Unclaimed Compensation Bureau (UCB)

Hanky_Panky

Anybody heard of these guys please ? Also call themselves 'UCB'.

I keep getting calls from them on my mobile (blocked number) about a car accident claim I made last year. My insurance compnay knows nothing about them at all and I'm wondering how they managed to get my number and other information.

As soon as I challenge them they hang up immediately. A google search doesn't throw up much at all.


Thanks

I have also had calls from them. They originally told my partner the other party had admitted fault which was completely false as its still in dispute. I advised them that my insurance company have never heard of them and he got off the phone sharpish saying he would check with his supervisor.

No such business registered with the MOJ.

I suggest you forward all spam texts to 7726 (spells spam). Your network will then block the number.

I have also had dealings with these. I was taken in first time round - they knew details of the accidents, my name, 3rd party name, car registrations. I proceeded with their recommendation and received a letter from a solicitors firm which is registered - all seeming very legitimate.

"too good to be true" rang in my ears so i called my insurers - they have never heard of the UCB, and their own team would be the ones who arranged for claims of compensation, etc.

They suspect someone is selling claims details to a 3rd party so have launched a data investigation. The 3rd party then provides your details as "smart leads" to no win-no fee solicitors and likely takes a cut.

Advice from insurer was to get as much info as possible and report it.
