I have been getting regular calls from this company day and night. Generally between 5 and 10 calls per day. Calls are at all hours of the business day and overnight disrupting my work, home, and sleep. I am on-call for emergency after hours support for my job; and my regular hourly overtime rate would be $165. Each instance takes about an hour to either try and work with the call options or call and deal with the repeat call attempts and relax to fall back asleep. I am owed at east $975 in overtime pay for their disruptions; however, I would consider it a win to never hear from them again.When they call it is blank, and an unrecognizable human voice eventually chimes in asking for a person, again unrecognizable (accent in broken English) either says sorry, they'll make a note of the wrong number, wrong name, etc; but they continue on. I have had to make a complaint with the **** cyber crime unit hoping that maybe they can put an end to it. Recently, I was forceful requesting to speak with a manager whom confirmed my number, confirmed they were looking for some smeechuck (sounds like; the mgr still had a fairly thick accent), but the point is it isn't me and continuing to harass me isn't going to change whom I am. A resolution would be for them to never call me again and to compensate me $975 for my work overtime that they have continually abused for the last 3 or 4 months. The number is higher, but I have erased calls leaving only a record of the 975 for time owed.Business Response

I have unfortunately a debt that has ended up with CBV collections and I was unable to make payments for some time. I have though been trying to reach out the majority of Dec to inform them I am able to settle this matter, spending atleast 20minutes on hold at least 3 times without ever speaking with a single **** tried calling early and late to leave messages and sends me to hold music with no end. Have sent emails, have sent call back request and such. I know my debt is accruing interest and I am not happy about this lack of response to my attempts to settle this matter. One number on the site just disconnects and the other ***** maintains.Business Response

Yesterday I received a robocall from this company looking for my brother. I explained I have no contact with him and he has no phone. This operator was pleasant and as per my request would make sure I receive no more *********** I received another robocall and returned this one as well. The guy on the phone was very pushy and rude. I explained I have no contact with my brother and said I spoke to someone yesterday from their company and she said she would make sure I received no more calls. He keeps pushing and says as I'm his relative I cannot be taken off the list. He wouldn't stop and I hang up. This is harassment!!!Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
Subject: Follow-Up on Complaint Regarding Invalid Traffic Ticket
To whomsoever it may concern
Thank you for your response and for providing additional information regarding my complaint.
I appreciate your suggestion to contact the major credit reporting agencies to dispute the matter, and I will pursue this avenue if necessary. However, I would like to clarify my position:
1.I initially engaged with the collection agency under the assumption that the traffic ticket was valid. I was unaware of my rights and responsibilities at the time and made a payment due to fear and lack of information.
2.Upon further investigation, I have realized that I am not liable for this traffic ticket. This means the initial communication and payment were made under misrepresentation or undue pressure.
3.I respectfully request that the collection agency review my file thoroughly and confirm whether the original ticket is indeed valid and enforceable. If the ticket is proven invalid, I request a refund of the payment made on November 29th, 2024.
I am happy to provide any further details or documentation to support my case. I would also like to note that this matter should not reflect negatively on my credit report, as I am actively disputing the validity of the ticket.
Please let me know the next steps or if I need to contact any specific department for further clarification.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,

Please be advised that we have been hired by the original creditor as a third party agency to assist consumers with resolving overdue and delinquent accounts. The original creditor has sent the consumers information to CBV Collection Services Ltd. with reason to believe that the named individual is the intended party.
As previously advised, the consumer may contact the major credit reporting agency to dispute the file. Additionally, the consumer can also contact the original creditor directly to advise of their situation. The consumer may be requested to submit additional information as per the discretion and requirements necessary as per the original creditor. An investigation would need to be conducted on their end to determine the outcome.
We do apologize for any inconvenience that may have been caused and appreciate the consumers patience. Thank you.

I have been receiving incessant phone calls for months from an unknown numbers with area code 416. The Canada 411 reverse call system fails to provide any useful information. They are a mixture of cellphone and landline numbers. Due to a high frequency of scam calls in the past, I often dont answer calls from unfamiliar numbers. However, because they call so persistently, I finally answered one. But heard only the screech of an attempted fax from ************. Another of the annoying repeated calls comes from *************). I called the number tonight and got a womans voice thanking me for calling what sounds like CBD (??) collections. Im not quite sure if shes saying CBD or CBV or CDV or what. I dont have any outstanding bills and have never heard of this company. Sometimes the calls come early in the morning, sometimes in the evening or anytime throughout the day. But whats more, another two of the numbers calling me ************, and ************, when I dialed them tonight the *same ladys recorded voice comes on with the same message*, thanking me for calling CBV Collections and asking me to please hold while they transfer me to an agent! Its rare for a weekday to go by without receiving one two or more calls from any combination of those numbers and its not only annoying but very disruptive to my life.Customer Answer
