I am rejecting this response because: you clearly have the wrong person, I dont have any contract with the company and you cannot locate a name or address, why would you add as a collection to me. Please address this and figure who the really costumer you are looking for. As for me this is false and a scam, I have no contract with reliance.

We understand your frustration, however we ask for this information to determine if you are the wrong party on the account. I have an account with a similar name, but without an address or confirmation if you provided your full legal name there isn't much I can do. If you are confirmed to be the wrong party and I remove the reporting it would end up being added back as *** doesn't know what algorithms are used at the credit reporting agencies when matching accounts to consumers. I would recommend contacting Equifax and Transunion regarding the matter and have the item removed.

CBV Collection Services.

To Whom It May Concern,I am submitting this complaint regarding CBVCollections, a collections agency, for unprofessional and potentially unlawful practices in attempting to collect a debt from me.On August 14 at 2:35, CBV Collections contacted my mother regarding an alleged debt before making any attempt to contact me directly. I had no prior knowledge of this collection action, and at no time did I authorize them to discuss my personal financial matters with any third party.This action caused unnecessary distress to my family and violated my reasonable expectation of privacy. Debt collection laws in ******, and specifically in ******* under the Collection and Debt Settlement Services Act, limit when and how a collector may contact third parties. In my opinion, CBV Collectionss actions were outside those limits.I am requesting that the BBB:1.Investigate CBV Collections practices regarding third-party contact.2.Ensure that this company is held accountable for contacting a third party before me, the account ****************** that they implement procedures to comply with privacy and debt collection regulations.Sincerely ***** ********* ************ **************************Business Response

I have investigated the concerns brought forth by the consumer, and additionally had my QA Team review all calls. CBV records 100% of all calls so we are able to review and listen to past calls when necessary.
I can confirm that the number associated to the 3rd party was a number we had on file from the original creditor to reach the consumer. This was not an attempt to contact an alternate party from the consumer, it was an attempt to reach the consumer regarding this account. Our agent did not disclose they were calling from a collection agency, or reference collections in any manner. The 3rd party asked if this was in reference to Bell Mobility, and the agent simply responded with "previous services with bell."
I have advised the team to not even answer those questions and only use the term "private business matter" moving forward.
Please let me know if there are any further questions.
Regards,
CBV Collection Services.

Calls 6 or more times a day from a fake phone number.I don't know what it is about and I have not used a credit card for more than 7 years and all my bills are paid on timeBusiness Response
Date: 12/08/2025
I have taken the opportunity to review the consumers concerns. I have located an account within our system that matches to the consumers name, address, and phone number. This account has been in our office since 2015, and attempts to reach this consumer to the provided phone number have occurred since that time. Without having the consumers date of birth to complete CBV's Right Party Verification process, I'm unable to provide specific details of the account. I would recommend that the consumer contact our office and speak to one of our representatives to get all the account details.

I have had the opportunity to review the consumer's concerns regarding her account.
I do see a request to have a portion of the consumer's offset returned to her. CBV's ************** team submitted this request to the bank. CBV does not do the offsets directly, they are done by the original creditor.
There is a response from the bank advising the payment arrangement has to be at least 2% of the balance to avoid offsets from occurring. The bank advised that the offset would not be returned, and to continue with payment arrangement, as $200 would not be enough to cover the interest on the account.
I recommend that the consumer contact the bank directly on this matter, as we have already tried to have the offset amount returned.

CBV Collection Services.

They call me like 4-6 times a day and I don't answer and when my answering machine picks it up they never leave a message and it is very annoying and it is harrassment. I want this to stop, because all these blank messages fill up my voicemail and I have 10 available and I have to delete them everyday.Business Response

Thank you for contacting us regarding your concern.
CBV Collection Services has multiple accounts within our system with this consumers name and address. The contact attempts would be for each account, which means regulatory requirements are still being met and adhered to. I would recommend contacting our office and speaking to one of our representatives regarding the accounts and making necessary arrangements.

I am rejecting this response because:You are harrassing me, I have 10 voicemail messages and you guys fill them up constently with nothing but dead air. I don't know in what world it is ok to leave message after message after message and not say anything without it being harrassment, I could understand if you left maybe 1 or 2 and said what the call was regarding but no I get nothing but air in every single message.
