Company: United Collection Bureau, Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
It was in XX/XX/2023 a debt collector called UCB had an entry on my report for {$840.00}. This was the first I knew about this, so I disputed it. Apparently the credit bureaus take the creditors side no matter what, because they left it on my report. Had I been given the chance I would have paid some, but never ever received a bill from these people. From all the complaints I've read about them, neither does anyone else. This is in violation to send this to the credit bureau without contacting me first. Once I disputed it on the credit bureaus I did receive something, but not an invoice or a way to pay it. I guess it was a validation and only after I disputed it with the credit bureaus.

Complaint narrative:
Im a victim of identity theft. I have fraudulent accounts on my credit report. I have disputed and provided all the credit bureau with all the necessary documents they needed. They all responded back saying that the fraudulent accounts were verified with no proof. Please delete all these accounts immediately. 15 USC 1681b is a section of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which is a federal law that regulates the collection, use, and dissemination of consumer credit information by credit reporting agencies. Section 15 USC 1681b specifically addresses the permissible purposes for which consumer credit reports can be accessed and used by third parties.

Under 15 USC 1681b, credit reporting agencies are only allowed to furnish consumer credit reports to those who have a permissible purpose as defined by the FCRA. Permissible purposes for accessing and using consumer credit reports include : Credit transactions : When a consumer applies for credit, such as a loan, credit card, or mortgage, the creditor has a permissible purpose to request and obtain the consumer 's credit report to assess their creditworthiness.

Employment purposes : Employers may request and obtain consumer credit reports for employment purposes, but only with the written consent of the consumer. This typically applies to positions that require financial responsibility or access to sensitive financial information.

Insurance underwriting : Insurance companies may request and obtain consumer credit reports for underwriting purposes, such as determining rates and eligibility for insurance coverage.

Court orders and legal requirements : Credit reports may be accessed and used in response to a court order, subpoena, or other legal requirement.

Legitimate business needs : Other legitimate business needs, as defined by the FCRA, may also constitute permissible purposes for obtaining consumer credit reports. This typically requires a valid reason and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
