888-325-3826

calls at least once a day and leaves no messages.

I am getting 2 to 3 calles a day and they leave no message.  The bad thing is they dont even let it ring long enough for me to answer the phone.

this # calls everyday for the past 4-5 days. when i answer, you hear the phone ringing as if you were calling them. thats shady you think? i hung up before anyone answered. i dont know if the caller redirects the call elsewhere.

It's called an automated dialer.

These people are Bill collectors.

They are snotty and rude as usual.

they call my number 3 or 4 times a day or at least once.
Who the heck is this?

multiple calls, no message, no ringing more than once or twice.  obviously designed to badger recipient..

It is Credit Bureau Collection agency.  They will call at 8:01 am and save last call for 8:58 pm.  They are rude, harassing.  They Violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act.  I am turning them into the FCC for repeated phone calls after I have requested them to stop calling me.

Dear Mr. Lance Moyer,

I have asked your collection agents to stop calling my home on three different occassions.  Of course my request is falling upon deaf ears.  Your company has violated The Fair Debt

Collection Practices Act which is designed to eliminate abusive, deceptive and unfair debt collection practices. It applies to third party debt collectors or those who use a name other

than their own in collecting consumer debts.  

Your company has called on three seperate occasions. I have, as previoiusly stated, asked your representatives to stop calling me.  I received a phone call yet again this morning at

0835.  I am now putting in writing that I do not have any intentions at the given time frame to pay this debt due to lack of employment and this bill for AT &  T is on the bottom of my

priority list.  § 806. Harassment or abuse  A debt collector may not engage in any conduct the natural consequence of which is to harass, oppress, or abuse any person in connection

with the collection of a debt. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation of this section: (5) Causing a telephone to ring or engaging any

person in telephone conversation repeatedly or continuously with intent to annoy, abuse, or harass any person at the called number.

§ 805 15 USC 1692c
consumer. In the absence of knowledge of circumstances to the contrary, a debt collector shall assume that the convenient time for communicating with a consumer is after 8 o’clock

antimeridian and before 9 o’clock postmeridian, local time at the consumer’s location;
(2) if the debt collector knows the consumer is represented by an attorney with respect to such debt and has knowledge of, or can readily ascertain, such attorney’s name and

address, unless the attorney fails to respond within a reasonable period of time to a communication from the debt collector or unless the attorney consents to direct communication

with the consumer; or
(3) at the consumer’s place of employment if the debt collector knows or has reason to know that the consumer’s employer prohibits the consumer from receiving such communication.
(b) COMMUNICATION WITH THIRD PARTIES. Except as provided in section 804, without the prior consent of the consumer given directly to the debt collector, or the express

permission of a court of competent jurisdiction, or as reasonably necessary to effectuate a postjudgment judicial remedy, a debt collector may not communicate, in connection with the

collection of any debt, with any person other than a consumer, his attorney, a consumer reporting agency if otherwise permitted by law, the creditor, the attorney of the creditor, or the

attorney of the debt collector.
(c) CEASING COMMUNICATION. If a consumer notifies a debt collector in writing that the consumer refuses to pay a debt or that the consumer wishes the debt collector to cease

further communication with the consumer, the debt collector shall not communicate further with the consumer with respect to such debt, except—
(1) to advise the consumer that the debt collector’s further efforts are being terminated.

I expect all contact via telephone will cease and disist immediately.

Sincerely yours,

Their web site says "CBCS is able to obtain Right Party Contact information in real time, a unique advantage over other debt recovery agencies."  What this means to you is they will contact family members in an effort to reach you.  They called my wife's mom, who has enough sense not to give out personal information.  You be careful too.

Nasty lady chasing my dead relative for money.

Received a phone call from 888-325-3826 out of the blue, asking for a family member who does not share my last name.  We live in two separate states and have limited communication.  After a phone call and email to my relative, I received a call from this 888 number asking for them by name.  Do these companies have access to email or phone accounts which allows them to trace an incoming number to their primary party of interest?

FYI, when you ask a collector to stop calling you via the phone, they don't legally have to, but because you sent them a C&D they legally should, if they don't then the FDCPA is violated. I work in collections (not for this company, they actually called for an ex employee) but at any rate, per the FDCPA until a C&D letter is received they can call the home every 3 days to leave a message & every 7 if they get in contact with you, of course not everyone follows these laws, but telling someone over the phone to stop calling your house doesn't do diddly. Not sticking up for the collectors, but it's basic info that everyone should know when it comes to collections.

Also, sending FDCPA quotes to a collection agency doesn't really do you much good, other than look like a guy who simply copies & pastes stuff from various books. Especially when you say off the bat that you tell people to quit calling your house & use statements like "It's fell on deaf ears", which is actually kind of ironic if you look at that situation.

Legally 3rd party companies can't e-mail jack, otherwise it violates FDCPA law, but they do have ways of locating relatives, even if you for example don't share the last name or live in a different state. Of course the only information that can be exchanged is called "location information" which consists of said collector asking said relative for a good home # or address for said debtor. 3rd parties can't e-mail anything to anyone, but original creditors can.

Collections.  I don't owe anyone that would require collection calls.  They are vague and claim the only name they have to leave is CBCS.

the blacklist app is a wonderful thing!!!

i get call from this company about a bill of a person who i don't know.

Stop this company's business!

Received a call today asking for a FRIEND whom I haven't spoken with in about a year in a different state.  I stated they had the wrong number.  She asked If I knew where they were today.  She provided her name and number (no extension).  I left a voice mail for my friend about the call and the number.  She called back and let me know it was a bill collector.

My concerns are HOW did CBCS get my number?  I have an unlisted number and am on the do not call list?  A credit score in excess 780. A google search of my number reveals nothing.  This is a friend, not an ex wife, GF or lover.  As a guy who works in the IT security field I find this very disturbing and I actually feel violated.

I was called by SUSAN at CBCS 888 325-3826, 23 March 2011 at around 12:15

This number keeps calling my phone saying I'm in debt. I'm 17 years old!!!

I've been getting calls, to my cell phone, from a guy named Justin. They won't leave me alone! I'm not even 18 yet. I don't know where they got my number, but I thought it was illegal to call cell phones for stupid [***].
