UCB - no clue how these people get their information

I live in scotland and was contacted by my sessional workplace that this company called me on the work number. No were has this number as contactable for me.

How on earth do they think I have any debt based in the USA is beyond me.

1-800-890-8738, ext. 63710
They called my sister!  I'm guessing they've tried to call my mother as well.
I'm not close with my family so I feel terrible that they are being harrassed as well.
Did this place ever stop and think that maybe I'd be mroe inclined to cooperate if they didn't harrass me - calling me at work and at home every day, several times a day!!
I answered once, and the person was so horrible I swore I'd never answer again.
I give what I can, when I can.  I'm trying my best!

I received a call from 800-890-8738, this is from United Collection Bureau (UCB) their phone number is apparently outside of 48 states.  They referred me to a girl, she transferred me to a Mr. Garcia, who just transferred me to a Sandra Myers (debt collections) Her phone # is 800-761-5394 ext. 6360.  I had a $40.00 charge from Sears, when I called them, they said they closed the account and Collection Bureau's go in and buy accounts for a very small cost.  The Collection Bureau's then go after people to collect money, which they are tacking on large service fees.  They work on Commissions.

I just got her call. I'm an International student, and I don't even have a SSN. She left her number in my voice mail box, but she didn't mention why she called.
It is 1-800-890-8738, extension 3713.

Received a call from Cornelius to return the call.  I called (because I know I have bad debts / collection items) and was directed to one of his associates.
Very nice lady.  I asked about what debt this was.  She informed me it was a credit card I had with Citi that had been charged off.  She told me the balance.  I asked about payment options / plans / settlements.  Again, she explained everything I wanted her to.

After reading all the posts here I was nervous to call back because I have dealt with some pretty nasty collection people.  But, I was pleasantly surprised at how informative and nice they were.  Maybe its because the calls just started on Saturday.  I'm sure the longer I would have waited to call back the more aggressive they become.

Now I'm just hoping to work something out with them.

Our company policy is that our employess may not receive personal calls nor will we give messages to our employees.  When Mr.Vargas called about one of our employess our receptionist tried to explain to him our company policy.  He got very rude and nasty with her and demanded that she put him through to her supervisor.  When I spoke with him he implied that we were in the wrong and how nasty she was and then overtalked me when I told him that according to the LAW he wasn't supposed to be calling the employees place of employment and I told him that I was going to report them if they called again.  At which point he became nasty with me.  So I decided to not give him a chance to not call back before I reported Him

THESE ARE LEGIT CALLS THEIR COLLECTING  FOR CITI BANK CREDIT CARDS,HOME DEPOT CREDIT CARDS AND SOME SEARS... I HAD A  COUPLE OF CALLS, I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT A PAST DIE DEBT AND THE ACTUALLD REMINDE ME I WAS ALSO ABLE TO SETTLE MY 10500 DEBT FOR 45%

CALLED US (NO RELATION) TO PASS A MESSAGE ONTO THE NEIGHBOR; LOCATED US BY DOING AN ILLEGAL SEARCH OF OUR ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER...

Got a call from this number from a Venessa McPhee with an extension number and  case number and asked for my daughter by name.  Said it was a business matter.  She was pleasant enough, but she definite cannot have any legal matters w/ my daughter so I ignored it.  If anyone knows if any of this is legit, please post. Thanks LEA

I'm assuming it was a Debt Collection call, but the caller was vague in the message "Window of opportunity is getting smaller to resolve this matter" , "Please call back 1-800-890-8738 ext 63915 and reference case #------------ - so I called the number and no one answered.  The phone just rang.  I don't owe anyone.  Is this a scam, trying to get people to send money?

got a call on my son's cell phone looking for a reference for a Roger Green and then called our house phone.  Said to call back and ask for Bobbie Martinez at ext. 63611.  I didn't call back.

They called my cell phone -- a number I never give out to anyone! Telling me to call back as well ... that it is in my best interest to do so... Can you say SCAM?? I called back and it is always BUSY

Total low lifes at this place.  They call and lie.  How they get the numbers of other people I have called is unknown and illegal.  They need to use the mail if they believe they have a legit debt to collect they need to actually go to court.  There caller id is set to show only 954

Received a voice mail from a Bradley Martinez at ext. 3611 for a co-worker.  Caller ID was #954, and when I called the phone number left in the message "800.890.8738" a man answered "UCB".  I told him that I must have miss-dialed and hung up to do a little research and found this site.  If they are legit, they will just have to contact my co-worker directly.

I got a call from them today, I hung up on them and he called back and left his name Bradley Martinez and this number and said that there was a judgment against me for $7000 and court and attorney fees and they would be sending a summons to my home address.  I freaked out.  Thank God for sites like this so I know he's a crock.  Also when he called back the number showed on my ID as 945-809-3472.

They called my sisters in N.D. I live in S.D. They told them it was a legal matter & very important I call.She said an attorney in my town would serve me with papers if I did not make payment arrangements.

I received a call from caller ID 954, I ignored it, as I do all numbers I don't know.  The man who left a voice mail was Bradley Martinez.
He used my maiden name, which hasn't been used for a few years.
He said they've contacted me via mail and verbally, which is ridiculous because all my old mail goes to my parent's house and they always tell me the day they receive something that looks important and I've never received a phone call from them before today.
The number he gave was (800) 890-8738 X3611.

I am not going to call them back and I hope they don't contact my friend's and coworkers as others have mentioned.

call from "Mr. Gail" asking for my daughter who lives out of state.  I took the number to have her call.
2 minutes later he called again.  Then 2 minutes later he called on my cell phone.  I called him myself and yelled that he had no right to call my private cell phone and where did he obtain the number.  I have no intention of ever giving my daughter the message.

I received a call from (954) 236-6083, I did not answer as I have been getting weird phone calls lately from a shady collection agency when I have no over due debts.

The reason I'm reporting the number this time is because E. Solomon, when she called, said "Oh hi *my name* I received your message, in case you've forgotten my office number is 1-800-890-8738 and my extension, of course, is *extension number*."

I NEVER called this woman and I was shocked that the company is stooping so low as to act like she knew me.  
The man that called from that number a month ago, said he had sent paperwork to me regarding the phone call.

I do not like being lied to.

I wonder how long I have to ignore them before they'll get the hint I'm not stupid and will not be returning their phone calls.

That's the guy who call me and leave the phone number and exit 3640. He said sombody has filed a paper aganist me if I don't call them back they will send me to the court. Their massage is not that clear.

This number was on my caller ID. They never left a Company name . Just a message to call.

they called us asking about a neighbor too.  my mom is really pissed that these people somehow got our number.

I received a message about me being in debt and that if I don't call back before 8pm I would have to go to court the next day.  She said, "You are a young person and I would not like to see you have federal problems" She gave me a case number and everything.  Who are these people??????  Has anyone ever called back?????

I got the same guy and said something about the baker family and was going to court with an abandoned account.

i called back and they said i need to pay for my creidt card collections i hung up and they called back and left me a message say i would be served i f i didn't make payment arrangments, if any body went to court or anything please reply so other s know

They left messages saying I was willfully defrauding a bank. Credit card debt is not illegal. They will threaten to lock you up, take you to court, etc. Don't be afraid of them, they violate the Fair Debt Collection Laws!

They called my mother and led her to believe I was harmed or even dead trying to get information.  She called me in tears.  They had left a message for me that same day about,
"filing a motion for willful intent to defraud a bank".  When I called back they were horrible.  I told them I cannot pay anything right now and they said I was refusing to pay.  I was not refusing just unable.  It's about a credit card debt that is on my credit report as being charged off.  I am so upset and feel there is nothing that can be done.

Caller, Alex, called looking for my sister.  Said they were trying to locate her about a legal issue and coplaints they recieved.  They needed to hear both sides of the coplaint.  They requested a call back at referancing extension 63913 case #50391711-H10.
