I’d like to have CBV collections removed from my credit report as I’ve paid off the balance in full this past July. My credit score updated in October and it’s still showing I owe a balance.Business response
19/10/2021
Thank you for contacting our office. I have had the opportunity to review an account associated to this consumer. I do see payments on the account, however the file has a remaining balance, and is still showing open. In regards to removing from the credit report, collection items are not removed from the credit reports, they are updated to reflect the status of the account, such as settled in full or paid in full. If the consumer has a release letter showing this account has been paid in full or settled in full, please forward it to us for review and we will ensure the status is reflected within the credit report.
If there are any further questions please contact our office.

I am rejecting this response because: there is no remaining balance?

CBV has requested a copy of the release letter or any correspondence showing this account has been paid and has a zero balance.
In reviewing our account, I don't show this account as closed and paid, or alternatively, I don't see notes regarding any conversations regarding full payment of this account.
Have you spoken to someone regarding this account, was a settlement arranged?
CBV would like to assist with this matter, however without further details we can only provide you with the details we have on record.

Thank you for contacting our office regarding this account.
I have taken the opportunity to review the account, and the concerns the consumer has noted above. This account has been placed on hold and no further calls will occur, however in reviewing the notes on the account, the consumer has completed CBV's Right Party Verification process, therefore the consumers information is linked to this account. It is our recommendation for the consumer to look into this matter, as he has advised he has never had this type of account.
If he wishes to discuss this account with CBV, he can contact CBV and speak to one of our representatives. Alternatively, he can contact the original creditor.Initial Complaint

Thank you for your communication.
I have reviewed our records associated with the complainant's telephone number and can confirm that CBV is attempting to contact a ****** ***** with respect to multiple debts. I note Mr. ***** has confirmed he is the indebted party with our agents via our "Right Party Verification" process. Mr. ***** should contact an agent, toll free, at ************** to make suitable arrangements to resolve his accounts.
Further, I can confirm that CBV messages are only in either official language, French or English, and we have no idea what "asian language" Mr. ***** is talking about.

CBV is attempting to contact the complainant at the supplied telephone number with respect to multiple debts outstanding. CBV believes, in good faith, our efforts are directed to the correct party.
I have reviewed our dial logs and call recordings attached to these debts. All CBV contact attempts have been made within allowable legislative limits. Further, the call recordings do not support the complainant's allegations.
CBV suggests the complainant contact CBV, toll free, at ************** and ask to speak with a supervisor to make suitable arrangements to repay his debts.

I have noted that the number provided by the consumer is not associated with the indebted party. It would appear that the debtor was, or is still, using the consumer's telephone number as a contact with their creditors.
Please allow up to 48 hours for changes to our files.

The consumer should contact an agent, toll free, at 1.855.528.5378 to make suitable arrangements to repay the amount owed.

The complaint is not clear why they believe they are not obligated to pay the debt. Perhaps he could elaborate.
Unless there is a court order (such as Bankruptcy or Consumer Proposal) the consumer’s debt is legitimate. Simply asking the agency to stop calling on a legitimate debt does not obligate us to cease collection attempts.

This debt has gone way beyond the statute of limitations by many years. You are ********* me multiple times per day using ***** ******* **** random phone numbers. It is within my legal right to request that you stop ********* me or I will take legal action. I am not obligated to pay for a debt that has been closed by the original party, despite the fact that you have purchased this debt for pennies on the dollar. **** ** ** **** ******* ** **** ******** ******* ** *** * **** **** * ****** ***** *** ****** ****** ** ** ******** ** *** *** ******* ** ******* *******
