For the past 3 months (possible longer) that I can tell we've been being billed from a company called USBI, Tralee telephone co. My husband gives me the bill and I usually pay it by phone. Well like a fool I never questioned it until this month and got to checking the billing wondering why it is so high. That's when I discovered that we were being billed by this USBI, Tralee telephone co., 1888-481-8724.
I have no idea who they are and why they are billing us. The bill does not reflect any calls made to anywhere, just a monthly fee of 13.90, USF charge of 1.21, Federal excise tax. 45 and Montana telecommunications excise tax. 57 for a total of 16.13. Their is no address or information about this company other than the name, web adress and a telephone # on our bill. I researched their Website and all I could find is the following information. Not helpful.
What is USBI?
USBI is a billing clearinghouse that processes information on behalf of various long distance service providers. We are not a long distance or common carrier.
What is the USF charge?
The Universal Service Fund (USF) is used to provide discounted telecommunications services to schools, libraries, and low income consumers. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ruled that all carriers who provide telecommunications or cellular services to the public are required to contribute to the Universal Service Fund, and these costs may be passed back to the customers. These charges may be reflected on the bill on a call-by-call basis or on a summary of several calls.)
I then found your website with the information about this company being fraudulant and put in this report. I am going to contact our Attorney General, and the Fcc also. Please, if you can be of any help it would be appreiciated very much.
