rent against Tia Gordon, the self-proclaimed founder of Universal Mediations, in which Universal Mediations was also a defendant:

See DeKalb County Georgia Case 12D42791 "4470 CHAMBLEE DUNWOODY RD, LLC VS TIA GORDON"
Filing Date: 12/26/2012 Type: Magistrate Dispossessory
Judge: Magistrate Court
Secondary: Non Payment Of Rent

To see the record of the case:

1. Go to http://www.ojs.dekalbga.org/
2. Click on "ENTER" at the bottom center of the page
3. Select "Other Individual" in the category of user selection, and then click the "Login" button.
4. Type "Gordon" into the last name and "Tia" into the first name under the "Case Search section. (You can leave the case ID blank.) Then select the button next to "all" in the next column under the heading "case status." Then click on the "search" button.
5. A lot of cases will show up. But the one of particular note is case no. 12D42791. Find this case number in the listing and click on it.
6. Note the information in the case information box, the parties box (which includes both Tia Gordon and "Universal Mediations" as defendants), and the docket entry box. You can click on the "consent agreement" text in the docket entry box for more information.

Universal Mediations gets kicked out on its rear for non-payment of rent! I LOVE it!!!

Should anyone have arrived at this thread after searching for "State to State Investigations", "Universal Mediations" and/or "Case Closed Investigations Aaron Rosenthal" because you, your employer, family members, and or neighbors received a phone called claiming you were being investigated for check fraud, you may find the following information helpful

Regarding "bad checks" and the FDCPA, see Federal Trade Commission v. Check Investors, Inc.

Summarized here http://www.foxrothschild.com/newspubs/newspubsArticle.aspx?id=5402

Of specific interest to this thread is the following

"The FTC brought an action against Check Investors seeking to enjoin its abusive and unfair collection activities under the FDCPA and for restitution. Check Investors claimed it was not subject to the FDCPA because: 1) NSF checks were not ?debts;? 2) individuals that bounce checks are not ?consumers? but rather criminals and tortfeasors; and 3) Check Investors was not a ?debt collector,? but rather a ?creditor? because it owned the NSF checks and was seeking to collect on its own behalf, not on behalf of another. The lower court granted summary judgment on behalf of the FTC, and Check Investors appealed.

The Court of Appeals rejected all three of Check Investors' arguments. The Court reasoned that because a check evidences an obligation to pay for goods or services, it falls within the definition of a ?debt? under the FDCPA, even if the individual never intended to pay for the goods and services and knew the check was bad at the time it was written. The Court also held that an individual that writes a bad check is still a ?consumer? under the FDCPA even though the intentional issuance of a bad check is a crime in many states and is fraudulent. The FDCPA defines a ?consumer? as ?any natural person obligated ?to pay any debt.? The protections of the FDCPA do not distinguish between deserving and undeserving consumers."

NutQraqr, you do realize that you are responding to a shill that posted nearly two years ago, don't you?  There's really no need for virulence here.

As to Universal Mediations, LLC, they seem to have been exposed quite well in a recent series of postings in another thread.  See:

http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-920-202-8226/15#p596804374154436288

Investigator Peterson,

Since you are in the business, I am certain you realize that there are scammers. Please enlighten us in regards to how we might tell a legitimate company from a scammer.

What do you think about the FTC's recommendations?
http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0258-fake-debt-collectors

Can you explain why a Private Investigator would call someone in regards to a criminal charge such as "theft by conversion" or "theft by deception" when only a District Attorney (DA) has the power file such charges. Why would a DA have a PI do their investigating?

I do agree that one shouldn't be alarmed if they get a call concerning a check from 5-7 years ago as in most states the Statute of Limitations has run out, meaning they face no civil or criminal liability.

They had an investigator call me saying I'm going to have a warrant and facing criminal charges. I called b***s***. I asked for a state issued case number. He didn't even have my info correct! He started stumbling over his words. He then gave me some mediation number. They are just a collection agency trying to scare you.  My so called issue was 8 years ago lol. Don't waist your time with any of this non sense.

Well, I can tell you that these people are trying to scare you. Investigators are not real investigator that you are thinking about. It's all a scare and all of them make money from it. You would not be sentenced to prison unless the value is high. So tell your WANT TO BE investigators to finish school and become the real deal instead of using the title to frighten others. U fakes!!

Listen here people I work with Universal Mediations on some of these cases that reach my office and I can truthfully tell you guys that everything is legitimate. There is always proof in the pudding. No company would risk losing thousands of dollars on everything by claiming someone for check fraud and it would be a scam. If an investigator contact you it's because it's that serious that an investigator had to get involved besides a collector and most of the time these cases already went through collections and the client got tired of sending notifications to the address they only had on file for you. YOU CAN ALWAYS DO YOUR RESEARCH BY CONTACTING THE BANK BECAUSE BY LAW BANKS ARE SUPPOSED TO KEEP ARCHIVED VERSIONS OF CHECKS FOR 7-10 YEARS! So for everyone I advise you to govern yourself accordingly, if an investigator call you, it is serious business, by law you can be incarcerated for charges of theft by conversion and theft by deception (google them). So don't be alarmed when someone calls you about a check 5-7 years ago.

I got the exact same call, same investigator everything, but the check was in 2007. I did write the check, but I took care of it. I also spoke with Schwans and they said it was a scam. This company is a scam and I really hope people are smart and investigate everything before they pay anything.

I had this women Tyler Bronson call me and tell me I had a warrant for my arrest for a check i wrote in 2005 and if i didnt pay 100.00 immediatly and 100.00 every 2 weeks i would be arrested. I explained i could not afford that amount of money monthly. I dont make that much in a month to pay the bills i have. I told her i could pay 50.00 a month. But she still threatened me and said that is not negotiable. Is this legsl?

got a call from Mr. Lucas a "Private Investigator" for State to State Investigations saying that he was hired to track me down regarding a check I wrote to Schwans in 2009.  He said that I needed to call Universal Mediations as they were in the process of obtaining a warrant for my arrest in my county.  So I did my research.  I called Schwans to ask about this and was informed that they had no record of this but have been receiveing several calls from people saying that they'd had this same experience.  The rep from Schwans told me that apparently this company had a record of people who had at one time had an outstanding check from them (as was in my case - which I immediately paid for).  Then this company would call their clients and make these claims.  She gave me the number of Certegy who is who they use to collect on their checks and Certegy verified that I had no account with them.  Certegy gave me the number of the law firm that they do work with who also stated that they had no record of my information in the system.  Bottom line, this is a SCAM, people.  The people on here "testifying" that they were glad that they called have probably been hired by the company. I have turned this over to my attorney general's office and they are investigating this.  One common trend from these companies is to somehow extract bits and peices of your information so that they ultimately sound legit.  Once you start talking, it's easy for them to deceive you into thinking you have a case with them. Do your research and protect yourself!  hope this helps someone.

I received a phone call from an Investigator stating that I wrote a bad check back in '05 to my car dealership. The thing is, my check did bounce BUT I went in the following day and paid cash. I have the receipt and STILL drive my car!!! I told the Investigator the story and he did a conference call with Tyler Bronson at 888-779-8443. They were not rude at all but Tyler said the Attorneys that she contacted me wanted the money and have enough evidence to prosecute me for check fraud. This is where I became suspicious. They only had my mother's address and not mine. She told me I had 24-48 hours to pay or a warrant would be filed through my state's DA. I called my bank AND the dealership and everything checked out on my part. I didn't owe them. I know I didn't want to go to jail, so I took action myself. I think this company takes advantage of people who probably really owes money or just an outright scam. Oh and they were not quick in giving put info either. If these people call you, just do some research.

Let me start off! I gotta call about a check fraud case from an investigator. To be honest i got mixed emituons based on theposts here ironically i did my research. Mediations is a cheapwer way attorneys still get paid without working. Pretty much they outource these to Mediations comany to avoid legal hassles.  So afrer contacing Universal Mediation not only were they able to provide me handwritten faced documenatation of my signature analysis and alleged charges copies.  Luckily the attyns were willing to talk to me but my advise to anyone that get notifie they are mediating all charges stem from a foundation listen to the charges briught against you and mediate your case accordingly! Btw i never received  "10 day notice due to an old adress on file for me.

WELL I DONT KNOW, BUT I READ ALL THESE POSTS AND I AM GETTING DIFFERENT FEEDBACK.MY SITUATION IS SIMPLE I RECIEVED A MEDIATIONS LETTER ABOUT A CASE OF CHECK FRAUD FROM 08'. I CALLED THE NUMBER ON THE LETTER AND SPOKE WITH A FEMALE BY THE NAME OF LORI SPENCER WHO GAVE ME ALL THE INFORMATION REGARDING THE CLAIM. I WENT TO WELLS FARGO AND SURE ENOUGH THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND THE CHECK WITH MY SIGNATURE THAT SLIPPED THROUGH THE CRACKS. SO BEFORE YOU READ ALL THESE POSTS OF INDIVIDUALS THAT PROBABLY DID WRITE THE CHECK. DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!! I AM HAPPY THAT I DID BECAUSE IF I WAS TO LOOK AT THESE AWFUL POSTS I WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO JAIL FOR SOMETHING THAT I DID DO .

I received a "10 day intent notice" from this company. However, when I went to validate the check with my bank everything matched up. I wrote the check as well as I was able to verify with the check guarantor company the validity of the claim. National Check Trust was the name of the guarantor company that filed the claim.All i can say if  they are alleging things all you have to DO YOUR RESEARCH ON WHAT THEY ARE ALLEGING! Everything has a paper trail.
