  Cbv collection is harrassing me over a non existent debt. Claiming to send me to bankruptcy when I acknowledge no debt from who they are trying to collect for. This is clear harrassment and trying to intimidate me with falsified claims of a debt from a company I have never dealt with in my life. They are claiming to send me to bankruptcy and take me to court for a non existent debt that is past any statute of limitations. Please stop this harrassment now.

  Thank you for your communication. 
  

  CBV believes in good faith the consumer is the indebted party. While the Limitations period may have expired for some collection strategies, agencies are not precluded from certain actions to collect debts. 
  

  The consumer should contact an agent to determine what the next best steps should be to come to an amicable resolution.

  Complaint: 21901908
  
  I am rejecting this response because:
  I have no debts to any company at this time as per my TransUnion and Equifax reports. As well as having NEVER done business with the company they claim that I am indebted to. This is harrassment and I have escalated this to the Office de la protection du consommateur Quebec, as to me this is incorrect or fraudulent.
  Sincerely,

  Thank you for your communication.

  As the consumer states they have escalated their complaint to a Provincial Regulator CBV considers the matter closed with the BBB.  Further communication on this platform would be inappropriate.

  Complaint: 21899632
  
  I am rejecting this response because:
  This was dealt with many years ago and I did not owe any money.  You have not provided a debt validation form or any other documents because they do not exist.

  As stated, a long time ago " take me to court" but this never happened because of the above. Further to this it has been pointed out that even if your claim had held weight the Statue of Limitations has expired several times over. Any further actions on your part will be dealt with thru the courts.
  Sincerely,

  CBV believes in good faith the matter is due and payable in full. Should the consumer have documentation to show otherwise we invite him to supply same for review.  There is no prohibition on collection agencies attempting to collect aged debt in the consumer's home Province. 

  Collection efforts will continue and the consumer can chose to escalate as he sees fit.

  I am receiving calls on a work phone line for a previous company employee, ******. With them not working here anymore, the calls are wasted time. They call 3-4 times per week. I would like cessation of these calls.

  The complainant has not provided a complete telephone number to allow us to initiate an investigation into their concerns.

  CBV requires the telephone number we are calling.

  Business response

  Thank you for supplying the correct telephone number to assist our investigation.

  We are unable to locate any file with the telephone number that is linked to a "******".  Our suggestion to the complainant is to connect with an agent the next time they receive a call and inform the agent we are calling an obsolete number or, in the alternative, ask for a supervisor or manager for assistance.

  I am rejecting this response because: If "******" wasn't found attached to that phone number, what about "*****"? If not, I will work my way through the voice prompts to talk to an agent.

  Business response

  Thank you for your communication.

  We were able to locate an account with a "*******" associated to the telephone number.  That account has been updated to reflect the number is no longer associated with the indebted party.  It appears the indebted was, or is still, using the former place of employment as a contact with their creditors.

  They keep calling me saying that I owe a debt, even though the name is *************** **** and that is not my name. They are also negatively impacting my credit score on Equifax and are not fixing it. This is causing significant impact to my financial wellbeing and they need to remove me from collection.

  CBV Collection services keep calling my number and leaving voicemails trying to reach out someone named ********* who I don't even know. I don't know how my phone number ended on their database as I only have 2 years with my phone number and i have never been involved in something that would need collection services. I demand to get my phone number removed from their system as they are calling the wrong party.

  It would appear the indebted party was, or is still, using the complainant's number as a contact point with their creditors.  We have updated all open accounts to reflect we were calling the wrong party.  It is possible new accounts will arrive in the future with the telephone number in question, and dialing may resume.  If this occurs the complainant should simply notify the agent or a manager that we are calling the wrong party.

  CBV and its vendor partners are not obligated to cease collection efforts based on the complainants commentary. 
  

  The complainant should contact the law firm to avoid any potential extra expense or embarrassment.

  The company has been calling me daily for months, over a debt owing from over 20 years ago ! This debt was also covered under a bankruptcy settlement I did over 15 years ago. They literally call every single day, and leave voice-mail messages. When *** called to inquire on what they wanted, they have even hung up on me when I didn't want to divulge too much of my personal info (fear of scammers). This company should not be allowed to operate in such manner.

  There is no prohibition on a collection agency attempting to collect aged debt in the complainants home Province. 
  

  If the debt in question was in fact included in a bankruptcy proposal the complainant should forward verifiable documentation to prove same. Until such documentation is received our efforts will continue.

  I have been in collection with this Agency for a bit now, I am currently recovering financially from a very unhealthy relationship in which my ex was charged.I understand that I owe this money, and I am not trying to get out of paying my debt. I've talked with an agent quote a few times and have even made some payments up until now.I called today because I've been harassed for the last couple of months, receiving upwards of 8 calls a day and it is becoming very overwhelming and detrimental to my mental and physical well being. Rarely are messages left, I have a full inbox of silence some days. It has reached a point where I don't check my voicemail.I reached out to the company today to request they stop calling me throughout the day, it distracts me from my work and is going to cause me to lose my employment and lose any income to pay them. When calling I explained that I receive 6+ calls a day during work hours, and that it's really frustrating and making me withhold from paying them.I requested they call me after certain hours as that's when I'm available and able to take phone calls. I ignore all my personal calls through the day as my job requires my undivided attention.The man I was speaking with was very rude and condensending, I told him it is harassment to receive this many calls a day and he got very irate and started raising his voice. I disclosed to him that I have a family of lawyers and know that what I am saying is true. This provoked him even more and I was told to reach out to a lawyer then. I would prefer not to proceed with legal action, as it is time consuming and feels unnecessary considering I had a simple request.I feel as though they should be trying to work with me. Instead of bullying me and causing me to have breakdowns after my workday.I feel it is important to also add that I have been settling other debts in the meantime, with friendlier companies as they don't lead to me feeling stressed and bullied.

  Thank you for your communication. 
  

  Until the account in question is paid in full there is no obligation for CBV to limit or cease collection efforts. 
  

  Further, a review of the account confirms that all contacts with the consumer have been within set limits under legislation. For clarity, contacts are generally defined as instances where a consumer speaks with the collection agency. 
  

  The consumer is free to pursue litigation to seek relief.
