The caller mentioned my name and claimed to be a debt collector, but I have no outstanding debts, so I terminated the call and blocked the number.
UCB debt collector calls – what to do?
Summary — +18005561260
Expert Opinion
Imagine receiving a call from +18005561260 and being told you owe money you never had. The voice sounds official, mentions a name like UCB, and leaves a recorded voicemail. Never share personal or financial details until you verify the caller’s identity through an independent channel. Use your phone’s built‑in block feature or a third‑party app to stop future rings. Register the number with the national Do‑Not‑Call list and file a complaint with the FTC or your local consumer protection agency. If a debt is claimed, request a written validation notice before any payment. Stay cautious and keep records of each interaction.

They call me on a daily basis, its really annoying
At 8 p.m. I answered a call that played terrible hold music; a deep‑voiced Hispanic male announced the call was being recorded and addressed me by name. When I dialed the number back, a greeting thanked me for calling UCB, mentioned the office was closed, then said extension 25159 was unavailable before the line dropped. The whole thing felt suspicious—no debt‑collection notice, just awful music that started as soon as I said hello.
