TAX TO REGULARIZE CREDIT NOTE IS A SCAM

A postal notification sent in the name of the Receita Federal (Federal Revenue Service), demanding that taxpayers pay a supposed Score Verifier Tax, is a fake. The message claims that the recipient needs to pay off a debt in order to increase their credit score. The tax referred to is non-existent. The communication makes improper use of the Receita Federal logo and the false signature of a tax auditor.

The National Association of Credit Bureaus (ANBC) warns that there is no tax on the regularization of credit notes.

If in doubt about any communication involving the Cadastro Positivo or the credit note, ANBC suggests contacting the credit bureaus that manage the Cadastro Positivo directly:

CLARIFICATION ON THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE OPENING OF THE POSITIVE REGISTRY

If you have received notice of the opening of your Positive Register by e-mail, letter or SMS, ANBC would like to clarify that:

The Communication of Opening of its Positive Register was made in compliance with the obligation imposed by Law No. 12.414/2011, amended by Complementary Law No. 166/19, in force since July 9, 2019;

Unsubscribing is voluntary and can be done through the service channels of the credit bureau, which, upon receiving the request for exclusion, is obliged to respond to it and share it with the other bureaus, so that they can also respond to it, within 2 working days.

ANBC is the entity that represents the credit bureau sector and therefore does not operate the Cadastro Positivo, requests for exclusion should be made directly to the credit bureau of your choice, which will notify the others.
