Company: USCB, Inc. (CA)

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a debt collection letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX, which stated that I owed for outside referral copay services rendered on XX/XX/XXXX ( listed in the letter as Date of Service ). However, any billing for services provided by XXXX ( including any outpatient services ) are ONLY billed to me via my XXXX online account. This debt collection letter states its from XXXX XXXX XXXX but I called the number ( XXXX ) listed in the letter and its from USCB America collection services, and I XXXX  both address and number to confirm the same. When I called this debt collector on XX/XX/XXXX and again on XX/XX/XXXX I was told again that I owed money and I informed them that its an illegitimate claim because I called XXXX billing directly at XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX informed me that I dont owe anything. I called XXXX billing again on XX/XX/XXXX and the rep informed me that any outside services are submitted only to them, they process the outside providers claim and approve or deny, and will then send me a bill via my online account ( since I am enrolled in paperless ). Further, my XXXX billing representative stated that I owe nothing and shouldnt be billed by USCB ( representing themselves as XXXX XXXX XXXX ) for outside provider XXXX  fees since the claim was already submitted to XXXX and approved FOR a different amount, and there was nothing owed by me for any outside referral copay. I did my due diligence and spoke with both XXXX and the outpatient facility where I had services performed on XX/XX/XXXX and I can confirm that I do NOT owe anything to XXXX or anyone related to my outpatient procedure on XX/XX/XXXX. As someone who knows compliance laws and regulations fully, especially FCRA and FDCPA, I want USCB America collection services to confirm via letter that I dont owe them anything, where and from who they got information that I owe XXXX XXXX when I dont ), and evidence that I have not and will not be reported to any of the credit reporting agencies given that I owed nothing as this is a false claim. My credit history and score are paramount to me, and I take this matter seriously. If need be I will take this a step further and make this a legal matter with USCB ( representing themselves as XXXX XXXX XXXX ) for ilegal collection practices and falsely reporting me to collection agencies for amounts that are not due or owed by me.

I am writing to formally dispute several unauthorized hard inquiries on my credit report. These inquiries are not recognized by me and are the result of identity theft. Despite my efforts to resolve this matter directly with the credit bureaus, they have not taken the necessary steps to remove these inquiries, even after my repeated requests. 

I am attaching an Identity Theft Report as evidence that these inquiries are fraudulent and do not belong to me. I have already requested that the credit bureaus remove these inaccurate inquiries from my report, yet they have failed to act in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

I kindly request that you assist in the immediate removal of these hard inquiries from my credit report, as they are damaging my credit score and were not authorized by me. 

Please find attached the Identity Theft Report for your reference. I trust that you will help resolve this matter swiftly, as I am committed to restoring the accuracy of my credit history.
