RE: Complaint Number ********
Dear ***********************,
Thank you for giving NCB Management Services, Inc (NCB) the opportunity to respond to your concerns. The debt at issue is an auto loan originating with ********* ******** *** *** (*********) on April 26, 2017, for the purchase of a 2011 ********** ******. You entered into an agreement with the original creditor, *********. That agreement made you responsible for paying this debt and gave ********* the right to collect it from you.
When the account was not paid as agreed, ********* sold the debt and transferred its right to collect, and credit report the debt to NCB on August 27, 2020. Santander may transfer its rights to NCB without your permission or signature. You are still bound by your original agreement to pay this debt. The difference is that NCB now owns the right to collect it from you. NCB is your current creditor. Our initial letter containing the required disclosures was mailed on October 14, 2020. NCB investigated and verified account information on multiple occasions in response to prior indirect tradeline disputes you submitted with the credit reporting agencies.
This correspondence is the first direct request for debt validation documents received by NCB. In a separate mailing to the address in your complaint, NCB will provide debt validation documents which will include a copy of the signed contract, the deficiency notice, a financial transaction history of the account, and a copy of the bill of sale agreement between NCB and *********.
We investigated your dispute by reviewing the information your provided, the information provided by your original creditor and the information in our records regarding the status of your account. The documents we have do not substantiate the allegations in your dispute. Our investigation confirmed the information we reported accurately reflects this information provided by your original creditor, *********.
In sum, NCB had a permissible purpose to credit report your debt, the information we reported was accurate, and we met our obligation to investigate and respond to your disputes as required by law. At NCB, we strive to collaborate with consumers to help them achieve financial freedom. In keeping with this goal, we welcome the opportunity to work with you as there are many options available to assist in finding a resolution for this account. NCB updated our reporting to the credit reporting agencies regarding this account to reflect the status of your dispute. Should you have any further concerns, please contact NCB at ************.

I have explained to NCB on numerous occasional that they purchased a bad debt from **** (*******) and that I've already provided **** the information that my credit information was compromised. They have harassed me and refuse to follow the guidelines in following up with the original creditor. They claim to have completed an investigation but it is clear that they have not because **** has already acknowledged my information and cleared any record of this loan from my report. I have explained to numerous associates this very issue and they refuse to listen and instead try to force me into doing their process. This has become out of hand and I believe I am being forced to take legal action as this debt collector will not stop calling, harassing or sending me information that I did not request and refuses to comply with federal guidelines for collections, as well as a blatant refusal to remove information from my credit report that they have not been authorized to add. Not to mention on the last 4 calls, the various associates have all claimed they have no record of talking to me, yet have claimed that I have requested information and that they have record of speaking with me. So something is not adding up.Business Response

RE: Complaint Number ********
Dear ***** *****,
Thank you for submitting your concerns and
providing NCB Management Services Inc (NCB) an opportunity to respond. This
account was an internet loan originating with ******* **** c/o **** (*******)
on August 6, 2021. You did not ink-sign an agreement to open this account. You
applied online and electronically agreed to the terms and conditions for using
the account. That agreement made you responsible for paying this debt and gave
******* the right to collect it and credit report the debt as permitted by law.
When the account was not paid as agreed,
******* sold the debt and transferred its right to collect and credit report to
NCB on March 31, 2022. ******* may transfer its rights to NCB without your
permission or signature. As a result of the sale, ******* gave NCB information
needed to verify the debt is valid and owed. You are still bound by your
original agreement to pay this debt. The difference is that NCB now owns the
right to collect it from you and credit report it as permitted by law. NCB is
your current creditor to whom this debt is owed as stated in our initial letter
dated April 4, 2022, containing the required disclosures.
NCB respectfully disagrees with the
allegations in your complaint. NCB spoke with you shortly after we purchased
your account on April 1, 2022. You advised our agent that you mailed a check to
**** about a week ago but didn’t have any details in front of you and would
call us back in about a week to confirm it’s been received. NCB never heard back
from you until you responded to one of our emails on September 20, 2022,
stating that this is a fraudulent account. In response to your email, NCB
forwarded to you a “fraud packet” requesting it be completed and returned with
copies of any additional supporting documents to assist in our investigating of
your fraud dispute. These documents were never returned back to us.
The only other occasion NCB has had direct
contact with you was a phone call on May 24, 2023, where you advised us of the
same information contained in your current complaint and then the call was
disconnected. We responded by sending a second “fraud packet” to the address on
your current complaint on May 25, 2023.
NCB has completed a thorough investigation
of your fraud claim, including reviewing the information and documents provided
to us by the original creditor and the information from our own system
regarding the status of your account. Additionally, we have reached out to the
seller and shared the information you provided. ******* responded that your
prior fraud claim with them was denied and also stated you made several
payments to the account. The documents we have do not substantiate the
allegations of your dispute and fraud claim concerning this account.
In sum, NCB had a permissible purpose to
credit report your debt, the information we reported was accurate, and we met
our obligation to investigate and respond to your disputes as required by law. If
you feel there were payments made that have not posted to your account, as you
stated in our April 1, 2022, conversation with you, or should you provide any
additional information or documentation to support your claim, NCB will conduct
another thorough review.
NCB has updated our reporting to credit
bureaus to reflect the status of your dispute. Because you have requested, we
cease communicating with you directly, we will not send you debt validation
documents unless you specifically ask us to do so. If you would like to request
debt validation documents, please contact NCB at ************. You may also
send your request by email to [email protected] or by mail to NCB

[To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, you must give us a reason why you are rejecting the response. If no reason is received your complaint will be closed as Answered]
Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:a month prior to your supposed last claim I spoke with one of NCB’s agents and explained the exact same claim of fraud which was found by **** and removed from my credit. The agent refused to hear and follow up on my claim as well as your organization as a whole as well as a complete disregard of updating and properly maintaining notes in my account. What good is alerting a customer of recorded conversations such as the one when I explained to another one of your agents later in 2022 that I thought this was another account and I had not paid this off. Your notes are incomplete and you have completely disregarded any attempts to rectify this situation in the proper manner. If **** has, after selling you the debt, found that the account was fraudulently opened, it is not for me to prove to NCB that this is accurate. NCB has blatantly refused to follow actual legal collecting actions by researching with the team they purchased. NCB leaves me no choice but to pursue legal action in this matter as they have refused my formal request to remove collections from my credit and to contact the proper parties in this matter.

I have sent 3 certified letters to this company, dating back to late January, disputing an alleged account where they claim I owe money to them. I have asked them to provide competent evidence, bearing my signature, that I am contractually obligated to pay this alleged amount. I also have written correspondence from this company stating they are unable to verify the debt as mine and unable to produce any competent evidence, bearing my signature, that I am contractually obligated to pay this alleged account. Therefore, it is unverifiable information and per the FCRA and FDCPA, any information that is unverifiable should be removed or corrected. Not only do I not recognize this account, but I never authorized the sale of ANY debt to ANY third party. All I asked is for this company to verify that this debt actually belongs to me and is my duty to pay - which they have failed to do. I have attached a photocopy of their self-admission of their inability to provide competent evidence to verify the alleged account. It is my legal right to have all unverifiable information removed from my credit reports. They have violated this right. RESOLUTION: Per the FCRA and FDCPA, consumer reporting agencies must correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information. Inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information must be removed or corrected within 30 days. I have already tried with this company for months and they have been unable to verify the debt is actually mine and was authorized by me. As this is the case, a fair resolution to this issue is the complete removal of this alleged account from all 3 of my credit reports from all 3 of the major credit reporting bureaus.Business Response

The documents do not substantiate the allegations of your dispute concerning this account. Our investigation confirmed the information we reported to the credit reporting agencies (CRAs)was accurate, complete, and reported in compliance with the FCRA and Metro 2 credit reporting standards.
A review of our records also indicates that on November 5, 2019, you reached out to us through your CFPB complaint 191105-4526145, where you confirmed you had an Elastic account that had gone to collections and was sold to NCB. You advised of the financial hardships you had recently gone through, and requested we work with you on a plan to pay the full balance owed. In our response, we confirmed that we had not had the opportunity to speak with you regarding your account and provided a phone number to reach us in order to make the desired arrangements to pay in full. Unfortunately, other than the certified letters disputing this debt, we have been unable to have a conversation with you regarding your account.
In sum, NCB did not violate the FCRA or the FDCPA. NCB had a permissible purpose to credit report your debt, the information we reported was accurate, and we met our obligation to investigate and respond to your disputes as required by law. NCB will direct the CRAs to update the report to indicate that you disagree with the results of our dispute investigations. Should you have any further concerns, please contact NCB at ************.

RE: Complaint Number ********
Dear *************************,
Thank you for giving NCB Management Services, Inc. (NCB) the opportunity to respond to your concerns.
NCB respectfully disagrees with the allegations in your complaint. The debt at issue is an internet loan originating with ************* & ******** (********) on August 10, 2016. You did not ink-sign an agreement to open this account. You applied online and electronically agreed to the terms and conditions for using the account. On April 22, 2019, ******** sold the debt to NCB.
As a result of the sale, ******** gave NCB information needed to verify the debt is valid and owed and assigned to NCB all its rights related to the debt, including the right to collect and credit report the debt as permitted by law. ******** may transfer its rights to NCB without your permission or signature. You are still bound by your original agreement to pay this debt. The difference is that NCB now owns the right to collect it from you. On April 23, 2019, NCB sent you a letter notifying you that NCB is now the current creditor to whom the debt is owed.
NCB investigated and verified account information in 2020 and 2021 in response to multiple indirect tradeline disputes you made with the credit reporting agencies, by verifying the information we reported accurately reflects the information provided by your original creditor, ********. This correspondence is the first direct dispute received by NCB. In response, NCB completed an investigation by reviewing the information and documents provided to us by the original creditor and the information from our own system regarding the status of your account. The documents do not substantiate the allegations of your dispute concerning this account.
In a separate mailing to the address on your complaint, NCB will provide debt validation documents which will include the application, terms and conditions, a financial transaction history of the account and a copy of the bill of sale agreement between NCB and ********.
In sum, NCB had a permissible purpose to credit report your debt, the information we reported was accurate, and we met our obligation to investigate and respond to your disputes as required by law.NCB updated our reporting to the credit reporting agencies regarding this account to reflect the status of your dispute. Should you have any further concerns, please contact us at ************.

On January 31, 2023 I paid a settlement amount for an old outstanding debt that NCB Management owns. I have received no email confirmation (although their online system indicated I would receive one). The payment has cleared my account 3 weeks ago, however, there has been no update to any of the major credit reporting bureaus that this account is paid, and no further communication from the company.Their systems have been down for more than a week now, so I am unable to login to check status and the phone number provided on their website goes to a phone line that goes to voicemail with a mailbox that is full. This is starting to look suspicious and like a scam. I have also attempted to email the company at the email address provided on their website and that also bounces back. This needs to be cleared from my credit report immediately, as I have fulfilled my obligations according to the settlement agreement displayed on their website.Business Response
