XXXX XXXX has once again hired yet another collection agency to try to collect on a debt that is more than just " filed under chapter XXXX bankruptcy '' but also the amount is unjust and illegal. The new company they hired ( after the first collection agency refused to collect on this debt from me and returned the account ), The CBE Group , Inc., is now their new collection agency. I will reiterate what I have sent them as every point is in fact undisputed and no response from the company at all. " I received your letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, about an alleged XXXX XXXX debt totaling a staggering {$4700.00} that you and XXXX say Im responsible for. I submitted a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on XX/XX/XXXX, number XXXX. The issue of complaint was to then debt collector XXXX, XXXX and XXXX saying that XXXX is trying to collect on a debt that is not owed. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XXXX responded to my complaint and made the business decision to cease communications with myself and no longer collect on this account. XXXX then turned to you, The CBE Group , Inc., to then try again to collect on this debt I do not owe. I will continue to object to this alleged debt. Based on correspondence from myself and XXXX ( attached ), youll note that my account was closed on XX/XX/XXXX, as we moved all services to XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX somehow put us on another unwanted plan on a line with XXXX usage that Ive requested cancellation of numerous times. Interestingly, on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX states the amount due on device payment agreements is {$390.00}. There should be NO other charges or connections to XXXX XXXX after these device charges. Further, what is this new added charge of {$710.00} in fees for that you list on this letter? Your client did not resolve several issues with canceling cellular lines and continued to charge us for lines we never activated and never had any usage on. Within the past XXXX to XXXX months, Ive talked to XXXX XXXX XXXX and Customer Service representatives multiple times pleading that they remove the XXXX unused lines with XXXX resolution. I was in disbelief looking back at months of charges I wrongfully paid. On a separate but very pertinent issue we still have not received any reimbursement for amounts wrongly paid pre-bankruptcy with our XXXX-chapter XXXX bankruptcy. I have still received no response to letters to XXXX bankruptcy department. Please note attached chapter XXXX debtor list sent in XXXX when filed ( attached ). After XXXX years of loyal service to XXXX ( yes, XXXX years! ), paying an average of $ XXXX, we were shocked to receive this right to cure ( attached ) which had no merit since account was completely canceled and lines we thought we were only paying for were moved. Repeated attempts to figure this out with representatives and repeating myself over and over not only wastes time and money, but I have yet to receive an explanation for how we got these XXXX lines and why do I keep paying on them when we have never used them? I have tried to sign into XXXX which every statement and letter tells me to do for more information with XXXX success. As of the date of this letter I still have no access to my account to go back further searching for documents and receipts to discover where the confusion started. How is it legal to close off my access to my account? How are we supposed to prove that XXXX is wrongfully charging us for months? I called Customer Service after receiving the XX/XX/XXXX letter from XXXX because I couldnt log into my account. XXXX suspended my account instead of canceling it and added unwarranted charges. The rep said he had no idea how to get into my account other than re-opening and activating XXXX of the lines they decided to assign to my account. I chuckled because I couldnt believe he was asking me to re-activate a line I never had. it. He told me to call financial services when theyre open on Monday to see what the deal is ; their own rep didnt know why or how to handle this. I called financial services and spoke with a woman who gave me XXXX time access (? ) to my account, so I was able to get in and start printing out what I could. After that session timed out, I again was unable to log back in. I called XXXX back and asked why this was happening. She gave me short answers that werent addressing my issues and told me she didnt know why I couldnt use the XXXX XXXX XXXX that was paid for yet currently locked. She advised me to go into a XXXX store to get it unlocked. Because the store has been nothing but trouble for XXXX years, I doubted the information she was giving me was correct. I did not visit the store nor will I as I know that locking this phone was possible without a store visit and can be unlocked without returning to the store. Maybe she didnt want to explain everything, maybe she lacked the knowledge needed, or maybe she didnt want to take a long call. Either way, I was brushed off ( again ). This all seems nonsensical ; nevertheless, I still have NO access to important statements, documents, or receipts because they have blocked my access to my account and device ( s ). Why is my XXXX XXXX XXXX locked and repeats the message Sorry you cant switch carriers right now? XXXX website also falsely claims they do not lock devices. Again, why is my device locked? Also, why is it that I canceled XXXX services as of XX/XX/XXXX, yet I am charged through XX/XX/XXXX? Either way, I need all the following information via postal mail to give to our attorney : The amount of the total alleged debt, detailed and itemized line by line ( not just the past XXXX years XXXX spent over {$10.00} to send me ( note that not all pages were sent of each bill ). Full name, mailing address, and contact address of the original creditor with the alleged debt ( with return correspondence available from the company ). Documentation showing you have verified that I am responsible for this debt and reasons why I havent received federal bankruptcy relief for payments I made pre-bankruptcy that you illegally asked for and accepted payment on, and, finally Documentation showing you, The CBE Group , Inc., is licensed to collect debts in XXXX. Note : As Im writing to you within XXXX days of notification by your company about this alleged debt, kindly cease all collection activities until weve received the correct, requested information and XXXX proposal for resolution. Further, the alleged debt shouldnt be able to accrue any fees or interest, right? Especially beyond whats allowed by state law or contract with the original creditor ( theres a new {$710.00} charge you placed on this notification dated XX/XX/XXXX ; what is this for? ). Finally, and directed more toward XXXX customer service and financial service representatives, who can not explain the reason for the locked phone and account, disconnecting chats and calls just put off serious issues. I have spent entirely too much time trying to prove this huge company has taken advantage of me and my XXXX kids for years. I do not want to waste another second trying to explain that this debt is unjust. I pray that no one else is falsely charged for years and then treated like garbage when theyve come to their wits end and decide to switch to a provider who can be trusted with legal, fair and accurate pricing. Please respond at once. '' ******* I will update you with any response I receive that doesn't come through this complaint but I'm not hopeful.

As a consumer I opened that account XX/XX/XXXX, five years and eight months with a payment history, reflecting 100 % of payments made on time until this occurrence. In an attempt to clarify the origin of the XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, XXXX I called XXXX customer service and was unable to communicate with the gentleman that this XXXX account associated with this debt collector was in accordance to a XXXX XXXX account that had been closed years prior. Due to his lack of understanding, investigating and merely communicating with me as a consumer he stated that the account was not related to a XXXX XXXX account because it started XXXX. I advised the gentleman that I would send the information over to the bureau so that my financial account could accurately be updated and error be deleted. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX continues to open accounts under my name as a consumer and to which I am not associated with and I have the documentation which I will continue to provide in order to clear my credit history in the most efficient and accurate disposition. The inaccurate reporting of information regarding me as a consumer is fraudulent.

I have disputed this address in the past, and it was previously removed. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX continues to an accurately send forms of communication to homes within my community that reflect poorly upon a consumer related to their finances and a defamation of character.

The documentation I have attached reports that the status of my account is {$3000.00} past due as of XX/XX/XXXX that is inaccurate. Inaccurately reporting that this debt was only in relation to a XXXX account, and not specifying XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX is also fallacious to the credit bureau and myself as a consumer. You will also note XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is not on my credit history as of today. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is also obtaining a debt in accordance with a XXXX XXXXXXXX account that I am not associated with. In the same manner and fashion, I have attempted to dispute these accounts and have been unsuccessful. This company continues to report false information and I will also attach that information. Please delete the inaccurate information promptly and with integrity to me as a consumer.

I purchased a new XXXX from XXXX and paid it in full at time of purchase. The employee at XXXX was to transfer my business cell phone number XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX. to remove from XXXX XXXX XXXX. After 2 days I went back to the store and the XXXX Representative informed me that it takes a week to transfer a phone number. However, my employee was able to transfer his phone the same day. I was leaving for overseas travel ( which was the sole purpose for purchasing the new phone ) so after another day I went back in, and the same XXXX representative insisted again that everything was in process and that he was extremely hung over so I should come back again the following day for him to assist! My number was never transferred from XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX. To this day my cell number is still with XXXX XXXX XXXX on my old device. After several calls and attempts to the XXXX XXXX customer service line I was told there was no way with the new XXXX to reverse this and that I would need to delete my XXXX XXXX. I called XXXX directly per their request and deleted the XXXX XXXX associated with the new phone. I then returned to the XXXX authorized dealer 3 times during regular business hours and the store was closed. XXXX authorized dealer located at : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, IL XXXX After that I called XXXX XXXX customer care again and after talking to several different representatives the final call was that none of the representatives knew how to handle this with the new e-sim card having just been released. That was the day I was leaving for overseas, and explained to them I could no longer move forward with any of this, and the return time would expire before I returned from travels. The representative on the phone assured me I could use the phone when connected to the internet as a tablet device but would not have cell service. As the new camera was needed for my work travel, I had to take it with me and use ONLY on internet as there was NO actual cellular data on the device. XXXX billed me for Cell service which I never received and ultimately turn it into collection. The XXXX representative, from customer care finally figured out that the initial XXXX representative that I dealt with had type in the wrong phone number not the actual number that was to be transferred from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was informed they could not fix their error as this was the new device that had just been released and they didnt know how to resolve the issue due to the new e-sim and there was no way for them to correct the error. The XXXX representative assured me I would not receive a phone bill as the phone number was never transferred to the phone, and never activated. I asked for this information in writing as I would be traveling for months for work and could not access the XXXX XXXX customer care from the new device. I was informed by XXXX they could not provide me anything in writing. The XXXX XXXX XXXX representative repeatedly told me not to be concerned that due to the phone number not being transferred there would be no cellular service and since there was no service, I would not receive a bill. I was told by the XXXX representative they could not provide me anything in writing. When returning after several travels I received a bill for one month of service. I immediately called XXXX and was assured by the XXXX representative it was a mistake and it would take a couple months for billing to catch up and i would eventually get the documentation via US mail with a XXXX balance on the automatic generated bill. After returning from additional work travel, I received the same bill but now from a collection agency by the name of CBE Capital. I contacted XXXX, and they said yes, we see you have never had any calls or services of any kind on this phone but that they had already sent my account to collections and i would have to deal with the collection agency directly and that there was no way for them to contact the agency to correct their error. After 4 phone calls of not being able to communicate with the representatives at the CBE Capital, I finally agreed to pay the bill as the one-month fee was no longer worth the time I have spent trying to resolve this issue. As soon as i agreed to pay the bill the representative From CBE Capital asked for my social security number. I provided the last 4 digits of my SS # and the representative said I needed to provide the entire SS # otherwise there is no way for them to locate my account. I immediately hung up as I know you never give out your full social security number to anyone especially over the phone. I called back to get a different representative from the CBE Capital who in turn asked me again for my full SS #. I informed them I was not willing to provide my SS # over the phone and I was told by the collection agency again without the full ss # they could not locate my account and they would not offer another solution to resolve this. Not only did I purchase a phone I can not use, but their incompetence has also caused my XXXX credit score to drop by approximately 100 points. I had entered a purchase contract for a new home and due to the collection showing on my credit, it causes me to have to take a higher interest rate for my mortgage. It increased the interest rate by .50 percent. I have disputed this collection with XXXX on XX/XX/2023 but have not receive any communication. I understand it can take up to 30 days to get a response from XXXX and since my purchase contract requires me to close before 30 days, I will be forced to take the higher interest on the mortgage for the purchase of the property. Please let me know what my rights are involving this case, and if there is anything we can do to resolve this quickly. I dont believe without the help of the CFPB that this will get resolved with XXXX XXXX XXXX or CBE Capital. I am thankful to have agency like the CFPB to help resolve this.

My husband had an XXXX done in XXXX ; this account was sent to collections. This account, within 6 months, was with XXXX, who was the original debtor, and 2-3 other collection agencies, The CBE Group , Inc. being one of these collection agencies. I became very confused with who I owed this debt, what payments I had made on this debt to whom, and the status of the debt due to the several agencies involved in a short time period. A collection agency informed me that this debt had been resolved and no longer had a balance. I have received very minimal documentation via e-mail or mail to validate any of this debt or payments. Several years after I was informed this debt had been resolved, my husband received a random phone call from The CBE Group , Inc. stating this debt was outstanding and wanted to step up payment in full but was ok with setting up monthly payment arrangements. Request for written documentation of this was requested and never received. Reviewing my prior documents, the amount owning stated by The CBE Group , Inc. appeared reasonable, so monthly debt payments were set up, with the final pay off early XXXX. In XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX, we called The CBE Group , Inc. to determine the final payment amount and confirm the date of the final debit payment for this debt. We were informed at that time via phone that the debt would NOT be paid off, and close to {$1000.00} was still owing on the XXXX debt. ( Any and all communication with The CBE Group , Inc. occurs via phone by our attempts. ) When asking why our monthly payments that were deducted from our account were not paying this debt off, we were informed that the monthly payments were going to another debt for the prior 12 months. Again we requested via e-mail or mail written documentation of this, the debt owed, and documentation of the other debt owed to The CBE Group , Inc. that the monthly debited payments went towards. Nothing has EVER been received to validate this debt from The CBE Group , Inc . Unable to resolve this with The CBE Group , Inc., we hired a lawyer. The lawyer, myself, and my husband sat in the lawyer 's office and spoke with The CBE Group , Inc. via phone call and speakerphone to discuss the debt owed and the total amount owed for our whole family. ( The CBE Group , Inc. is reporting via phone and credit reporting a debt for my child that I have verification of payment which The CBE Group , Inc. will never look at or accept. ) A total owing amount, NOT a settlement amount, was agreed upon with me, my husband, and The CBE Group , Inc. in the presence and counsel of my lawyer. Payment via check, to have some form of written documentation of this debt paid in full, was sent by my lawyer fall XXXX as agreed upon via phone call by The CBE Group Inc. and all parties ( myself, my husband, and our lawyer representing us. ) The CBE Group Inc. never processed our check to pay the debt in full. Because my lawyer did not have verification as to where he sent our payment and receipt of the payment by The CBE Group , Inc, I canceled this check written in fall XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. I immediately that day wrote a new check, mailed certified with signature receipt verification. This check written, mailed, and received by The CBE Group , Inc. XX/XX/XXXX has never been processed through our checking account either. We want to pay this debt in full and resolve any and ALL accounts with The CBE Group , Inc. so we will never have to conduct business with The CBE Group, Inc AGAIN! We will not make any payments without a paper trail for our verification and validation. ( Note : after the phone call with The CBE Group , Inc, Fall XXXX, our lawyer, myself, and my husband have made many attempts to resolve full payment with The CBE Group , Inc . The CBE Group , Inc. will not speak to us, stating we need our CBE Group , Inc. representative to address this matter because we have a lawyer. The CBE Group , Inc. representative is never available ; when transferred, the call always goes to voicemail with NEVER a response back to our inquiries or our voicemails left. Neither myself, my husband, or my lawyer have been able to resolve this debt with The CBE Group , Inc. ) I have no idea as to why The CBE Group , Inc. will not accept payment in full, which is beyond my documented total I should owe ; I have documentation that the total we are paying should actually be less, but we are attempting to pay the full amount that The CBE Group , Inc. states we owe. We have been unsuccessful in resolving with having our full payment accepted with no response as to why? We want this debt resolved! On my husband 's credit report for The CBE Group , Inc., multiple items state with a Comment : " Affected by natural or declared disaster. '' We have no idea why this comment is there, and this comment is false. Despite numerous disputes with the credit bureaus, this collection account remains with this comment. We are concerned that The CBE Group , Inc. has accepted federal funding for this debt related to COVID relief and/or a natural disaster that has occurred ; this is false and fraudulent. We need to resolve this debt owing and comments on our credit report.

This debt is related to a military household goods move. In early XXXX of XXXX, I received correspondence from the U.S. Department of Treasury, Bureau of the Fiscal Service ( DOT ), dated XX/XX/XXXX in which the DOT stated, in relevant entirety, that : The DOT continues to try to collect the debt you owe to for the amount of {$6400.00}. Previously, during midXXXX of XXXX, I received correspondence from the Department of the XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), dated XX/XX/XXXX in which the XXXX stated, in relevant entirety : " Our records show that your XXXX move from XXXX, XXXX to XXXX, XXXX exceeded your authorized weight allowance of XXXX pounds... you exceeded your entitlement by XXXX pounds resulting in an excess cost of {$4900.00}. '' Enclosed with this initial letter was a general breakdown of the costs associated with the excess weight shipped. While the itemization document showed the associated costs, it did not shed a single piece of evidence proving the validity of the alleged total weight. The required weight tickets associated with the weight calculation ( which are the basis for this debt ) were not provided. The household goods move from which this debt originates happened during the end of XX/XX/XXXX -- from XXXX, XXXX to XXXXXXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, two employees from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX arrived at my residence in XXXX I am a former XXXX XXXX Diver and have a significant amount of diving equipment. Under the Joint Travel Regulations ( JTR ) : a ) Professional books, papers, and equipment ( PBP & E ) are not charged against the servicemembers weight allowance ; and b ) it is the weight masters responsibility to determine an accurate weight of each specific shipment when transporting goods belonging to two separate servicemembers. Despite my concerns regarding excess weight associated with my professional diving equipment, the XXXX employees continued to pack all the belongings together without separating the PBP & E. On or around XX/XX/XXXX, I received a telephone call from the XXXX truck driver ( and weight master ) in which he indicated that he would be transporting another consumer 's household goods in the same load, which could cause a delay in the delivery of my belongings. I did not object to such notice ; however, I requested the driver to save a copy of the certified weight ticket from XXXX, XXXX and communicated my concern regarding excess weight to XXXX customer service department. On XX/XX/XXXX, the XXXX driver arrived in XXXX, XXXX without a certified weight ticket from neither XXXX nor XXXX. I asked the driver to please return to the nearest weight station and he asked me to " don't worry about it, because an excess weight situation was very uncommon. On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a formal complaint to XXXX customer service department via telephone and did not receive any follow-up communication regarding this matter. After receiving the notice of the aforementioned notice of debt, I logged in to my Defense Travel System ( DTS ) account and found the following : 1 ) Actual Pro Gear Weight amount : XXXX 2 ) Delivery Date : XXXX 3 ) Delivered weight : XXXX 4 ) Reweighs : none The DTS report does not show neither my request for a reweigh nor the original weigh from XXXX , XXXX . As stated in the JTR, it was the weight masters responsibility to determine an accurate weight for each specific shipment. Neither XXXX nor XXXX addressed my concerns regarding : 1 ) the lack of a weigh ticket leaving XXXX ; 2 ) professional gear not being weighted separately ; and 3 ) the drivers inability to produce a certified weigh ticket upon delivery. My request for a debt validation requesting more information about this debt was ignored, along with my request for an appeal hearing, which is a clear violation of the FDCPA Section 1692g ( Validation of Debts ). The debt was ultimately referred to CBE XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for collections. As of the date of this complaint, CBE has not answered my request for validation of this debt either. Moreover, my XXXX tax refund payment of {$2900.00} was applied to this non-validated, disputed, and illegitimate debt. I received a notice of tax refund offset on XX/XX/XXXX. Based upon XXXX, DOT, and CBE 's fundamentally inaccurate collection of this debt and inaccurate credit reporting, I provide the following report : 1 ) The delinquency itself is not legitimate which bars subsequent reporting to credit agencies and subsequent debt collection efforts ; 2 ) the assertion that I still owe this debt is a materially false statement ; and ; 3 ) XXXX DOT, and CBEs denial for an appeal hearing is a clear sign of bad faith, which is actionable under several federal laws. I have discussed and appealed this matter ad nauseam with DFAS, DOT, and CBE to no avail. Attached my last communication with CBE regarding this dispute.

In XX/XX/2018 I received a phone call from XXXX XXXX XXXX out of XXXX Iowa. When they contacted me, I answered the phone, and a lady said " Hello, my name is blank and I have a {$9000.00} account in your name that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX College sent over to have us collect ''. I asked her if XXXX sold them my debt. She said, No. I then proceeded to ask, " If XXXX did not sell you the debt, how can you legally contact me and collect for an account you do not own ''. She said something about how they partner with businesses to collect debts not sold. I know a brief amount about the Fair Trade Commission. However, I am under the understanding, A collection company can not call and collect on a debt that they legally do not own. Anyway, I went to my college and asked the Supervisor of Student Accounts about my account. Long story short. I have received little to no information from both, my college as well as this collection company. What I do know however, is I went in and spoke with the Supervisor of Student Accounts on Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX at around XXXX in the afternoon. I walked out of that meeting that day with nothing but a printout saying " account balance equals XXXX '' I want it to be known, The Supervisor of Student Accounts told me this : " since the debt is over 2 years old, we have it in our bad debt account its a book keeping thing '' I replied with, " okay, well, can I obtain a copy ''? The Supervisor of Student Accounts said : " Unfortunately, no, If I give you your account I will have to give you the account information of every student in our bad debt account ''. As soon as I left that meeting, the Supervisor of Student Accounts had emailed CBE requesting they close and return the account. The follow Tuesday, XX/XX/18 I received an email from the Director of Financial Aid. Saying my {$9000.00} account has been paid in full by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX College. Which is great, however, I never to this day have gotten an answer, Why? I believe, I have found the answer. I believe, I have enough evidence to prove my previous institution has committed the following : Fraud, Extortion, Abuse, Manipulation, Harassment as well as, irresponsible use of Federal Funding. I believe, the collection agency, CBE is involved with my previous institutions " Scam ''. I believe, I have enough evidence to show the allegations that, I am making toward XXXX and CBE Group. Yesterday, ( XX/XX/18 ) I called CBE Group. Because, again, to this day I, have still not received any information concerning me or this account. I want it to be known, Yesterday ( XX/XX/18 ) when I contacted CBE Group. I spoke with a Representative, because I was needing information about my account. As soon as she pulled up my account and I began explaining what I believe is going on. I was immediately, put on hold and transferred to the Director of Operations he had no answers to give me. He was tripping over his words a lot. As if, he knew something was going on. I then proceeded to ask for my account number of this account. The account number that the Director of Operations gave me was my Student ID number from when I attended college. I believe what has happened here, is this : My school made an error by incorrectly confirming my status. They did not catch their error until the next year, during their routine Financial Aid Audit. When they did, by Federal Regulation, they were required to return all of the federal money. They did that, however, turned around and opened an in-house account in my name telling me this was my error, my mistake, I have to eat this. I have the evidence that I believe confirms this was all a scam. And, I believe the college and CBE are working together as a " scare tactic '' to put people in positions where they feel as though they have to pay it or else. Because, ( and you can listen to every recorded phone conversation ) they called me, and said " you have until the end of XXXX to pay this account in full. Or else, we will report to your Credit ''. -However, how can they Legally report to my Credit, if they never owned my debt? -How can they Legally call me when, I never received a letter from either my school or the collection agency? -How is it this account was " legit ''. Yet, I asked one question and XXXX decides to do a " good '' and pay my {$9000.00} " account ''. I apologize if this complaint is long and kind of everywhere, you have absolutely no idea how big a burden, this has been on me for the last three years. I had to quit college. I had to literally re-invent where I was going to go with my life without a college degree. So with that said, my complaint is this : Fraud, Extortion, Abuse, Financial Harassment, Manipulation I also want to remind to whomever is reviewing my complaint, I have received absolutely nothing from this Collection Agency.

RE : Bill collection sent by CBE regarding Department of Health and Human Services, for a bill they did not paid ever. I have submitted almost 2 years ago, a complaint against Medicare that starting asking me to pay a debt to them for NON services in regarding medical bills never paid by them. In XX/XX/XXXXI had a car accident caused by a teenager. As consequence in XX/XX/XXXX I had a medical necessity XXXX on my XXXX XXXX due to the injuries and physical and psychological suffering, at that time my car insurance provider XXXX paid all the bills directly to each provider. Therefore, after the case was settle the attorney charged 30 %, for its representation, and from my small portion left, he sent to pay doctors, XXXX XXXX, every treatment done to me at the end I got few dollars. Medicare " never paid one penny, since never my attorney notified them, for the simple reason that when it is a car accident never medical providers accept Medicare, or Medicaid, only personal health insurance I had none. Hence, I had only Medicaid at that time since I was not XXXX, I was not qualified to have it yet, I was XXXX. At last I qualified for Medicare after I turned XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX but they took three months after my birthday to give a last my Medicare card. Having my XXXX one year before and XXXX every time paying every provider immediately how come Medicare try to ask me to pay for non paid bills done by them, and my XXXX was in XX/XX/XXXX? So how come Medicare could paid such bills never sent them to them, either the attorney reported to Medicare because my car insurance was taking care of every bill. Likewise, since was a car accident and only the providers accepts personal private health insurances or through an employer, never Medicare, or Medicaid. It is clear they are lying and trying to collect a non existent debt and have sent me to collection again, even that after I submitted a complaint against Medicare for false claim, I got a letter on my behalf. Hence, if having no Medicare how come they came to ask to pay them for non medicals bill paid by them? On the other hand either Medicaid, never, paid a penny since was a car accident case and only my car insurance paid every bill. Nevertheless no bills were sent to Medicare neither to Medicaid since attorneys or providers rejects those kind of health insurances. My attorney at that time stated that all the bills were submitted to XXXX, never to Medicare either to Medicaid, is obvious. On the other hand I called myself the attorney and XXXX to find out if they had submitted any medical bills to Medicare or Medicaid, I was told never they did, because my car insurance provider took care of everything. After the case was settled, the attorney took his 30 % for representation and from the small portion left he sent to pay in full every provider, at the end I have almost nothing today living with some XXXX problems since I have a XXXX on my XXXX XXXX they got the most, I got the less. According to the law, when a person it might received some money due to physical pain and psychological suffering we the person affected we have not obligated to pay, since is like a kind of compensation for that suffering. Today I had received a letter this time from XXXX XXXX XXXX, asking me to pay {$1100.00}, I can see it doesn't states Medicare as used to be, at this time says " Original Creditor Department of Health and Human Services, principal balance {$970.00}, Interest {$200.00} penalty {$0.00}, fees {$0.00}, current balance {$1.00}, 178.29. It is clear that from Medicare they switched to Department of Health and Human Services, it doesn't matter how they are trying to collect funds for bills never paid by them. I am tired dealing with this people, how come physical injuries, pain and psychologic suffering by a human being also we have to live harass asking to pay for bills never they took care, since was not necessary due to the case that was covered by my car insurance penny by penny. I need you to stop that CBE group collection agency, since they are they are threatening to put a lien on my Social Security benefits, when I don't owe them a penny and this money is protected by the government. Please I need your help, today I am living from fixed income from retirement {$800.00}. This is horrible how money turns crazy some people oh my XXXX!. What unfair act from this people. I need your help. Thank you

YOUR COMPLAINT Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email notice from my credit monitoring agency that " a collection '' has been lodged against me and my XXXX credit score has dropped 58 points, as a result. I almost fainted. The notice said a company that I have never heard of, CBE Group out of XXXX XXXX, Iowa, working on behalf of Charter Communications, filed the collection action in the amount of {$350.00}. Immediately, I telephoned my cable company, XXXX, owned by Charter Communications, and was informed that they had not taken any collection action against me. Instead, this matter appears to be the regurgitation of a bogus cable bill and action taken a couple of years ago when another collection agent employed by Charter Communications, attempted to collect monies from me that I did not owe. I reported the effort ( as follows in this complaint ) to CFPB and Charter Communications promised to cease all collection efforts against me and the collection was stopped, the credit bureaus were informed, the collection was immediately removed from my credit bureau reports and my credit bureau scores were restored to nearly 850 at both XXXX and XXXX. Now, it appears that this erroneous and bogus bill has been sold to another collection bureau, CBE Group, for the same contested amount of {$350.00}. OLD CFPB COMPLAINT # XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX : Out of the blue, I received a letter 10 months ago from a collection company, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NY. The letter was dated XX/XX/XXXX, and it was alerting me that XXXX was collecting a past-due balance of {$350.00} from me on behalf of Charter Communications , of XXXX XXXX , NY. I was baffled and stunned to receive this notice because I had paid my cable bill in total to Charter Communications before cancelling service with them in XX/XX/XXXX and returning the cable box and equipment. I never received any further communication from XXXXXXXX after paying my bill in total, canceling service because I moved to another residence and returning equipment. Immediately after receiving this notice about a bogus bill in my name, I contacted the XXXX XXXX XXXX and filed a complaint against Charter Communications and XXXX XXXX for trying to collect a bill that was not mine and failing to communicate with me the details of the alleged bill : what were the dates of services, what kind of services, what were the original charges, when did the bill become past-due? In a timely manner, Charter Communications sent me a letter notifying me that they will never contact me again or hire any third-party to contact me on the company 's behalf about this bogus past-due claim for {$350.00}. Additionally, I never again heard from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was satisfied with the responses and considered the matter closed. However, nine months later, I received an annoying letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MN, advising me that they are collecting the same alleged past-due amount of {$350.00} from me on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX for unspecified service charges. Again, this was out of the blue, no earlier letters or phone calls. Further, XXXX XXXX, reported this bogus past-due allegation in the amount of {$350.00} as an unpaid collection to XXXX credit reporting services, which lowered my near-perfect credit score by XXXX points from a near-perfect XXXX to a paltry XXXX. Immediately, I filed a complaint against XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX with the XXXX XXXX XXXX I am awaiting a XXXX response. Charter Communications is the parent company of XXXX. XXXX should have abided by the decision of XXXX to stop any further actions against me for an alleged debt that they could not confirm as mine and could not specify, qualify or quantify or provide specific details of any kind to me because the charges were not made by me. Instead of ceasing and desisting actions against me based on fraudulent and flawed information, this bogus past-due collection was sold to another collection company to pursue actions against me after I was told by the initial alleged creditor, Charter Communications , that all attempts to pursue this bogus collection would be stopped. # # #

XXXX XXXX XXXX has knowingly charged me for services it was unwilling and/or unable to provide. I had XXXX for cable and internet for XXXX years at my previous residence. I had no problems with them other than an occasional outage. Since moving to my new residence, they have been deceitful in claiming that they would provide service here and have taken {$2900.00} from me nonetheless. Since moving here in XXXX of XXXX i have spent hundreds of hours of my time with their assurances that the problem could be fixed with a multitude of different fixes. In the year and a half that i have been without service, I have called them over 80 times ; XXXX technicians have come to try to connect everything to no avail. Throughout all this time, XXXX has falsely blamed the equipment, and as such, i have had : XXXX different converters, XXXX different adaptors, XXXX different modems, ; and XXXX different routers - this involved me going to their offices, which always takes over an hour or more because it is extremely crowded - and, even after all the switching out of equipment, they could not provide service to me. Then, XXXX said the problem was with the cable cards - after XXXX different tries at switching these, i still could not receive television or an internet connection even though i spent hours on their XXXX XXXX support line - no one could figure out the problem.. Technicians came to see if the wiring in the house was the culprit. They sent a tech to re-wire the house, i had to wait all day XXXX ; and he never did anything other than cut off a cable that was in my living room - I watched, he did not re-wire anything and, to this day, i believe that they simply would not spend the money to do the necessary wiring to give me service in my XXXX year old house .... So, another technician came out and said he would have to access a box on a pole that was in a neighbor 's yard and that that would fix the problem - this was on XXXX XXXX, XXXX - so, i waited for that remedy, but no, still no service. And then, in XXXX, 3 months later, to add insult to injury XXXX, the technician said that he 'd have to access box on XXXX ... ..which they obviously had never bothered to do! ... .Other remedies they suggested for incorrect programming, loss of signal, pixilating, searching for signal, no signal etc etc were that i was connected to the wrong carrier - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX etc XXXX XXXX but that was no solution either. Finally, On XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX the technician came out and, in checking their equipment, said that the XXXX cable was chipped, and that that had been the problem for the 18 months i had been living there. XXXX XXXX 's XXXX up - a faulty cable ... XXXX admitted that that was why i had no service ... ..and so, i settled in that evening to watch television, thinking it 's finally fixed, but NO, the message on the tv screen said " XXXX XXXX not supported '' I tried to restart everything 3 times, but each time, the television simply shut down. By this time, i was FED UP and I told them on XXXX XXXX that i was giving up on TV service with them but i needed them to provide me with a strong internet signal so that i could watch the movies i had to watch via internet to vote for the Screen Actor 's Guild Awards, which is my duty as an actor. They apologized and said they would send me a stronger signal so that i could stream the movies from my laptop, but they did not. The first movie i tried to watch, " The Room '' kept losing signal - it took XXXX hours to watch XXXX hour of the movie! Another call to XXXX, and they said they were sending best signal but never did - On XXXX XXXX, i spent over 2/1/2 hours on the phone with XXXX different reps, they kept dropping my calls, XXXX HAS NOW TURNED ME INTO COLLECTION!! i have more proof but no more room to write - please please help me get some justice for their unethical business practices thank you!

This is a continuation of XXXX XXXXCharter Communications XXXX XXXX to collect a debt for terminated cable services which were resolved prior to my move to XXXX, FL from XXXX XXXX XXXX FL in XXXX. The alleged debt is continuously bought by collection agencies which cease to contact me when advised of the circumstances only to pass on fraudulent data to others who continue the harassing behavior. Details are included below and also in my previous complaint, ID : XXXX submitted on XX/XX/XXXX. Please help me resolve this issue permanently. I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and will not pay for something that I do not owe. Any help appreciated. XXXX XXXX XXXX sent to the most recent debt collector : CBE Group XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX Dear Collection Agency Representative, Your attempt to collect a fraudulent debt is denied. I have been engaged in resolving fraudulent debt for the past 4 years with similar attempts from other collection agencies. As previously stated to the other similarly situated agencies such as yourself, engaged in purchasing debt ; the identified delinquent debt of {$230.00} is inaccurate and as I have been unsuccessful with XXXX in eliminating this continued harassing communication with collection agencies as their proxy ; I have again notified the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) today to enlist their assistance. For your records and background information, I was a former customer of XXXX ( XXXX ) formerly XXXX XXXX and now Charter Communications for 17 consecutive years. I used their services at my various homes over the years without incident until I moved to XXXX, Fl. I followed the routine process to return equipment and tally up my account before transitioning to my new home. When I moved to XXXX, FL from XXXX XXXX, FL I decided to change providers and not continue with the XXXX XXXX. My new Internet Service Provider ( ISP ) - XXXX XXXX XXXX began service on the date I terminated my contract with XXXX. There was no additional month or additional fees or equipment missing when I transitioned these services. I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and have owned and lived around the country ; obviously a mundane change in accounts is routine. However, XXXX billed me for {$230.00} claiming I owed this debt. I disputed this debt through numerous phone calls and correspondence explaining this debt is not legitimate ; and was assured each time ( by XXXX initially ) it would be resolved. Instead, I was sent to collections and have been harassed by various collection agencies requesting written notice in 30 days to dispute the claim ( standard language used ) and have disputed each claim for these past 4 years. I have evidence of these communications, where the incidents are temporarily resolved to my satisfaction after tremendous effort and oversight on my part only to begin again when the debt is sold. This tactic of changing collection agencies and resuscitating attempts to collect on a fraudulent debt is harassment ; there is no other explanation after trying to resolve this issue in a reasonable manner. I have exercised my due diligence in resolving this concern since XXXX ; and I am going into my fourth year experiencing this harassment. I will not be paying fraudulent expenses attributed to me that are not legitimate. I have an outstanding credit history and have always paid my debts on time. XXXX has not exercised good faith and has certainly lost my good will for the barrage of incessant harassment towards me, a long-standing customer that responsibly paid each and every bill over numerous years and attempted to resolve this concern. As such, you should be hearing from the CFPB and be advised I will not be paying you the fraudulent balance of {$230.00} nor accepting your offer to resolve the fraudulent debt for {$160.00} as I do not have an outstanding balance with Charter Communications. Best regards, XXXX XXXX

This is a complaint against XXXX and the CBE Group. Together these entities have fabricated a debt which was never due, which the actual creditor has agreed in writing was never due, and then, with full knowledge that there was never any debt due, which they intentionally and willfully refused to remove from from my XXXX credit report. As a result, for the first time in complainants XXXX years, he has been denied the extension of credit. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, explicitly stated the reason for the denial was Credit report shows recent delinquency, public record or bankruptcy. The only alleged delinquency ever in my credit report is the sham prosecuted by CBE Group and retained after notice of falsity by XXXX. The amount XXXX and CBE Group claim is owned to CBE Groups creditor-assignor ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ) is small, {$87.00} ; and the identical, false negative report by CBE Group has been deleted by XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ) and XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ), after they received the same information served on CBE Group and XXXX. I am pursuing this complaint, however, because if ever there was an example of unscrupulous dealings this is it. CBE Groups assignor stated in writing months ago that I didnt own it anything ( XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ). CBE Group has been asked twice, in writing, to delete the inaccurate report. Instead it then verified the false report to XXXX, weeks after it wrote me stating that it had ceased collection and returned account to the creditor ( ( XX/XX/XXXX ). Worst is what XXXX has done. It had a straightforward letter from the creditor stating I owed it nothing and another from XXXX/XXXX showing that the creditor had been paid and that I had never had a financial obligation to this creditor ( XX/XX/XXXX ). I dont know what response XXXX had from CBE Group. But even if CBE Group falsely reported that the debt was valid and unpaid, how could anyone accept that claim against the word of the actual creditor and a respected health care insurers statement that I had no debt to the creditor. This is NOT a case of a debt that has been paid or settled. There never was a debt. That is the importance of the two year old XXXX document ( XX/XX/XXXX ). It shows that immediately after medical services were provided, XXXX and XXXX paid the health care provider ; that the provider accepted their payments as payment in full ; and that there was XXXX due from me. Through ignorance or accident, the health care provider resurrected the claim a year and a half later and sent the unpaid claim straight to its bulldog collection agency, CBE Group. Following its standard practice CBE Group commenced by reporting this as non-payment of a two-year old debt. When its creditor received a copy of the XXXX/XXXX document, it immediately admitted that nothing due from me ( XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ). CBE Group, however, doubled-down by reporting the claim as valid while telling me it had dropped the claim. XXXX had to choose between two irrefutable written statements that the claimed debt was false or the unsubstantiated verification of a collection agency with perhaps the most consumer complaints on file with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). XXXX sided with CBE Group : The information you disputed has been verified as accurate. ( XX/XX/XXXX ) Almost worst, XXXX updated the delinquency. To give its validation the appearance of an in-depth review, it corrected the amount and raised it from {$87.00} to {$88.00}. XXXX did not even include my information to reflect that it was a disputed claim. Instead, I had to commence an entirely new process and maybe it would put my position along side that of a shyster. If this is how the system works then the entire system is a fraud. Both XXXX and CBE Group should be held accountable.

The XXXX have never send us the corrected final bill. We used theirs services for less than 2 weeks. We have returned theirs phones as well. They have 2 weeks no charge policy for new customers so we do not owe them anything but {$50.00} activation fee related to one of the phones we have activated. ( We needed to cancel services with them because what we were told we will need to pay each month was a way different than what they have send to us on paper statement. ) We have returned both phones but they send us back one of them. We send the phone back as soon as we could. We do have a receipt from XXXX from XX/XX/2019. And we do have a confirmation that the phone has been delivered on XX/XX/2019 at XXXX XXXX. However the XXXX didnt stop sending us bills for services never used and the phone that has been returned. We called them to discuss the charges in XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. Before we received the letter from a collection agency XXXX employee told us that actually all we have to pay to XXXX is {$50.00} and he can see that XXXX received the phone back from us. We were ready to pay over the phone but we were told to wait for final bill. Paying over the phone was not an option. We needed to wait for a final bill but instead of final bill we got the letter from collection agency. So we called XXXX again. On XX/XX/2019 XXXX on Monday the XXXX employees didnt like to help us and asked to call collection agency for all information because they have no access to our account. We called twice because during our first phone call the employee gave us too many information and she was even able to access our account and the charges were for some services we didnt use since we have canceled all services 6 days after signing up to XXXX. She disconnected us because she has noticed that she wasnt allow to provide us any information. She disconnected us prior to our second call at XXXX on XX/XX/2019. During our second phone call the Supervisor didnt want to provide us any informations, all they could offer was the phone number to collection agency. That was very disappointing because not only each time we called XXXX we were promised that XXXX employees will take care about the issue but now even the supervisor is not willing to review the entire situation, she wasnt even willing to listen to us. Finally we didnt have any other choice left so we called the collection agency. They told us that we can dispute our situation online. We provided them a receipt from XXXX and proof of phone delivery to Verizon.They have never contacted us but We were able to log in on their website and we were able to read their message over there. After reviewing our case They returned the case to XXXX. So We were glad that finally we will be able to discuss the issue with them. But we were wrong. They send it over to another collection agency. When we called the new Collection agency they were not even able to provide us any information what is the bill for. They told us to call XXXX. But XXXX told us to call the collection agency. At that moment It is affecting our credit score and because of coronavirus situation its much harder to dispute and find solutions to this issue. We really need help in this situation because it feels like there is no justice. We dont understand why do we have to pay someone for something we dont owe and we dont own ... and why does it have to affect us so badly. We are innocent, we work hard and are paying bills on time. XXXX does not care about humans right ... from the very beginning of this story. And the new collection agency is not providing any information. The only thing they do is to collect money from us. Even that we do do not owe them and XXXX anything but {$50.00}.

I cancelled my Charter Communication ( d.b.a. XXXX ) internet service in XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX. At the time, the Charter representative told me that I need to return 3 pieces of equipment ; a modem, a DVR and a cable tv box. I explained at that time that the only equipment I had was a modem. I never had a DVR in my possession as I never had that service and it had been at least 5 years since I had Charter XXXX XXXX. The TV box had either been returned several years ago or was never requested to be returned. The representative told me that they would only require return of the modem. I returned the modem to the XXXX XXXX as instructed where the QR code was scanned and supposedly returned to Charter. Several months later I started getting letters from Charter saying I had an outstanding balance of {$160.00}. No explanation was given as to what this balance was for. I attempted to contact Charter get an explanation but no one could tell me what the balance was for, only that I owed. I told them that I would not pay unless they told me what the balance was for. Some time later I started receiving phone calls from a company called CBE Group. The CBE group representative began asking personal information questions without telling me what the nature of the call was. I told them I would not answer any personal information questions until they explained to me the nature of the call. I instructed them not to call my number until they had identified what the call was about. I got then got a letter in the mail from CBE group explaining that they were attempting to collect a debt of {$160.00} for Charter Communications. I wrote back requesting that they provide an explanation of what the outstanding balance was for, information that Charter had refused to provide. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from CBE group stating that they had received a response from Charter regarding the balance owed and that I still needed to pay the {$160.00} charge. Included were copies of the last three months of service I had with Charter for XXXX, XXXX and XXXX of XXXX. Each invoice showed a Total Due of {$79.00} ( which does not add up to {$160.00} ). I have bank statements showing these payments made to Charter. Additionally, Charters own invoices indicate that the previous months payment had been received. Example : The " Summary '' section of XXXX 's invoice shows XXXX 's payment received. Same for XXXX 's showing XXXX 's payment received. I do not have a XXXX invoice showing XXXX 's payment received as I had already cancelled my service. I do, however, have bank statements showing that I paid {$79.00} to XXXX ( Charter Communications ) on XX/XX/XXXX. Same for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I called CBE group and explained this to them. At the time they told me that the invoices they sent me where not correct and the the balance due was for " equipment ''. I told CBE at that time that I needed them to provide me a written invoice detailing exactly what equipment I owed them for. They told me they would provide this information. On XX/XX/XXXX I received another written explanation with the exact same information previously provided with invoices for the last three months of internet service, which as stated above have already been paid. To date, neither Charter nor CBE group have been able to provide any information whatsoever regarding the " equipment '' that they claim I owe them for. As for the invoices for internet services that they have sent me, I have proof of payment for these balances. I have a wife that is due to give birth any day now and I do not have time to continue going round and round with this debt collector over what I feel is a fraudulent debt.

I have been a victim of Identity Theft since XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Someone stole my personal information such as my name, date of birth, social security number and work information to commit theft. The suspect opened many or numerous fraudulent accounts under my name without my consent. I contacted the XXXX Credit Bureaus such as XXXX, XXXX and XXXX to place a Fraud Alert and Security Freeze. I placed a Security Freeze in order to prevent the suspect from opening other fraudulent accounts. I also filed a XXXX XXXX police report on XXXX XXXX, XXXX in regards to Identity Theft. I contacted or filed a report through the FTC as well on XXXX XXXX. I contacted most or all the credit card companies and disputed the fraudulent charges against me. All the fraudulent charges were dropped in my favor while others were removed or deleted right after noticing a Fraud Alert on my credit report. On XXXX XXXX, I checked my updated credit score. The score went back up to XXXX points ( XXXX ) and XXXX points ( XXXX ). I was happy because I worked so hard in building an excellent score throughout my entire life. I NEVER owed anyone or any companies money because I paid ALL my bills on time. The suspect took away or stole my freedom, my dignity and my good reputation on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I found out the suspect has been opening the fraudulent accounts dated XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. I was informed by my credit card XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX that the suspect was stealing my name to open fraudulent accounts without my consent. I thought everything was good or normal when my updated score was XXXX points and XXXX points on XXXX XXXX. However I was upset when I received another updated score on XXXX XXXX, XXXX through XXXX. My score went down to XXXX points. The reason was because CBE Group or XXXX filed a collection against me for the amount of {$840.00}. The account was opened on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. My question to CBE Group or XXXX is " How? '' How did this account was opened when I placed a Security Freeze and Fraud Alert on my report? Did XXXX or CBE Group contacted me as they were instructed on my credit report? I NEVER received a phone call. My contact phone numbers were on my report. I gave specific instructions such as " Do NOT allow further fraudulent accounts to be opened unless I was called or contacted due to a " Fraud Alert. '' XXXX or CBE Group failed to follow these simple instructions on my credit report. And now CBE Group or XXXX wanted to collect {$840.00} against me for something I have NO knowledge of the account. And how can the last XXXX digits of the account be " xxxx? '' I can not read minds or invisible numbers. XXXX and CBE Group should be punished and be jailed for NOT following simple instructions on my report. I tried calling CBE Group at XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX around XXXX hours, XXXX hours and XXXX hours. I was NOT able to connect with a representative for over 5 minutes wait. I contacted XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX at approximately XXXX hours. The agent told me he has NO knowledge of the fraudulent account. I told him that I have XXXX since XXXX and NEVER owed any money. My XXXX was paid on time since XXXX and there was NEVER an issue. I do NOT have any other XXXX account other than XXXX in XXXX XXXX. Identity Theft crime is going up. Many companies should take note by investigating the true identity of the person before allowing an account to be opened otherwise the victim will suffer emotional stress. I am suffering emotional stress since XXXX XXXX, XXXX. CBE Group and XXXX should be punished for causing me pain and grief for allowing the suspect to open an account without reading my report for " Fraud Alert. '' Shame on you guys.

My wife and I had a child at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, SC. Our son was born on XX/XX/XXXX. After being discharged from the hospital, we thought we made good on all our medical bills. Over a year later, on XX/XX/XXXX, we receive a letter in the mail from The CBE Group , Inc., a debt collection agency, telling us that we owe {$3000.00} to them, that was not paid to XXXX hospital. After logging in to our XXXX insurance account, which we are no longer members of, I discovered a bill break down in the amount of {$3000.00}. The bulk of that bill, namely {$2300.00}, was a nursery room charge. My wife and I did not use the nursery room a single time, with bathing and naps all done in our room, and circumcision performed at a later date in an outpatient setting. We were not informed that we would be charged for the nursery room, whether we used it or not. I called the billing department at XXXX XXXX XXXX to ask if that part of the bill could be dropped since the nursery was not used, and to ask why we were not given notifications of the owed amount until receiving the letter from collections. I was informed that nothing could be done about the price since it had already gone to collections and was out of their hands. I was also told that notifications of the bill were put onto their XXXX system for us to use, and that alerts were sent out on 4 specific dates : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. I asked if proof could be provided to me that the notifications were sent, and was told that no proof could be given. After departing from the hospital, my wife and I did not log into our XXXX but one time, but no bill was viewed. After the phone conversation, I logged onto our XXXX. I could not see any obvious alerts as to an owed amount, neither on my wife 's nor my son 's account. I checked our preferences on how we wanted to be notified of bills, and email notification was all that was selected. Neither of us recall ever setting up these preferences, so I'm lead to believe that this was our default setting. I then looked back in our emails to see the alerts that were reportedly sent out on those 4 dates, and I discovered that no such emails were received on any of those days. I called back to the billing department last week on XX/XX/XXXX to ask to speak to a manager so I could plead our case. I was informed that a request would be put in for a manager to reach out to me and, if accepted, I could expect to hear back in 2-3 days. I can only assume at this point that my request was rejected and I will not receive a call from them. Finally, I also called The CBE Group debt collection agency on XX/XX/XXXX in hopes to dispute the claim, but was told that nothing would result from the dispute since it had been over a year since the bill was issued ( XX/XX/XXXX ). To summarize, I feel that we should not have been charged nearly {$2400.00} for a service that was never used, especially without notifying us beforehand about it. More importantly, though, I feel that we were not given proper notification of a bill coming due, not by mail, phone call, or email. We only found out from a letter by the collection agency. Moreover, we found out after it was too late to even dispute it with either the hospital or collection agency. And finally, I feel that throughout this entire process, representatives I spoke to at the hospital and the collection agency had no desire to help us find a resolution to our issue other than getting the full amount paid as quickly as possible. Instead of any hint of taking accountability, the representatives blamed other departments or agencies.

See Attachment XXXX for a full explanation including proof, screenshots, and an index so to speak of all the other attachments. For an additional Summary see attachment XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX a letter drafted by my attorney. This debt collection account from XXXX is a mistake made by XXXX. They accidentally created a 2nd account in my name, but it is not legitimate. Because of this, they sent me a second phone which I did not realize for some time. I was packing and renovating my home and preparing it for sale so the box got lost and since I didn't know about it, I didn't look for it either. I called them immediately to let them know I found a phone and perhaps that was why they had sent mysterious invoices. Mind you none of the invoices or multiple conversations with XXXX support over many months ever once mentioned they had sent me a 2nd phone by accident. I spoke to XXXX that day, explained the error and situation, XXXX verified everything I said had transpired. I asked if I could just go turn it in to the store and resolve this, but she informed me the amount due had been sold to a debt collector and I would have to work with them. Next, I requested all notes and history on both accounts to prove this was an error, that I had called about XXXX times and visited the store at least 5-7 times ( each time a call was made to support so there should be a record of those ). Every time at the store I was told this was resolved, they promised the account was closed, my name removed, and I would not receive further threatening emails regarding an account that was not real if I did get more emails/invoices to ignore them. XXXX said because the debt had been sold it was impossible for her to help ; not even to send me documentation on either account to prove the issue. However, she could send me a text message stating this was all an error and verifying the debt was not my account. I have spent over a year trying to resolve this situation which was caused by an error made by XXXX. I contacted support and visited the store so many times and was never told anything about a phone and was assured each time it was fixed and I could ignore those emails, invoices, etc. I have the phone still in its box brand new and have offered to give it back several times. I disputed the credit collection on credit bureaus and won at which time the debt was passed on to a new collection agency CBE Group and it started all over again. CBE Group offered to settle the debt for {$500.00} on a phone conversation XX/XX/2022. I insisted they send me something in writing despite their efforts to push me to pay immediately without any guarantee of a resolution. See Attachment : XXXX XXXX XXXX showing the settlement offer for the {$500.00} amount. Despite the fact that this situation was caused by XXXX I was willing to pay {$500.00} to finally be done with it. My only concern was how it would appear on my credit. After some research, I was even more concerned so I contacted an attorney for help. I worked with XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. from the law firm XXXX XXXX to draft a letter with the primary goal of preventing a negative mark on my credit report which would cause a negative financial impact for years. I would pay the {$500.00} if they would simply report it in a way that did not suggest wrongdoing on my part or affect my overall credit score. See Attachment : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Letter which is a copy of this letter sent to both CBE Group and XXXX. They ignored this letter from my attorney and sent a new invoice for the full amount as shown in Attachment XXXX.

XXXX customers from XXXX - XXXX ; received FIOS Bundle ( internet, TV, phone ). Always paid bills in full and on-time using Auto Pay in final years. Due to interstate move ( XXXX -- XXXX XXXX ), my wife XXXX contacted XXXX in late XX/XX/XXXX, and requested our service be terminated effective XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, which coincided with the end of the period of service ( XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX ) from our XXXX bill. During the call, she was asked if we wanted to transfer the service. She replied " NO '' as FIOS was not available in our new community. XXXX was provided instructions on how to return the equipment in an email with an Authorization Number. Following the call, I canceled the Auto Pay as the bundled service was already paid for thru XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. Using the provided Authorization Number, XXXX returned all the XXXX equipment on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; two full days before the requested termination date. XXXX acknowledges the equipment return and provided a bill credit of {$4.00} on the XXXX bill but attempts to collect an additional month of service ( XXXX XXXX - XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ). My wife XXXX contacted XXXX via their Live Chat feature on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, in the first attempt to correct this billing error. During that " chat '', she was informed no monies were due, and a corrected bill would be issued. The new bill showed a balance due of {$100.00} for service from XXXX XXXX - XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote to XXXX ( XXXX, NY ) to explain once again why no money was due for any services past XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. I included XXXX references ( a-g ) and provided XXXX documents to support my position. The letter was never acknowledged, and no response was ever received. Upon receipt of yet another bill, I wrote to XXXX ( XXXX, NY ) on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, to explain for the 3rd time why no money was due for any services past XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. I included a copy of the XXXX XXXX letter and documentation to once again support my position. This letter was never acknowledged, and no response was ever received. On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, I received a debt collection notice from XXXX. XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX 's internal debt collection arm ). My wife XXXX and I reached out via phone that same day, and spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX, who recommended we write to them, provide documentation, and the issue would be researched. On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, I did just that. A package containing all the aforementioned documentation and letters was sent to XXXX. XXXX, XXXX via Priority Mail. The XXXX Tracking shows the package was received on Sat, XXXX XXXX at XXXX. To date, this letter was never acknowledged, and no response ever received. On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, I received yet another debt collection notice. This notice is from The CBE Group, Inc ( an external debt collector ). On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, I sent my 5th response with regard to XXXX 's erroneous attempt to collect {$100.00}, for services never received. This package contains all the letters and documentation include in my past four attempts to resolve this matter. The package was posted via XXXX Mail. The XXXX Tracking shows the package was received on Thu, XXXX XXXX at XXXX. To date, this letter has not been acknowledged. Given my four earlier attempts to resolve this issue, I'm not optimistic that this 5th attempt will fare any better, hence my filing of this complaint. We're standing by to provide any additional details/documentation you may require helping me resolve this issue.

In XX/XX/XXXX, the XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) cable, internet, phone services were cancelled and the account was closed after years of being a loyal customer. This service was at my mother 's home, under my name since I lived there 3 years ago. XXXX account # : XXXX. The reason the services were cancelled was because of an exorbitant change in services and the bill price by an unauthorized upgrade made by a XXXX Sales phone agent. The triple service upgrade was made at my mother 's apartment instead of another location. Overall, the regular bill paid doubled from about {$65.00} per month to over {$120.00} a month and the phone service and upgrades were not utilized. My mother who is senior and only has basic cable and basic internet was upgrades without her knowledge to a promotional triple service package with a phone line she or I never accepted or knew the number to. During this upgrade, the technician took the old equipment and did not properly note this in inventory of his seizing the digital adapter that went missing after. Once the account was closed officially it seems on XX/XX/XXXX, the balance jumped from around {$550.00} down to {$230.00} or so after adjustments and much back and forth with the billing department over the next months. I was told that equipment ( a digital adapter for basic cable channel tuning ) was not returned and that was the reason for the charge. I then received a collections bill from the CBE Group on XX/XX/XXXX indicating the cable bill debt was sent to them to collect under CS-Number : XXXX. I objected to this collections debt and mailed a dispute on XX/XX/XXXX to the CBE Group. I immediately called XXXX again and spoke to a supervisor who then had the issue researched via XXXX program. I was then told shortly after that the equipment research ticket was done and the charges were removed leaving a {$0.00} clean balance after the proratings and incorrect package change chargers. The agent confirmed to me that XXXX would formally reach out to CBE Group to let them know to close the collection and remove my name from their list by mail. In the meantime, I called CBE and informed them that this letter would be arriving and to ensure my credit nor name would be reported. I was told nothing was received or could be done yet. Finally, I received a response from CBE on XX/XX/XXXX indicating the debt was valid along with copies of the last 5 billing cycles from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. I called XXXX immediately after and was told mixed answers by various agents. I set up a call back with a supervisor which I never received. At this point, I am being told that the remaining flat {$80.00} balance and collections amount is somehow a valid amount stretching back from the previous months. It is not clear where this balance or flat cent amount comes from especially after being confirmed by an agent that it was in error and brought to {$0.00}. This is notated on the XXXX account memos as I was told. I was not able to confirm if my credit has been affected yet by this invalid and quickly rushed off debt. The amounts kept changing every month after the XX/XX/XXXX closure and after being told the balance was adjusted to {$0.00}, to then hear that I am in collections, is beyond a scam or extortioning manner to collect a balance by ruining a consumer 's credit.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this complaint. I would like for CBE Companies XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX. Telephone ( XXXX ) XXXX Contact person XXXX XXXX to provide me with a receipt of payments made to their office on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX for a disaster loan I received over 14 years ago for about {$5000.00} dollars. They have a lein on my check for almost 12,000 and I have paid them over {$9000.00} I am only interested in making sure this company is on the up and up. Which they obvious is not. If they were, they would have a copy of the letter from the XXXX giving them the authority to collect on their behalf. Also, they would be able to provide me with a copy of the payments that they received. I know that it has be a law requiring them to give me a receipt of the payments they are collecting on behalf of XXXX. They are the one collecting the payments and supposed to be forwarding to XXXX. They are tell me to go to the XXXX and ask them. SBA is telling me they can not talk to me, because it is in the hands of CBE. By the way this company has about 3 different address I have found so far. And not one of them can give me a receipt of the {$2000.00} cash payment I just gave them on XX/XX/2019 over the phone with XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX nor a statement of payment the amount they have received from my employer. This company has never sent me one statement, receipt or validation of this debt ever. Can they really do this? How much have the collected so far? And what is the balance to get this account closed? What company do business like this? They refuse to give me a receipt for payments. I have tried to contact XXXX and they refuse to talk to me because CBE Companies or or Group or whatever there name is this month who is supposed to be collecting the payments. By the way they don't even have a license to collect in my state of Nebraska. ( I have enclosed a copy of the license collection agencies in my state and the law. This company has a garnishment on my check. And I want to pay them off NOW. PLEASE GET ME A COPY OF THE PAYMENTS THEY HAVE RECEIVED AND THE BALANCE I OWE! I have not seen anything like this before in my life. You can't go to the local store and make a payment and not get a receipt, what makes them exempt from providing a receipt of payments they have received. I have contacted my attorney general office and they told them to have me go to a government website to get the balance. Of course that didn't work. They also said they will contact XXXX to get a validation letter of the debt. Shouldn't they have had they before putting a garnishment on my check? I don't know the law, but I know there has to be something governing this unscrupulous collection agencies practices. Isn't it against the law not to keep records of money you are receiving? No business is allowed to do that! They don't want to put anything in writing so they can go on and on collecting payments from me. My XXXX it has already been 14 years. I want this account paid off and closed ASAP. Please help me get a balance and after I pay them, a release letter sent to my employer that his account is paid in full. Thank you for all of your time in getting this debt validate with history of payments and final balance owed. Have a blessed day!

I never gave The CBE Group my direct consent to communicate with me. I received a petition for an alleged debt from them in the amount of {$3100.00}. They list the Internal Revenue Service as a Creditor. I never give out my private dwelling address. I was VERY disturbed when I received something in the mail from an unknown company that I have NEVER done business with. I called the company and I am in possession of the recording where representatives from The CBE Group had access to my private personal information including my social security number. When I responded to the mail they sent me I received one communication where they stated they did not have an account for me but then received two other letters where they stated they were returning an account they referred to " your account '' back to the Internal Revenue Service. It is VERY upsetting and stressful that my information is being transferred without my consent to people I am not giving my direct consent to. I have proof of all documents received from the company and my responses to them along with copies of electronic receipts and tracking numbers from the USPS. I also have two call recordings as well. My information has been breached. The CBE Group also committed mail fraud by sending me nonmailable matters through the mail. I am sick of the deception and false and misleading communications. The CBE Group is willfully in violation of 15 U.S. Code 1692j ( a ) " It is unlawful to design, compile, and furnish any form knowing that such form would be used to create the false belief in a consumer that a person other than the creditor of such consumer is participating in the collection of or in an attempt to collect a debt such consumer allegedly owes such creditor, when in fact such person is not so participating. '' The CBE Group 's response to my last complaint about attempting to collect a debt mentioned, " Our records indicate the account was returned to our client on XX/XX/2021 and is no longer being handled by CBE. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX CBE Compliance ''. This is yet another violation I never gave my direct consent for my private information to be sent to anyone. I am aware that The CBE Group has access to my social security number and private information. Returning MY information to a client constitutes identity theft. My permission was never given. 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. I find the language in every correspondence I received from the company obscene and profane. Every word that I have read and also the conversations I have had with representatives from the company. It is upsetting being harassed and petitioned for a debt when the United States is in Bankruptcy. Too much of my precious time and energy has been wasted dealing with this debt collection company.

Charter Communications has been attempting to collect money from me for over a year. Charter Communications called me repeatedly asking me to make a payment after I terminated my service. I asked them to mail me a bill so that I could ensure the amount they were requesting was correct. They refused to send me a bill, saying they wanted payment over the phone. I told them that I do not give my personal information to people who call me over the phone and also did not believe I owed them as much money as they were stating. I again requested that they send a bill. They refused. I then asked if I could view a statement online, but they stated that I could not, because my service had been terminated. Eventually, I looked up an address for Charter Communications ' billing department online. I received 8 days of Charter Communications service in XXXX, XXXX. I calculated that I owed Charter Communications {$18.00} to pay for those 8 days of service. I wrote a check for {$18.00} and sent it to them on XX/XX/XXXX with ACCORD AND SATISFACTION clearly written on the front and back of the check, indicating that cashing the check satisfied any debt they believed I owed them. Charter Communications cashed that check on XX/XX/XXXX, thereby discharging any financial obligations I had to the company. Shortly after Charter Communications cashed my check, they started having a debt collection agency called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX contact me trying to collect on the same debt that had already been discharged by my payment. I sent them a letter and collection efforts ceased. I thought that the situation was resolved until I received a call while I was at work on XX/XX/XXXX from CBE Group. I had never heard of these people and asked who they were and what they were calling about. CBE asked me for my social security number. I refused to give it to them. The representative from CBE group then told me, " You are one of our clients. '' To which I responded, I am NOT one of your clients. I have no idea who you are and I definitely didn't hire you. The caller continued to try to get confidential information such as my social security number and date of birth and refused to tell me what they were calling about. The following day, I received a debt collection letter in the mail from CBE group, again trying to collect on the XXXX XXXX bill from XX/XX/XXXX. So CBE lied to me when they said that I was their client. They were trying to collect money from me for Charter Communications, which would certainly not make me their client. Charter Communications is engaging in predatory behavior trying to extract money that is NOT owed to them through harassment. If they did not want to accept the check I sent them as satisfaction of the alleged debt, they should not have cashed it. I do not owe XXXX XXXX any money and am tired of the continuous harassment by them and their debt collection agencies.

I have seen a large increase in collections on my credit from THE CBE group and many of them are for the same amount. When I called the company to ask what all of these are they stated that they are XXXX collections and they were for repeated use of the same thing. I asked them for proof of the debt and they stated they would send that to me and after this same request 5 times I finally got the documentation and on that documentation there were over 2 dozen debts that were past the statute of limitations in my state yet they were still collecting on them. There were also debts for the dates that were 1-3 months apart and for the same amounts but no proof of the fact that I was the person seen on those dates. When I asked for more specific information they stated that is all they had to provide. I stated just because you say this is my debt doesn't mean that it is, I asked for proof that I was the person that owes this money, they just stated it was me. I called the company myself to try to get a hold of someone who could clarify this for me and they stated that they had no records of those dates of service. So I again questioned the CBE group and was told that I needed to pay a total of over XXXX when there is only XXXX showing on my credit report. I believe that this company has continued to renew account to report to the Credit bureaus for the sake of damaging my credit and strong arming me paying money I do not owe. I have never been sent proof that this medical debt was me, no proof of the doctors saw me, or any member of my family. The second part of this is that when I spoke to several agents they mentioned that my credit report would be hurt by me not paying the full amount of XXXX. When I was trying to buy a house I offered to pay the amount that was on my credit to get it removed and was told that I have to pay the XXXX or they would not remove a single account from the credit. I then asked if I can pay the specific accounts that are showing on my credit report even though I don't believe they are mine, they stated that now that they know I am paying the accounts XXXX by XXXX they would still not remove accounts that are paid from my credit until I paid all the debt that they say I had in their office which was the XXXX. The agent stated that he was noting this down so any agent would tell me the same thing. The CBE group is a bunch of unregulated scammers that skirt the lines and try to collect on debts they can't prove. I want all accounts from the CBE group off my credit and I want any collections that they claim to have removed from their office. I have paid thousands of dollars more in interest than I should have and have been denied several attempts to purchase a house, cars and get credit cards to attempt to build my credit up due to this company and their shady collection tactics. Thank you for you time.

This is not my account and I did not authorize services at this address at the time. XXXX XXXX reached out to me somehow with this information. I went to file the police report in the statement below. I went to the police station and they advised me to not fill out a fraud affidavit since it seems like the company is trying to pin this on someone, when the matter should be between the landlord and the company. XXXX XXXX did not see that services were on and unpaid for 3 years. I attempted send the statement below to XXXX XXXX with complaint # XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX of this year. It was sent back as invalid or not reachable to XXXX XXXX. Here is what I sent : XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX Police Report # XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX I used to have services connected with XXXX XXXX XXXX for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX from dates XXXX. My previous boyfriend, Mr XXXX is the actual lease holder of each address and I am a lease holder at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX handles my current XXXX XXXX bill. I received an alert from XXXX XXXX that I owe {$1700.00} and that my services were shut off around mid XX/XX/XXXX. I was contacted by XXXX 's XXXX once I called them to get a copy of my current bill ( handled by my landlord ) in XX/XX/XXXX. I was told my services were disconnected in XX/XX/XXXX. I have been in a different address since XX/XX/XXXX. According to XXXX XXXX XXXX, in order to connect services the address would need to be recorded as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX instead of the recorded address of XXXX XXXX XXXX. The Landlord at the address notified the resident of this. I had this utility in my name since being in a relationship with Mr XXXX to assist him in keeping his public housing voucher. I am no longer involved with the resident, even as a friend. From what I remember, the resident was in the hospital getting treatment for XXXX XXXX around XX/XX/XXXX and was released XX/XX/XXXX. I lost contact with him mid year and he notified me that he returned home and his belongings were no longer there. XXXX XXXX XXXX was connected there from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX before it was disconnected. 3 years is a long time to have services with no payment and disconnection. I was not aware of the bill being in my name because my property management company handles my gas bill. I moved into my XXXX location starting a new lease on XX/XX/XXXX. This issue may need to be taken up with the landlord and I should have been contacted sooner to handle this matter. Instead, the bill has festered and the balanced was gradually increasing. I disconnected services in XX/XX/XXXX. I just spoke with the company today to get info on where to fax documents and they stated that a credit representative was not able to reach me at the address on file and I should be receiving a call from them later. Please contact me with any other questions.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from a number identifying themselves as a representative of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX asking for my social security number. I was uncomfortable providing my personal information to a number and company I didn't recognize and asked for mail correspondence to confirm their existence. I received that letter on XX/XX/2020 indicating that I had owed XXXX ( account XXXX ) nearly {$150.00} for an unidentified service. I contacted XXXX to understand what the charge was for. I called multiple times and went to two of their local stores, each time being told that I did not have an account with XXXX. I filed a dispute letter with XXXX XXXX sent XX/XX/2020 and received by certified mail on XX/XX/2020 explaining that I had no services through XXXX except for my parents ' phone plan, but that my parents covered that bill and it would not be charged to me. I did not receive a response within 30 days nor have I received any response thereafter, and I allowed XXXX XXXX an additional month due to delays that may have occurred during the pandemic before filing a dispute with the 3 credit reporting agencies on XX/XX/2020. I learned following the filing of the dispute letter that this debt collection action was reported to the credit reporting agencies. I am awaiting a response from those credit agencies within the next few weeks. However, I received a letter on XX/XX/2020 from a group identifying themselves as CBE Group trying to collect the same debt. I am initially concerned that XXXX XXXX is trying to skirt the protections of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by assigning the debt to a new company after receiving my dispute letter, which put XXXX XXXX on notice that it could not make attempts to collect on the debt. I guess I now will have to dispute the debt with CBE, taking additional time and money. This complaint was further motivated by a call I just received today ( XX/XX/2020 ) from an individual identifying them self as a representative of CBE from phone number XXXX XXXX. This individual began trying to confirm my identification by listing part of my social security number and address without first confirming my identity. I told him that I was uncomfortable continuing the conversation and that all future communications should be by mail. I am VERY concerned that my personal information is being misused and may easily fall into the hands of others. I still have not received any information that I owe XXXX any money, and they have confirmed to me by phone and in person that I do not have an account with them. I have not received any services from XXXX outside of my parents ' phone plan. Now, my personal information is potentially being compromised, and I am dealing with 2 debt collection agencies without having been apprised of the grounds for the debt collection action.

This is unbelievable. I already did this earlier in the year for both of these companies! XXXX XXXX continues to send a false collection to agencies seeking payment. They appear to have a fraudulent system in place to automatically start phone services on devices purchased from their website. In XX/XX/XXXX, I purchased a phone from XXXX XXXX. The device was returned, services were not activated, and credit for the purchase of the device was issued. An online account was never created, despite customer service representatives trying to force this in order for me to accept whatever terms, conditions and privacy policies they had. I refused. XXXX started the phone service for the device automatically and continued charging an account I did not create or authorize. This happened for months. I contacted XXXX and after hours of being transferred around, I was told the account would be closed and a credit issued. This did not happen. They continued billing this false account for a phone service never activated. Attempts to reach the XXXX billing department were useless. They would not answer calls being transferred to them. Then I received a debt collection with an amount even greater than when I was told the " false '' account would be closed and credited. More attempts to resolve with XXXX were a nightmare. The credit agency wanted proof and refused to investigate. XXXX was claiming they could not do anything now because the account was handed over to collection. After hours of being transferred from one team or supervisor to the next, eventually, a representative investigated and confirmed ( again ) that the device was returned, and services were not activated. Apparently there are notes when this was supposed to happen the first time I was told the account would be closed and credited, but it never happened. XXXX again told me the account would be credited and closed. She also sent me an email stating this, which I then forwarded to the first debt collector, XXXX. Now XXXX has sent the collection to another credit collection agency, CBE Group, again. They were the first group trying to make a collection. This is now the 3rd collection attempt between two different collection agencies being used to transfer a false debt back and forth! I filed a complaint here on XX/XX/XXXX which clearly has been ignored by XXXX and the debt collectors. This is full on harassment and fraud from the start. XXXX appears to have a system in place that automatically begins services that a customer did not authorize, simply based on a web purchase. Attempts to resolve are nearly impossible and now they are using debt collectors to send a false collection from one collector to another. I have lost many hours and days of my life chasing this issue which is going nowhere.

To CBE Group Inc. Date : XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX IA. XXXX On XX/XX/2023, I requested Information from your company to which you were not able to provide within a thirty-day period. You attempted to circumvent my request by addressing your response to my wife, XXXX XXXX, when I alone XXXX XXXX, was the one who initially wrote the request. Your Collection company, verbally claimed to me, to have been given my IRS account by the IRS. By law, IRS selling or relinquishing my account to a collection agency releases their authority to collect funds form said client ( s ). The Collection agency ( CBE ) must provide any, and all legal information pertaining to the said clients account upon request. Your company failed to provide any valid information from your company in reference to the account in question. Anyone could find out who owes money to the IRS and claim to be an entity to collect said funds ( if they have the skill set to do so ) IRS data base has been breached before, so the publics information is not secure as it should be. IRS never provided me with a name of the any company as being a company authorized to collect said funds on their behalf or as the entity, they have sold the account to for collections. Note : I was making monthly installment payments to IRS through my XXXX XXXX account when IRS stopped receiving the payments. In my attempt to contact IRS via a personal interview there were no local interviews available in the XXXX area resulting in me having to drive three hours away from my home to XXXX XXXX, to have a face-to-face review of my account. I was set up to interview with an older lady that could not answer any questions, nor did she know how to access the information requested. I asked to see a supervisor because she could not answer any question. She stated there wasnt a supervisor on grounds and that I would have to reschedule. She was completely incompetent to working the position and could not help me to understand the reason for the charges incurred on the account. IRS makes it so difficult to contact them to get an understanding of accounts to the point that people cant get their questions answered. Yet the people are held to IRS statement regardless of IRS being right or the customer. IRS will delay the people on purpose while charging them for those delays which is so unfair. I am requesting the removal of all accounts baring my name and XXXX XXXX name from your accounts/ legers. I am also requesting no reporting to any credit reporting agency of this none- collectable account. I will also send a copy of this letter to the Federal Trade Commission, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the State Attorney General Office.

It has come to my attention that I have a bill with bon secours in the amount of {$240.00}. I have not received one bill from bon secours providing detailed information regarding this particular bill balance. This particular bill was bought to my attention by amcall systems which is a collection agency used by bon secours. I advised and call that I was not aware of this particular XXXX 's details and that I need it and itemized statement if I recall correctly they were going to send this particular XXXX back to XXXX XXXX. I am not sure if they did that or not but it doesn't seem they did because today I received a call from the CBE Group which is a different collection agency that apparently will sue those who have a debt. I advise the CBE group that I wasn't sure about this bill and I wanted an itemized statement, the representative advised she would put in a request for it but I also contacted XXXX XXXX directly to consult with them about this particular bill. According to the XXXX Representatives I spoke with they claim that statements were sent to me via mail from XXXX XXXX. I have received other bills from XXXX XXXX just fine but I have not received this bill and they are not willing to bring the bill out of collections to give me an opportunity to review the bill. As of moments ago they sent me a digital itemized statement of charges via mychart.mybox.com/mychart/billing/details. I have logged in to view both of those statements which are duplicates actually and they are not itemized the only thing on these XXXX statements is information regarding my patient details which are my name account number balance service date facility and Department along with my address. On the portion of the statement that shows charges the only thing it shows is the service date the REV.code, THE PROCEDURE CODE, THE DESCRIPTION, A QUANTITY, AND AMOUNT OF {$1000.00} AND THEN IT SHOWS PAYMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS OF A PAYMENT DATE OF XX/XX/2022 WITH A DESCRIPTION NEXT TO THAT SAYING XXXX XXXX PAYMENTS IN THE AMOUNT OF {$260.00} AND UNDER THAT IT SHOWS INSURANCE ADJUSTMENTS MINUS {$510.00} PATIENT PAYMENT {$42.00} WITH A TOTAL PAYMENT AND ADJUSTMENT BALANCE OF {$820.00} IN ADJUSTMENTS LEAVING A OUTSTANDING INSURANCE BALANCE OF XXXX AND A CURRENT PATIENT BALANCE OF {$200.00}. THIS IS NOT AN ITEMIZED STATEMENT AND ITEMIZED STATEMENT SHOULD TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT THAT XXXX IS COMPRISED OF. I WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS CHARGED FOR IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM SO THAT I CAN CONFIRM THAT EVERYTHING IS ACCURATE AND XXXX XXXX IS NOT PROVIDING THAT. PLEASE EXCUSE THE CAPITAL LETTERS I DON'T KNOW WHY IT HAS DEFAULTED TO CAPS.

This illegitimate debt that was already PAID IN FULL to XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX in XXXX and XXXX XXXX working with each other and was handed over by them to CBE Group , Inc. in the last year XXXX for possible more illegal collection. CBE Group , Inc. has attempted on many occasions to contact me by mail and phone regarding this PAID IN FULL amount as seen on the photos attached herein. They have also tried personal harassment at my gym, shopping centers, and eateries as well as following me in cars and trucks of which my attorneys private investigators have video taped and cross checked names and address 's of the owners of said vehicles and employment histories.. We have turned all information to the Ca. State Attorney Generals offices as well as the FBI Offices in XXXX Ca. for Highly illegal EXTORTION attempts as well as Collusion to commit crime as an organization under Federal RICO Act. Stated clearly in the document using U.S. MAIL system on the envelope it was mailed in constitutes Federal Mail Fraud and that is included per the photos enclosed.. XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX handed this file over to CBE Group , Inc. knowing full well it had been previously PAID IN FULL in XXXX for the amount of {$2300.00} and Nothing was then owed again.. CBE Group, Inc. then attempted ti send letters dated XX/XX/XXXX!! to collect an additional {$710.00} that was part of the original payoff to XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX in XXXX per XXXX answer to the complaint filed on XX/XX/XXXX here in CFPB. So how does a NEW. bill show up for the same PAID IN FULL account XXXX years PREVIOUS?! This is a classic " Handoff '' the FBI has informed my attorney to collect further debt illegally and with malice intended of a debt not owed.. CBE Group , Inc. knows full well that my name was changed legally in XXXX XXXX XXXX for inheritance purposes from XXXX XXXX , my step dads family name to, XXXX XXXX as per my Ca. State Drivers license, U.S. Passport and Social Security Number. They know this clearly and still harass by using a prior legal name that has been changed for over 3 years. It's clear they don't think the law applies to them so we will have show them that it does apply. The recently passed Collection Act in XXXX of XXXX will soon see addendums being added to it to curb all illegal activities of Collection Co 's in Ca. as per our conversations with law enforcement and judiciary commitees. The DRE, Construction Licensing, Labor, Medical, Insurance, review boards came into existence in California and Federally for this very reason.. To many idiots that think they are above the law and abusing it regularly...

I received a credit alert from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TX XXXX that CBE made a change to my credit report on or about XXXX XXXX, 2016. I do not know what this attempt is to collect the debt, however, XXXX XXXX has attempted 5-6 times to collect this debt I do not owe and has not provided the services contracted since XXXX XXXX, 2016. Services was contracted with XXXX XXXX and has been contracted with XXXX XXXX for approximately 14 years when recently ( last 1 1/2 years ) and is currently still under contract, the contracted provider started charging excessive fees, interrupted services, billed for services not contracted, failed to render services as contracted, and closed the account without authorization or consideration for number portability. Failed to respond to FCC complaints. ( FCC Complaint # ( s ) : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) Requesting for consumer, XXXX XXXX XXXX to pay to terminate contract and services not provided and/or billed. Will attach additional information pertaining to payments and services. This is the second collection agency obtained by XXXX and I have not been provided the services I contracted since XXXX XXXX, 2016. This letter from XXXX XXXX references a home-based internet line : XXXX that was not further contracted after XXXX XXXX, 2016 when the contract ended. It was under the same account number ( XXXX ) as the voice ( talk, text, and data ) line reported : XXXX to the FCC after the line was disconnected on XXXX XXXX, 2016. XXXX is still contracted. I have not agreed to terminate my contract ( will not be paying an early termination fee of {$140.00} ) for this line and XXXX does not have this line connected for use as anyone that attempts to contact this number can understand when calling this number. This is the third attempt to collect on a XXXX bill in which services have not been rendered. I will not be paying for non-contracted services, services not rendered under this account or for not having service. You have been paid all you are due. XXXX XXXX has solicited multiple companies to collect on a debt not contracted, owed, or due and all have ceased collection activity on their behalf and notified both the consumer and the CFPB that collections have been ceased. XXXX has been the most recent company to cease collection on behalf of XXXX XXXX concerning this matter. Now on this attempt, XXXX has changed the number in specifics as to what the collection is indicated for ; indicating a contract for internet that was not renewed on XXXX XXXX, 2016 due to no longer needing it. I will file a complaint with XXXX as well.

XX/XX/XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Iowa XXXX RE : CBE Group Churning Consumers Credit Reports This is regarding an issue with CBE Group and what appears to be a deceptive tactic of churning consumers credit reporting while ignoring requests to provide backup or even original invoices of their claim. It appears that there is a systemic tactic CBE Group engages in through the following experience : 1. The noted collection company issues a claim that shows on my credit report in XXXX. 2. I believe most consumers pay the trivial amount chalking it up to an oversight, however, in my case the claim was over {$1700.00} so I disputed the claim, requested backup details from the collection company, requested backup details from the creditor. 4. I receive no response as expected since there were no dealings with the creditor for literally years further believing the claim is suspect. 5. However, I am somewhat satisfied when the claim subsequently dropped from the my credit report in XXXX. 6. Approximately 90 days later, in the spring of XXXX a new claim appears with the suspect date of the previous month. It is with the same creditor as in XXXX and is presented by CBE Group with an original date less than 30 days prior to their posting on my credit report. The amount appears to be slightly different than the one addressed 90 days prior. 7. I disputed this claim as I did the first one, requested backup details from the collection company, and requested backup details from the creditor. 8. Again, I receive no response as expected since there were no dealings with the creditor within the previous year. 9. Again, I am somewhat satisfied when the claim subsequently dropped from my credit report in spring XXXX. 10. CBE Group has deployed this process on me personally now for the third time this year as recently as XXXX, XXXX showing a new claim on my credit report while Ive disputed this since the fall of XXXX. 11. The tactic shortcuts their having to provide any details or backup information on the debt and by refreshing the claim dates they are churning my credit report which likely takes much less effort. This process for me is approaching 2 years while they are presenting it as a last month occurrence. This could be explained away as an oversight or clerical error. However, the fact that theyve deployed this process three times this year shows its more than a one off occurrence and more of a systemic tactic deployed to deceive the credit reporting agencies at the expense of the consumer.

On XX/XX/XXXX I noticed a blocked missed call from a company labeled as CBE Group on my cell phone. When I opened the missed call notification, the history showed 3 separate calls from XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX EST, XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX EST and XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX EST. I finally decided to call them back on XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX EST since none of the calls resulted in a voice message. When a woman answered the phone she stated they were a debt collection agency and began to ask me to confirm my information. I refused because I could not be sure this wasn't a scam. She asked if she was speaking with XXXX XXXX and if my address was XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX GA XXXX ... which it is not. I confirmed my name but told her the address was wrong and I hadn't lived at that location for over 5 years. I asked her multiple times what this was regarding and she stated this was a debt from XXXX received by them from another collection agency XXXX XXXX XXXX. After going back and forth with her about the age of the debt, I asked for written communication regarding this supposed debt I owed because we were one week away from the end of XXXX and I'm receiving phone calls from their company about an almost 16 year old debt? She then transfers me to her " supervisor '' who I proceeded to ask the same request. I will not confirm or acknowledge anything without something in writing stating that this is even my account as well as who they are in this process. After about 15 mins of him trying to convince me that they were just looking to help me set up a payment arrangement, he finally agreed to mail me notification. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a notice from CBE dated XX/XX/XXXX claiming that XXXX XXXX XXXX forwarded this debt in the amount of {$430.00} to them. The notice states the original creditor is XXXX and the current creditor is XXXX XXXX. The notice also states that due to the age of the account I can not be sued by either CBE or XXXX XXXX. Nowhere in this communication does it state anything regarding this original account, nor does it include dates of any kind. So, my question is what is the purpose of this entire scenario? What is the goal here? I still have not received anything showing this was ever my account ; I don't have anything from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( who I worked with earlier in XXXX to pay off an old debt so they ABSOLUTELY have my current information ) and if I dispute this then I start a legal clock that otherwise doesn't exist.

On the week of XX/XX/XXXX I received a phone call from the CBE group requesting identifying information from me. I explained to the representative that I was unable to provide information as I was at work and sit in a communal office. I requested she not contact me until after XXXX, where I would be in a secure location and be able to provide personal information. I received over a dozen calls between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX between the hours of XXXX - XXXX, of which I was unable to answer due to being at work. I was able to answer 1 call on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX. I confirmed with the gentleman that my account specified not to contact me prior to XXXX, and explained I was, again, in a communal office setting unable to provide identifying and personal information. The gentleman asked if I would like to be marked as " Do not contact '' to which I explicitly said " No '' and explained I would be more than willing to provide any necessary information after XXXX to a CBE representative. I received no calls after XX/XX/XXXX. I received a notice of " Potentially Negative Activity '' from my bank on XX/XX/XXXX notifying me that the CBE group placed a Major Derogatory on my credit report. I called CBE Group and spoke to an account representative, and she informed me that my account had been marked " Do Not Contact ''. I had received XXXX information regarding the alleged debt from the CBE Group and they refused to contact me during times in which I specified I would be willing and able to provide the required personal information to them prior to having my credit report flagged for an outstanding alleged debt. When I spoke with the representative on XX/XX/11 around XXXX I requested information be sent to my current address and asked for the major derogatory be removed from my credit report as they had not provided me with any information on the debt, continually contacted me during hours I specified I would not be available, and refused to contact me after XXXX. She explained they would contact the bank and have it removed- which has not been done. The major derogatory is still present on my account and negatively affecting my credit, specifically my credit score ( which has historically been very good ) has dropped XXXX points, and has not recovered since the major derogatory was placed on it. I have a complete recording of the entire phone call from XX/XX/XXXX and will provide if requested.

To Whom It May Concern : I had taken out two ( 2 ) Parent Loans for my son when he attended XXXX University. He left college and the loan payments came due at a time I was dealing with debt left by a divorce. Rather than file bankruptcy I opted to settle with all creditors except for the parent loans. As time went by they did start a garnishment XX/XX/XXXX. My employer has deducted {$190.00} every two ( 2 ) weeks beginning XX/XX/XXXX per the United States Government Wage Garnishment Order ( XXXX ) in the amount of {$20000.00}. I contacted the Creditor Agency ( CBE ) last week to confirm the date I thought this should be paid in full ( approx XX/XX/XXXX ). I was told I still had {$5500.00} plus to pay and interest accrues daily. At that time I requested a transaction history on the collection of my two ( 2 ) accounts. I received their transaction history report that carries NO BALANCES. I received the payment history from my employer that carries remaining balance after every payment. I created a spreadsheet using BOTH CBE and my employer. First, the garnishment order of {$20000.00} consists of : 2 parent loans totaling {$14000.00}, Interest due of {$1900.00} and CBE Fees and Costs of {$3900.00}. Secondly, in addition to CBE 's fees/cost of {$3900.00} INCLUDED in the garnishment, they have collected ADDITIONAL fees of {$37.00} every two ( 2 ) weeks processing payments received as follows : XX/XX/XXXX - {$410.00} XX/XX/XXXX - {$1000.00} XX/XX/XXXX - {$970.00} XX/XX/XXXX - {$220.00} ( as of XX/XX/XXXX payment processed of XX/XX/XXXX payroll deduction - Why does it take so long for them to process? ) The collection company is receiving over half the cost of the original debt IN FEES to collect the debt. It 's a wonder anyone goes to college or that parents take out these loans not knowing what the future holds financially for them. Both myself and my employer have a total balance left on my garnishment of {$1700.00} per the payroll deduction of XX/XX/XXXX ( which CBE processed XX/XX/XXXX per their transaction history report ). CBE verbally told me I had a {$5500.00} plus balance as of XX/XX/XXXX. Finally, How can a wage garnishment order that is almost fulfilled have a balance that can keep growing seemingly never to end? Where are the checks and balances for the consumer or in this case debtor? Is n't a garnishment order for a specified amount only as listed in black and white on mine?

Unjustified Billing and Negative Credit Implications Due to XXXX 's Administrative Error XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA, XXXX [ Your Address ] [ City, State, Zip ] [ Email Address ] [ Phone Number ] XX/XX/2023 Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to lodge a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX concerning a billing error that has since escalated to an unwarranted debt collection action, which might adversely affect my credit rating. The genesis of this issue was an attempt to open an account with XXXX online on [ insert date ], which, due to some unknown hindrance, was not successful. During the account setup process, a XXXX agent collected my personal details, including my Date of Birth, Social Security Number, and address. Despite spending nearly two hours online with the agent, the account was not set up. Frustrated, I decided to abort the process and explicitly requested the agent to cease any further attempts to create the account. Surprisingly, I received a bill of {$170.00} from XXXX a few weeks later. Upon receiving the bill, I immediately contacted XXXX customer care at XXXX and explained the predicament. They acknowledged an error on their part, assuring me that the matter would be resolved internally and that I should disregard the bill. Despite this assurance, I continued receiving bills from XXXX. Believing that the issue would be rectified soon, I did not follow up until I received a bill from a debt collection agency, CBE Group, located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX, with a contact number of XXXX. For reference, the XXXX account number mentioned in the bill is XXXX, and my case reference number with CBE Group is XXXX. Now, I am faced with the undue stress of liaising with the debt collection agency to resolve an error that was not of my making. Moreover, there is a looming threat to my credit rating, which, if affected, will lead to higher interest rates on credit, causing me financial loss. I kindly urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate this matter and facilitate a resolution that will rectify the erroneous billing, halt the unwarranted debt collection action, and prevent any negative implications on my credit score. Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious issue. I am willing to provide further information if needed and look forward to your expedient response. Yours faithfully, XXXX XXXX

Where there is no fair valuable consideration given, the contract or agreement is void ab inito. The debt is non-transferable. If it is a contract for credit or goes to the character of the parties, it can not be transferred or assigned. No state can make a law impairing contracts, Under OHIO LAW U.C.C 1319.12 Taking assignment of debts ( 3 ) The assignment was manifested by a written agreement separate from and in addition to any document intended for the purpose of listing the account, bill, or other evidence of indebtedness with the collection agency. The written agreement shall state the effective date of the assignment and the consideration paid or given, if any, for the assignment and shall expressly authorize the collection agency to refer the assigned account, bill, or other evidence of indebtedness to an attorney admitted to the practice of law in this state for the commencement of litigation. The written agreement also shall disclose that the collection agency may consolidate, for purposes of filing an action, the assigned account, bill, or other evidence of indebtedness with those of other creditors against an individual debtor or co-debtors.

I was XXXX by a XXXX stranger in a hotel near XXXX, Utah. I suffered a XXXX. I was forced to go to the hospital by police. I did not want to go. When at the hospital, I told them I want to be released. After the hospital personnel resisted my request and my repeated request to be released, they would only do so if I signed a release. O signed a release document to be released at my own risk. I then walked home at about XXXX XXXX. in the morning. XXXX owned by XXXX attempted to collect a medical bill when I had told them all along it was a XXXX and I wanted to be released. I did not authorize the treatment and I did not commit the assault crime against me. Eventually XXXX gave the account to CBE, a debt collection company and I was sent a collection notice. I responded on writing with a letter containing my explaination for disputing the debt, informed them of my rights according to FCRA laws and stated for them to cease and desist. I also gave them documentation regarding the offender 's court case with DA and Judge for the case of assault. CBE Group then told me they are closing my file and sending it back to XXXX. That was approximately XX/XX/XXXX, because my letter was sent XX/XX/XXXX. Months and months later I received another letter attempting to collect the debt. I informed CBE with a letter that I had already disputed it and they had my letter with documentation about the court case for an assault by a stranger on me. I also informed them that they are violating FCRA laws by attempting to collect it again and contacting me to do so after I have told them in writing to cease and desist as per FCRA regulations. I then called CBE and explained again. I was promised by the CBE representative that they would remove the collection and close my file. They said they would take care of it. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a credit alert email and when I looked at my XXXX credit report, CBE had made an entry that my account was in collections and my score dropped significantly. I have filed a dispute with the credit agency and reporting the error. Again, it is not my debt for reasons already explained. I can send copies of the letter I sent to CBE Group along with documentation showing the perpetrator 's court case, sentencing, DA information, Judge, etc. I am reporting this collection matter now as an FCRA violation and as fraudulent.

I received many calls from CBE Group on multiple phone numbers multiple times per day. One was also my XXXX number. I was unaware of any unpaid debts so I was concerned it was a scam. CBE refused to give me info regarding who they are or more information without me telling them my personal details. I understand they need to verify who they are speaking with but there's so many scams and they wouldn't give me any information at all. I was uncomfortable and spoke to an attorney. I was advised to tell them to mail me info instead of the continued multiple calls daily while I was working. I have not since heard from them. I never received anything in the mail notifying me of any debt for me to verify. Now, I have the amount added to my credit reports but have never received a bill from XXXX or CBE Group mailed to verify what I owe money for. I do not believe the debt is accurate. Now that it's on my credit it says it is for XXXX ( I assume it's XXXX I never had a XXXX account ). I otherwise would not have known what I owe and to whom since CBE would not tell me. I went online a long time ago and paid my balance ( after cancellation ) down to XXXX. I have it on my credit reports, however, I was not asked by XXXX to pay anything more. ( XXXX also calls excessively multiple times daily if bills are owed so not sure how I still owe them anything ) This all happened during COVID shutdowns and I was not employed. I had no income, stimulus or otherwise, for over 9 weeks. I would have had an opportunity to speak to the companies regarding this or to request postponement if I was made aware of a bill or what the debt was for. I spoke to XXXX previously explaining I was temporarily unemployed due to COVID. I was not able to pay and they were informed of that. I cancelled service due to that after they raised my rates IN XXXX. I have since gone to my XXXX account and the amount it showed that was due I DID pay IN FULL once I had money again. I have not received anything since then saying I owed more money than what I paid on my account. This is an abuse of the credit reporting system. I simply asked to have a letter or something so I knew what the debt was for. Also, I believe it's an unethical tactic to get paid without actually providing me sufficient documentation of what is owed. The XXXX acct is XXXX It now shows closed but XXXX balance.

On or about XX/XX/XXXX I signed up for XXXX XXXX home internet service. This offer was for a 30 day free trial of the XXXX internet service. It reportedly included free installation and ability to cancel within 30 days without obligation. The service started on XX/XX/XXXX, but I could not use it until the XXXX or XXXX due to faulty wiring. An installer came and fixed a problem with the wiring and I used the service for 2-3 days. On the XXXX of XXXX I called XXXX and canceled the service because the internet was too slow ( took 2-3 minutes to load my email browser, unable to stream data ). The representative canceled my service and sent out a return kit for me to return the XXXX modem that they had provided for the service. I received the return kit on the XXXX of XXXX and sent it back to XXXX on or about the XXXX of XXXX. ( They give you 30 days to return it ) In the middle of XXXX, I received a bill from XXXX for XXXX XXXX This bill included charges for the prorated service from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX as well as XXXX $ for Modem/Router combo. I Called XXXX and told them that I had returned the router and it needed to be removed from the bill. The representative told me that " Don't worry, that's not your final bill, once the modem is received in the 'system ' they will issue a new bill with an adjustment. '' In XXXX I received the same bill from XXXX, I called and spoke to multiple people from their company trying to resolve this issue, they kept telling me that " it's a valid charge. '' I told them that I would not pay for a router I had returned to them. In XXXX I called again ( unknown day ) and spoke to more people, again I was told the same thing. I even asked to speak to a manager and got nowhere. I even had to ask several times for " someone who speaks my language '' because most of the reps had thick XXXX accents and I could not understand them at all. I decided to not pay them at all, and on XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from XXXX XXXX ( a debt collector ) on behalf of XXXX trying to collect the debt. I called and told them that the debt is not valid and they told me to send them a written rebuttal. I will not do this because they will simply tell XXXX my side and XXXX will say " It's a valid debt '' I'm frustrated and tired of dealing with this company that I had services from for just 6 days

RE : CBE Account # XXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX Account Owner : XXXX XXXX To Whom it May Concern : The collection of this debt is related to the return of a mobile device to XXXX XXXX ( " XXXX '' ). I obtained a new mobile device pursuant to the terms of warranty agreement related to XXXX Account No. XXXX and was instructed to return the defective phone to XXXX. This account has now been closed, but I am still a XXXX customer under another account number. After confirming the address for the return with XXXX, the phone was returned to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, Texas via XXXX XXXX, Tracking No. XXXX XXXX XXXX, and was delivered on XXXX XXXX, XXXX at XXXX XXXX. The XXXX XXXX label and tracking information can be provided. Wanting to allow for time for the return to be processed, on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX was contacted directly to confirm that the phone had been returned and that the account balance reflected that {$0.00} was due. I was informed that since his account was in collections, I had to communicate with the collection agency handling the account. After contacting XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Acct. # XXXX ), I was advised the account had been transferred to another agency, XXXX XXXX ( Acct. # XXXX ). A representative from XXXX XXXX advised me they had no record of the phone being returned and that it may take additional time for the XXXX records to reflect that the phone was returned. No additional correspondence from any collection agency has been received since a statement dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX from XXXX XXXX. Thereafter, I began receiving telephone calls from unknown numbers, but was not left any voice messages. I discovered one of those calls was from CBE Group after I called the number back with my fiancee on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The above scenario was explained via phone and I was instructed to send a written letter disputing the debt. That letter was sent via regular mail on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and no response has been received. I verified via an online account today that this debt is still with CBE Group and an outstanding balance is still owed. The debt is being disputed since the phone was returned. Ultimately, CBE Group is attempting to collect a debt that does not exist due to the circumstances explained above. The phone was returned to the address as was instructed by XXXX.

CBE company calls me frequently, each time from a different phone number. They never leave a message to tell me who is calling or why or how much I owe. Sometimes they have called multiple times in a row. I only know it is from CBE group because my phone gives me caller ID and I check unknown numbers online. I have tried reaching out to them about their calls, asking them not to contact me at work ( they only stopped calling me during work starting XXXX despite me telling them my days off way before then ) and when I ask why they keep calling they are vague and refuse to tell me what I owe, how much I owe, what it is from, a reference or account number, or literally ANYTHING that I could use to find out information about this supposed debt. I can't even call the numbers they call me from most of the time because no one answers or it says the number is no longer in service. They have been calling me for quite a while, at least since the beginning of XXXX ( possibly before, but I did not have caller ID on my old phone so I don't know for sure ). It seems like every time I try and use their website to get a phone number, the number is different so I stopped trying to contact them because I didn't know that there was any way I could report them or find out ANY information. I do not have any letters from them that I can find ( I have been saving every letter for the past month and a half to see if they may finally mail me something ) and I'm frustrated. I have no information on them other than a name ( CBE group ) and the fact that according to my caller ID, they call from a LOT of different phone numbers. I have stopped answering their calls at all because I have no evidence that I owe them a debt and I will not talk to them again until I have that information ( in the past when I picked up, they started calling daily ). My phone only saves missed calls for a month so I have limited information unless my cell provider keeps those records for longer. For the dates I currently have access to, they called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Those are the times caller ID was noted on my phone. I also received quite a few other calls from numbers tied to the group ( according to XXXX, however, my caller ID did not mark those calls as from them, all of those were on days I worked ).

I am disputing the debt collection practices of " XXXX '' and their associated debt collector, " The CBE Group , Inc. '' In XXXX of 2015, I closed my XXXX XXXX account, and settled the final bill over the phone. I was told by the agent that the bill was settled. In XXXX of 2015, I received an email from XXXX stating that I had a balance on my account. I explained to XXXX that the " early termination fee '' was incorrect, the agent said it would not be applied, and the situation was resolved over the phone. In the months following, I received no email, phone call, mail, text or other communication from XXXX. In XXXX of 2015, I realized that I had a collection on my account ( only after checking my credit report ) for the months of XXXX 2015XX/XX/XXXX 2015, which negatively impacted my credit score. Because I never received notification of the collection, XXXX and CBE violated the FDCPA - XXXX U.S.C. section XXXX XXXX XXXX ) which states : " A debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt.

On XX/XX/2021, I was completely enrolled with University XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for online classes studying cyber security. My enrollment coach was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX ext. XXXX. When enrolling I made sure I asked her multiple times does the college accepts vouchers from my employer to pay for the college. The response was yes I never encountered problem with your company and our college I help multiple students from your employer and never had an issue. I made sure I asked because I know Im not financially strong to pay on my own or out of pocket. XXXX XXXX it clear that I shouldnt run into any problems when processing my grades so the school received the payment. I was advised to apply for financial aid but not for a student loan only grants and I was not approved. After completing the first class with excellent grades and processing the payments. My job notified me that the school was not accepting my payments because they did not list my job to accept vouchers only reimbursement which mean I have to pay first out of pocket then I get my money back. And I was told by XXXX I dont have to do that. The payments can be sent directly to the school and I spoke with multiple employees in the financial aid department and they all said they will fix it not to worry. Also I spoke with XXXX XXXX her name is XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX : XXXX Ext. XXXX Enrollment XXXX Manager, Enrollment Services. I was speaking with her and she kept pushing to have my job pay for the few and my phone was damaged so their was a little delay with my response, but I told her that my employers are not able to pay because the school doesnt accept it and she never responded and two months later I received a call on XX/XX/2021 from CBE group a debt collection agency saying I owe money. I honestly cant remember the amount that I was told but it was XXXX XXXX and some change. I was giving incorrect information and the school wasnt trying to help they were just trying to get me enrolled in classes again. Every time I enter the class room the fee just kept going up and no one was nice enough to say lets fix this issue before you start classes again and your fees keep insurance. They all wanted me to join classes. And didnt care about my situation.

I was receiving multiple calls from a number I did not recognize, which turned out to be CBE groups, a collections agency trying to contact me. Knowing I had nothing in collections and nothing reporting to the CRA I answered one of their calls on XX/XX/XXXX only to receive a dead air call. I called them back and was immediately read my mini-miranda. After giving the rep my phone, name, and social security number and current address, which I have resided at since moving back from XXXX in XXXX, the rep kept stating I owed a debt but would not give me info as to who the original debtor was because I didn't have the correct address, so I did a cease and desist to stop all calls. They later started to contact my family, so I contacted them again on XX/XX/XXXX to do a cease and desist on all calls that have to do with their account due to lack of information. However, after extensive research and due to not receiving a validation of debt letter within 5 days of speaking with me I did not feel comfortable with how the reps were responding to the situation. I called once again on XX/XX/XXXX to ask for their address so I can not only send a written cease and desist letter but a validation of debt letter as well. However the rep disconnected the call. I called back immediately and the second rep started to argue with me that I did not need to know their address, after 6 minutes of arguing the rep gave me the address of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX which is a different address to the one on their website which is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent out a cease and desist letter as well as a request of validation of debt letter via certified mail with tracking number to both addresses. The XXXX address signed for it on XX/XX/XXXX and the XXXX XXXX address signed for it on XX/XX/XXXX. It has now reached the 30 day period normally given to receive a response for the information requested as well as a letter stating they have received my cease and desist letters. I would just like the collections agency to return both verification that they have put my phone and family members phones on a cease and desist and I would like a validation of debt letter sent to me, so I don't have to worry about them in the future.

I have an unfair negative factor towards my credit on my credit reports reported by CBE group. The information below for " Negative Factors of my credit '', indicates a collection agency CBE Group indicated in XXXX date filed or first reported and the date last reported was on XXXX as a negative factor towards my credit report. This is is false information and I 'm disputing it. The only payment dispute I had was in XXXX. Back then, I had discontinued a portion of my XXXX services that involves XXXX. I paid in full through XXXX for discontinuing the XXXX service XXXX that was offered through XXXX 's advertisement and payment through XXXX 's billing. XXXX came back to bully me for an additional {$250.00} to be paid to them while XXXX indicated as far as they were concerned I was paid in full. Prior to this, I had only had communication with XXXX for this TV satellite service and XXXX refused to correct XXXX. I then refused to additionally pay XXXX the {$250.00} and XXXX has haunted me since via various collection agencies attempts originated by them since XXXX. Now this new credit issue on my record ( see below ) indicates a new development in XXXX is absolutely false. If this new dispute of XXXX has originated by my past dispute with XXXX then it 's time for them to stop harassing me via by falsifying information as an attempt to lower my credit rating. I suspect there has to be a law that makes this criminal business practices or at the very least extreme negligence by XXXX whose joint venture with XXXX while both were acting as XXXX entity under XXXX advertising and billing. __________ ( info from credit report ) -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- NEGATIVE FACTORS Your most recent collection account is 1 year and 3 months old.

I have an outstanding student loan through the Department of Education and my wages are being garnished. It was turned over to the CBE Group for collection and I do not dispute the loan or amount owed. The CBE Group advised me of a rehabilitation program to get my debt paid off and I have been trying to set this up for about 5 months now to no avail. According to the terms of this rehabilitation program per CBE, I would have to pay an additional $ XXXX/month on top of the garnishment for 5 consecutive months before the garnishment would be lifted and, at that time, the loan would be turned back over to Dept. of Education. It was explained that I needed to pay this additional fee to " prove '' to them I was serious about repaying my debt. I 've never heard of such a thing and have spoken to countless employees and a supervisor at CBE imploring them to reconsider the $ XXXX/month fee because it would create a financial hardship. I am XXXX from an accident I had XX/XX/2008 and have not worked full time since then - which is why I have not been able to settle this debt in the first place. After much back and forth, I agreed to enter the program and was told I could make 2 monthly payments to split the dues in half. I wanted to start immediately but required something in writing from them that outlined the terms of the rehabilitation program, the amount I would pay every month, and the total amount I owed. I was told no by every representative I spoke with. I finally talked to a supervisor who stated he would send me the paperwork via mail but I never got anything. I then asked him to email it to me ... still nothing. I 've emailed the supervisor at the address he provided to ask for this paperwork, and have called continuously only to be told it would be sent but as of this writing I have received nothing from them. I emailed the Ombudsman from Dept. of Education and weeks later she did call me but I was at work. I called her back and on her voicemail gave specific times when I could be reached but she never returned that call. It 's been over 5 months and I am at a loss - I want to start paying this debt back and repair my credit. Any help of advice you can provide would be much appreciated. Thank you

CBE Group , Inc., a national debt collector, in attempting to collect on a debt that has been processed and accepted by XXXX, an insurance company. The alleged debt arises from XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$4000.00} for four devices and on months service with late fees ( two phones for {$680.00} each, two tablets for {$760.00} each and one hotspot device for {$85.00} ). The telephone numbers and corresponding insurance claim numbers associated with each device are XXXX claim number XXXX for an XXXX, XXXX claim number XXXX for an XXXX, XXXX claim number XXXX for an XXXX, XXXX claim number XXXX for an XXXX, and XXXX for the service on the hot spot device which I own. I tried to pay the {$85.00} for the one month of service with late fee, but I was told by XXXX that the account ( account number XXXX ) had been forwarded to CBE Group , Inc. on XXXX XXXX, 2017. I then informed XXXX XXXX that they are attempting to collect twice and are double dipping while committing at least two criminal acts of wire fraud and insurance fraud as well as violating State and Federal debt collation regulations and laws. I have been forced to elect not to have my devices replaced as I am currently homeless and to not have a physical address to mail replacements to. While I understand the norm is to mail out replacements, that is not the case in this instance. Therefore, no money is due by me for the devices, all of which were in use at the time of loss. XXXX XXXX has confirmed the debt associated with my account was sold for {$4000.00} to CBE Group , Inc., the debt collector trying to solicit payment on a debt that, except for the {$85.00}, has already been, or should have been, satisfied. In resolution of the double dipping attempt by CBE Group , Inc. I would like full forgiveness of the debt by both CBE Group , Inc. and XXXX along with updated credit reporting data provided to all credit reporting agencies and XXXX XXXX. I would also like this CFPB complaint to be sent to the appropriate State and federal regulatory agencies for a thorough and complete investigation to determine if this practice and type of behavior by the companies involved is the norm as a matter of ordinary business practices.

Because we could n't come to terms, I advised a XXXX costumer service agent that I planned on cancelling my service with them to go with a different carrier since I was within my 15 days to do so with no penalty, then I disconnected our call. The agent went to the lengths to call me back to offer me a " loyalty plan '' to keep me with them, that I later ( now too late ) found out did n't exists. Ironically I tried to call XXXX numerous times in the following months to get them to honor what I was offered or terminate my contract with no penalty, as I planned on doing before being tricked into keeping it past the 15 day period. Ironically, I could n't get a call back from XXXX when I wanted to, but the agent could call me and sell me lies after I hung up on her. After about the XXXX call in I talked to a rep who offered me a new plan, {$50.00} more expensive ( {$120.00} instead of {$70.00} ) than the plan I THOUGHT I agree to, but I was tired of the run around so I agreed. After that, I had to call back again because the rep who offered me the {$120.00} plan did n't switch it over right. By the time I got my next bill it was {$190.00}. SO AGAIN I called, XXXX final time, to tell them I was done and to cancel my contract as I have been requesting. My intention was to go to get bought out of contract by XXXX of the other carriers but the bill had to be current and I refused to be pay XXXX another dollar after over 6 years of being with them and being treated so poorly. It took me some time to figure out a new phone situation, but I ended up doing so. Next thing I knew I got a {$690.00} bill from XXXX and emails from a debt collector on their behalf. I submitted a XXXX complaint and even that turned into a night mare of unanswered VMs and multiple contacts. I was told multiple things by multiple reps. They both made me offers contradicting each other 's and still based off of the wrong information, and when I asked for clarification and then a supervisor, I was denied both. I was tricked into keeping this contract when I made it clear I wanted out, and was within the time frame to do so without penalty. This the is the worst experience I ever had with a service provider, ever.

I initiated a call to The CBE group on XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke with a supervisor named XXXX. I was inquiring about paying a collection account in the amount of {$210.00} that we had just learned about from XXXX. We learned of this account from a mortgage company that we are working with to purchase a home. I explained to XXXX that I was willing to pay the account off if it would be deleted from our credit report. I was very clear with her that our mortgage company said that our loan would not go through underwriting unless this collection account was deleted. The mortgage company said that the loan could not go through if the account just showed paid. I asked XXXX on at least 3 separate occasions during this call if she could assure me that it would be deleted if we paid the account. She said that it would be deleted. I paid the account, she gave me a confirmation number and confirmed my email address so she could send a receipt. After waiting for the receipt to show up and it never did, I called The CBE Group back on XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke to a man named XXXX XXXX. I explained the situation to him and told him that I had never received a receipt and that our mortgage company was also requesting a letter of deletion so they could process our loan. He informed me that they did not provide letters of deletion and that the only thing that they could do was update the account on the credit report to show as paid. I explained to him again that the mortgage could not go through underwriting if the account just showed paid, it had to be deleted. He said that they never deleted only updated accounts. I told him that XXXX had promised me that if I paid with a credit card by phone on the day that I called in, that it would be deleted but it might take up to 30 days to show up. He agreed to listen to the phone conversation because all calls are recorded. After listening to the phone conversation he said that he thought that the process was not explained to me correctly and offered to refund the payment that I had made. I told him that I did not want the money back that I just wanted the account deleted so we could buy our home. He said there was nothing he could do.

Every 2-3 weeks I receive a letter in the mail from a different collection agency. They are attempting to collect monies I don't have for medical debt that I did a settlement for with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am not sure how these agencies are even obtaining information settled. So instead of me writing a letter to the agencies asking if they've obtained this information illegally or purchased the medical information, I am also going to begin reporting them. The newest agency is CBE Group , Inc XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXXXXXX and the agency just a few weeks prior is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX SC XXXX. Let me begin by stating, Yes, I had over {$XXXX} in medical bills because I did not have medical insurance coverage. It took me a year and a half to do so but I was able to get a 2nd job in the warehouse and paid off {$14000.00} of the medical debt I created. Of which a couple of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX bills were paid off. When I no longer worked at the warehouse due to the multiple surgeries on my left eye, I was paying little but what I could pay on my remaining medical bills. Then my full time job was cut down from XXXX hours a week to XXXX hours a week and then Covid comes which has made it challenging to find part time or another full time job. I had about {XXXX} in savings. So I reached out to XXXX XXXX, requested to do a settlement on both remaining balances that were roughly {XXXX} each and sent them 2 separate checks for settlement for {XXXX}. And every 2-3 weeks I receive a collection letter from a different agency in the mail for XXXX XXXX. I have not pulled my credit report since XX/XX/2020, and I hope they have not falsely impacted my credit report. These debts are settled. Now while I'm being transparent here, know that absolutely I did not want to do a settlement. I'd prefer to keep my name reputable and my word bond. However, I just did not have the means to pay them. May you advise how can agencies obtain settled debt information? Is this legal? The amount on this CBE Group letter is {XXXX} and service date XXXX and the amount on the XXXX letter is {$770.00} and XXXX service date.

On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX ( AZ Time ) I received a call from " XXXX '' at The CBE Group , Inc. She told me that I owed them {$1800.00} and it has been placed in collections. XXXX informed me that this debt was delinquent XX/XX/XXXX and that they received the account in XXXX XXXX said this was a debt that was owed to XXXX for medical expenses. I explained that I have had XXXX a number of years and never once was contacted about this debt. I asked when the debt incurred and she was unable to give me information. I asked them to provide proof of debt and they said they did not have any in their possession. I informed XXXX that I have a XXXX XXXX XXXX and this debt did not show up on my records, ever and it would have shown if it was valid. XXXX said that my wages would be garnished if I did not make arrangements for this debt to be paid. They are not the holders of the debt and are a 3rd party attempting to collect on behalf of someone else ( they did not know who the debt originated from ). No correspondence was ever sent to me in regards to owing money to anyone and all my XXXX accounts show that there is a {$0.00} balance. XXXX then stated that when it comes time for my re-investigation for my XXXX that it would cause issues and I might not clear the background. This is harassing behavior and I have asked they not contact me further. They are not attempting to collect an actual debt and hold no proof of money owed and denied being able to provide me with more information than the amount owed and the address they have on file for me. They have no bearing on collection of this supposive debt and are attempting to collect money that is not owed. I then spoke with Supervisor XXXX, and he said that since I am a XXXX XXXX it would cause issues for me, but once again could not provide me with any information about the money owed, when it occurred, the company its associated with, or more than the amount owed. The CBE Group, Inc.has had numerous lawsuits filed against them for this type of behavior and you would think they would learn it's unacceptable to instill fear into someone based on their employment.

I was called by these numbers : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. They claimed to be the C.B.E. group and were very convincing. I believed they were collecting a debt I obtained from an unpaid student loan because the amount they claimed was very close to what I believed I owed. I gave them XXXX $ on my debit card on the XXXX/XXXX/16 which was pending until the XXXX of the same month. They told me if I was n't able to pay by the XXXX that the account would be sent to another collection agency. ( They have called multiple times before but I was unable to pay at an earlier time ) Today, I attempted to call the C.B.E. group that I found online to pay the rest of the owed debt. They told me they could n't find my information or account anywhere. They referred me to the XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I called them and asked about my account. They also could n't find anything in their database and even checked their archival dept. which showed nothing with my name. They referred me to another branch which I called at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX talked to me the longest and searched for my info and also could not find anything. A few hours later, I get a call from the original people who were claiming to be the C.B.E. Group again and they said they wanted the rest of the owed money from the account. I believed them for some reason and paid them the XXXX that they claimed I owed them. They seemed very professional but after I paid they said they do not send receipts of their transactions and just left me with a confirmation number : XXXX. I asked where I could find the receipt or look up the confirmation number. The lady said she was n't sure and could not give me a clear answer on how to find the information other than calling back or looking in my bank statement. This is what the bank statements say : XXXX/XXXX/2016 POS PURCHASE Non-PIN / TREASURY XXXX XXXX XXXX IA {$300.00} Pending XXXX CBE XXXX XXXX XXXX / XXXX Date/Time : XXXX/XXXX/2016 XXXX {$390.00} I do believe these charges are fraudulent considering I can not get any information about my personal debt from the legitimate companies.

( The options previously listed really didn't capture my experience ) I've been a long-time XXXX XXXX customer. I've had at one point 7-8 different lines from a family plan and have paid on average {$6000.00} per year on our cell/device bills alone. We've slowly been taking lines off of XXXX because the customer service and care has vastly deteriorated. In early XXXX, I decided to switch my father from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX. I kept my line with XXXX in the meantime. My father 's final bill was due in early XXXX and less than 23 days later, XXXX had already sent my father 's final bill to collections ( CBE Group ) which apparently is XXXX 's internal debt collection service. I didn't receive any phone calls, e-mails, anything reminding me that we were past due. The bill was not even 30 days past due and they had already sent it to collections. Mind you, when I did receive a letter, it was around XX/XX/XXXX ( approximately ) and the phone calls began a few days later. This is nearly a full week + after the lockdown from the Coronavirus had already been ordered here in the XXXX XXXX ( CA ). I don't even know if I'll be able to make my next mortgage payment or property tax bill and XXXX has the audacity to send my bill to collections at a month past due? I've reached out to XXXX customer support online and they didn't bother to do anything. I spoke to someone on their management team who said they would get back to me with some logical explanation. They did acknowledge that being sent to collections not even 30 days past due is not normal. I'm sure I'm not the only person who is in this situation. A lot of people are struggling and their choice to send me to collections after years and years of giving them my business is hurtful and adds undue stress. I have since disconnected my line and transferred my phone number out. I refuse to continue to give them my business. CFPB and other consumers should know that in this day where lendors and creditors are issuing payment deferrals and mortgage forbearance, XXXX won't hesitate to send your bill to collections.

Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a complaint regarding a debt collection activity that I believe is in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692 et seq. I received an itemized list of alleged charges from CBE Group, which claims I owe them money. However, this does not meet the Federal Trade Commission 's guidelines for proper debt validation under the FDCPA. I dispute the validity of this debt and demand strict proof and verification of the same, in accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ). I have requested debt validation in writing, and the collection agency should have ceased its collection efforts immediately upon receiving my request. Despite this, the collection agency proceeded to obtain a default judgment against me on the debt collection claim without first providing verification of the debt, in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ). I am aware that the collection agency is reporting this collection on my credit report, which constitutes a collection activity. This is in violation of the FDCPA, and I am entitled to collect damages of up to {$1000.00}, plus actual damages and attorney 's fees, if I file a claim in small claims court. These collections on my credit report are causing me severe problems and are preventing me from obtaining a home loan, with the potential for damages to reach into the thousands of dollars. Furthermore, I believe that the reporting of this invalidated information to major credit bureaus may also constitute defamation of character. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) does not allow for the inaccurate reporting of information on my credit report. If the collection agency does not immediately remove this account from my credit report, it is subject to another {$1000.00} fine, plus punitive damages. Your company may also be in violation of the FCRA if it does not comply with this request. I look forward to hearing from you within 15 days regarding this matter. If I do not receive a response, I intend to pursue legal action. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely,

I got a letter from CBE Group roughly 6 months ago, stating I owed money to the IRS. That is another issue in itself that has been in remediation. I responded to the CBE Group with a debt verification letter, seeking more information, including proof that they were the authority in collecting the supposed debt. I received a letter back, reiterating the amount I supposedly owed ( again, I had already been in talks with the IRS as well ). I wrote back to CBE Group stating that since they could not verify or validate the debt, as was requested, then I would not be paying. That last communication was in XX/XX/2021. Yesterday- XX/XX/2021- I got another letter with the supposed amount owed. The IRS is listed as a " creditor '' on this letter. I wrote a response letter, again asking for validation/verification of debt, and stated that I would be filing a complaint against them with the CFPB. CBE Group failed to previously validate this debt, and are again trying to collect. This time, the amount is roughly double the original amount due to " interest '' and " penalty ''. Considering they never verified the original debt, I do not understand how it has almost doubled. Some things I added to the response to this most recent letter : - The verified amount owed upon your first contact with me - The age of the debt upon your first contact with me - A copy of the agreement with your client that grants you- the CBE Group- the authority to collect this supposed debt - A copy of any signed agreement that I have made with the collector, or other verifiable proof that I have a contractual obligation to pay this supposed debt - A statement that the debt is assumed valid based on my initial written response You are also in violation of interest installments and penalties. Having failed to previously validate the debt, you can not continue to charge interest or penalties. Please also correct the total amount of debt to the time you made first contact with me, and also provide the total amount on the debt that I first requested validation of this supposed debt.

I sold a huge bundle of WII products ( gaming console, controllers, accessories, games, etc ) on XXXX for {$300.00}. XXXX presented the shipping costs of around {$45.00} which I thought was fair, so I went ahead and authorized the transaction. Turns out I couldn't fit everything into one large box, so I had to ship a second box and pay out of pocket for that expense ( around another {$50.00} ). So my {$300.00} sell price is already netting out at {$200.00}. A few months later I received notification from XXXX stating that my account is suspended because I have an outstanding debt of {$90.00}. They provided no indication of what this dollar amount is for, nor did they provide me any way to contact them to find out. I then searched the web for contact information for XXXX. Turns out they have NO customer support, literally XXXX. So I didn't know what to do. A few months later I received a call from a creditor trying to collect the payment, I asked them what is was for and all they could say was " processing fees ''. Nowhere in XXXX 's literature did they state that I would owe them {$90.00} for a {$300.00} product sale. To the contrary, I their service fees are straight % off of the sale price, anywhere from 5 % - 13 % depending on the product being sold. 13 % of {$300.00} is {$39.00} which does not equal {$90.00}, plus I remember having them net that out of what they paid me originally. If XXXX did make it clear that they would be taking another {$90.00} from my proceeds, I of course never would have taken the tremendous amount of personal effort it took to package and ship the gaming system and all of its components in the first place. Because XXXX froze my account, I can't even look on the app to see if there is some sort of explanation of why they think I owe them {$90.00}. If XXXX refuses to communicate with me in anyway other than to send a creditor after me to collect $ for an unknown reason, then this is effectively fraud. Please make the creditors cease and desist and protect my credit rating from being impacted by this nonsense.

I owed money to XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX sent the past due account to CBE Group for collection. I settled the XXXX XXXX XXXX debt with CBE Group on XXXX XXXX, 2015 for {$150.00} and I have a receipt to that effect. At the time I made the payment CBE Group promised me that they would promptly clear the debt with the credit bureaus, but they did not. On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I was buying a car, and I was told by the manager at the automobile dealership that my credit report showed I have an unpaid debt to XXXX XXXX XXXX. The outstanding debt on my credit report is the debt I settled with CBE Group in XXXX 2015. The following day, XXXX XXXX, 2015, I telephoned CBE Group and asked them to promptly resolve the reporting issue with the credit bureaus and to provide me with a letter after they had done so. CBE Group said that they would " take care of it. " I asked how long it would take before I received the letter and I was told I would receive it within two weeks time. Today, XXXX XXXX, 2015, more than three weeks later, I still have not received the letter and so I again called CBE Group and again I was told that they would " take care of it. " When I pressed the issue why they had n't taken care of it in XXXX, or within the last three weeks, I was then told that the letter has already now been sent via email. When I asked why I have n't received the email their answer was that I would be receiving it in 24-48 hours, but we all know email is sent and received in an instant, and I do not accept CBE Group 's answer that the letter was already sent but I wo n't be receiving it for another 24-48 hours. It is an insult to my intelligence. I no longer trust CBE Group because they did not do the necessary reporting to the credit bureaus in XXXX, nor did they do it within the last three weeks, and I do not believe they will ever do it without government oversight. I feel like CBE Group stole my money because they did not do what they are obligated to do, which is report that a debt has been paid when it has been paid.

I received a credit alert from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that CBE made a change to my credit report on or about XX/XX/XXXX. The debt in a previous complaint to CBE Group by Consumer was indicated to be a XXXX XXXX account. I do not owe XXXX XXXX any further payments and do not know this account was sent to collections, however XXXX alerted the consumer that in order for this to be applied to my credit report someone had to use my social security number. Attached is the retrievable payment ( s ) that are verifiable through the consumer bank statement. The payment history is not a full disclosure of payments made over the life of the account but is verification that the account was paid and perhaps overpaid as the current total charges on the closing bill was {$61.00} and I paid {$83.00} on XX/XX/XXXX and another {$83.00} on XX/XX/XXXX for a total of XXXX. The payment verifiable as being made prior to that was {$300.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. This account is one that may have been compromised due to a housing matter already reported to the CFPB occurring on or before XX/XX/XXXX. Attached as follow are : -Account Overview ( Acct Number XXXX ) indicating the Total Amount Due for XX/XX/XXXX was {$400.00}. Last Payment Received on XX/XX/XXXX was {$83.00}. Current Charges Billed on XX/XX/XXXX was {$0.00}. -XXXX, XXXX bank statement indicating XXXX was paid {$450.00} on XX/XX/XXXX and {$180.00} on XX/XX/XXXX -A XXXX bank statement indicating the XXXX Power account was paid on XXXX and Charged XXXX XXXX, XXXX in the amount of {$300.00}. -A XXXX bank statement indicating XXXX Power account was paid on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$83.00} and on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$83.00} with a deposit of {$160.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. -A XXXX bank statement indicating there was an ATM withdrawal in the amount of {$80.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX and that withdrawal was placed in the XXXX XXXX bank account. Again, this account was not believed to be behind but likely overpaid. I will forward documents to the source of this alert as well.

Greetings On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I purchased a gold coin from the XXXX XXXX online using my XXXX credit card. A package was delivered on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I have a copy of the delivery verification from XXXX. However, when it was delivered the person ( my spouse ) who received the package claims that she did not sign for the package. She did receive the package though. The document that I have regarding the package does have a signature for the package but my spouse claims it is not her signature. The package remained unopened until I could set up an account with XXXX, a coin grading company. As soon as the XXXX account was established, I forwarded the package received from XXXX still unopened to them in Florida. Soon afterward I was contacted by a XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX ( XXXX ) informing me that the package I sent him was empty, there was no gold coin in the package sent from the XXXX XXXX. He verified this with photos and email contact. I was completely dumbfounded at this point. I contacted XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX to dispute the charge and apparently it was resolved quickly in XX/XX/XXXX in my favor though I don't remember receiving any confirmation of this. Within the past month now, XX/XX/XXXX, I have received notification from CBE Group regarding this episode claiming that I owe them {$3200.00}. as a debt to be paid. {$2400.00} for the coin and {$740.00} for administrative costs. I have contacted XXXX again regarding this manner over the past week and they claim that the dispute was resolved in XX/XX/XXXX in my favor. They also claim today that the XXXX XXXX admits fault regarding the transaction. They are sending me copies of the details ( I hope ) regarding the matter. It will take a few days to receive them. I have the option to dispute this transaction with CBE Group until XX/XX/XXXX. I do plan to do that but hope you can help guide me with options. Contacting anyone directly involves at least one hour of my time with any party involved; XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, CBE Group, or XXXX.

I have been receiving several phone calls over the last two weeks, or so, by an agency that refuses to identify themselves or the purpose of the phone call. I 've answered or returned the phone call on every occasion that they have attempted to contacted me. Today marks roughly the 4th or 5th time they have tried to make contact with me. Each time the conversation starts by giving a disclosure that the phone call may be recorded. They ask for me by name and once I confirm that it is in fact who they are speaking with, they proceed into verifying my personal identifiable information. At this point, I always ask who I am speaking with, what the matter is regarding and what the reason for the phone call is. Every time I ask these questions, they respond that it 's concerning a personal matter and that they can only talk to me once they have done their identification process. I have told them every single time they call that I would be happy to confirm my identity if they can answer simple questions about the purpose of the phone call. The first few times, they attempted to verify an address that is very dated. The second time they attempted to verify information with my date of birth. The last few times they have attempted to verify me with the last four numbers of my social security number. In any case, they are pushy, persistent and are progressively more rude with each phone call. The last conversation that took place today ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ) I told them to stop calling me because I had no business with them if they ca n't tell me who they are. The representative finally identified herself as being part of the CBE Group. I did a quick XXXX search while on the phone and I told them that I had no business with them unless they can identify the reason why they are contacting me. Representative was rude and said that she was trying to resolve a personal matter that relates to me. Vague as it is, I refuse to confirm my identity with someone that ca n't even identify what they are calling about.

The CBE group is showing a total of 26 accounts showing on my credit report and there are a total of 9 that are showing {$50.00} and they appear to be duplicates and they continue to create new accounts with the same balance and submit each of them monthly which is hitting my credit score and costing my hundreds of dollars in extra premiums and interest. There are 6 others that appear to be duplicates as well that they are doing the same thing to my account. The company has contacted me and I asked them to send me information on the debt that is owed and that I was not aware of the debts that they were trying to collect on. I have never received anything from them in regards to these accounts. I was called from this horrible company and they were rude on the phone telling me that I owed this debt and this will be pursued by a garnishment or possible legal action, which is a violation of the fair debt collection act. I asked them to stop calling me and they proceeded to continue to call me, and my husband while he is at work, when he asked them who it was they told him that they were collecting a debt for me without any verification that this was my husband or not. He asked them to stop calling him and they called him a least 3 times a day for the next week until he threatened to get an attorney for harassment. They then called my parents and my in laws and told them that I was in trouble and they needed to get a hold me as soon as they could, and asked if there was another number they can call me on, they said no and asked them to stop calling them as well, which was not followed at all. This company has continued call when asked not too, given information about what they are calling for without verification or permission, and has threatened legal action such as a garnishment against me. I want this to stop. I don't want to hear from the CBE group again and I want them to pull the collections from my credit reports for falsely reporting something that they have never proven that I owed.

I recieved two unwanted and annoying phone calls. I informed CBE group that the information on which they were basing the collection was inaccurate and that there was no current debt. I received letters from threatening my credit rating and other adverse actions. I have sent them the following letter.CBE Group XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX Debts Identification NumbersXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Dear Sirs : Recently, I received harassing phone calls and letters trying to collect the above debt. It appears you failed to do due diligence and are harassing me about a debt which is no longer valid and has not been for many years. The original billing and request for over payment was for services to Medicare patients through my corporation XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The request for overpayment was part of a Medicare audit associated with an investigation by the Office of Inspector General over 15 years ago. The case involves issues of federal and state jurisdiction which are still being litigated. The medical necessity and billing issues you refer to were appealed. You are without grounds in your request for repayment. The statute of limitations on Medicare overpayments was three years and extended under Obama to five years. It is more than a decade since the statute of limitations ran out. Additionally the legally appropriate resolution under Medicare law is that such dates were repaid from future billing. My company is long out of business and I have not billed Medicare in more than a decade. There is no legitimate debt that gives you the right to call me and send me dunning letters. You are operating outside the framework of Medicare law and consumer protection laws by pursuing me for this debt. I am submitting a complaint to the XXXX XXXX XXXX so that you and other collection agencies are made aware of the rule of law and protection of consumers from your predatory practices. Please cease and desist all further collection efforts Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX.

I am aware that according to article XXXX, the assignment of a defaulted note is illegal. Both the assignee and the assigned are both liable for violations under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( 12 ). I am not validating any alleged debt with The CBE Group ) and my failure to dispute the validity of these alleged debts shall not be construed as an admission of liability. As of XXXX XX/XX/2023, I have not received any documentary evidence such as a trilateral contract giving The CBE Group any right to collect on this alleged debt. I have never received any documentation requesting validation from The CBE Group before they committed multiple violations under the FCRA & the FDCPA by furnishing this alleged debt to my consumer report including but not limited to 15 USC 1692 ( d ) ( 4 ) which the FTC defines as debt parking. If The CBE Group can not provide me with proof such as a tracking number that they attempted to lawfully validate this alleged debt with me, the consumer, prior to furnishing this on my consumer report, this has been a fraudulently furnished account with forethought and malice as an attempt to bring harm to me and my financial reputation. I am legally refusing to pay this alleged debt pursuant to 15 USC 1692 ( c ) ( c ). I am demanding a cease and desist of all illegal activities, any communication and collection activities of this and any alleged debt until The CBE Group can provide me with sufficient documentary evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay them. If this documentary evidence can not be produced and The CBE Group continues its collection efforts, I will file for litigation for actual damages caused and The CBE Group will be held criminally liable for aggravated identity theft pursuant to 18 USC 1028a, extortion, theft by deception, securities fraud and mail fraud.

I attempted to pay off my collections of {$280.00} I mailed a money order with the exact amount of {$200.00} for one specific account # XXXX on XX/XX/18 I called several times to try and have a receipt emailed to me and received the run around with 5 different collection operators telling me they sent it already, check my spam, check my trash, this went on for like 2weeks. never received it to this day asked to speak with supervisor and was given several different male operators that claimed to be supervisors claiming to have emailed too many times and it must be my computer they would just send a paper receipt. waited another week and received several letters that did not show payment nor the exact account I sent my money order for. so around the beginning of XX/XX/XXXX I attempted to call them back and was today this time the money was spread all over the other accounts which are copays at this point I just broke down cying saying how could that be my money order had a specific account # on it and the supervisor told me it was too bad I just should of payed with a credit card and I went on to explain do not own one I need to speak to another supervisor. I was given another female who said she was the supervisor and was so sorry this happened and she would fix the problem and that the good thing was the money could be moved back to the account I sent it for and she would so. I explained to her I had an underwriter waiting for the receipt by the end of the week and could not believe this was happening for such a small amount. as I was talking to her she said she fixed and mailed it out now I am still waiting on the same receipt still calling and speaking to the same 5 collection operators and getting the same run around and the female supervisor that promised me she fixed it and mailed the receipt will not speak to me and our underwriters are atill waiting and were at the end of XX/XX/2018 and still waiting and still like a fool praying for an email.

Recently, I moved from XXXX XXXX, CA to XXXX, CA, to follow my Wife for her XXXX program, and as such had to cancel my XXXX internet service. This was early XXXX of of last year. They said I was due to be charged one final time on XX/XX/XXXX, through XXXX. I was charged successfully. It was my understanding my account was settled. However, a few months later I suddenly realized that there was a collection for {$120.00} on my credit report. After digging, I realized this was due to unreturned equipment. I had not been given any email notification, text notification, nor letter of any kind. No communication at all to inform me of my balance being due. I would have gladly paid immediately, or returned the equipment, if I had been reached out to. My address had changed ( as I had informed XXXX several times due to me moving out of their service area ). XXXX knew this, and yet did not make any good faith attempts to reach out to me despite knowing that the address starting with XXXX was no longer my mailing address. I even had USPS mail forwarding setup, and never received a letter from them. There was no way for me to resolve this when I gladly would have, had I known about it. They moved straight to reporting a debt on my credit. I have since returned the equipment successfully to them ( documents attached below ), after talking with a XXXX agent over the phone and confirming I still could, however, there is now still a {$120.00} blemish on my report, despite my equipment being returned. I am looking to buy my first home and this is really making me struggle to qualify, as it dropped my credit score from XXXX down to XXXX. Please, if anyone is reading this, I need help. I want to make things right with XXXX, but I feel cheated, as I was never even offered a chance to settle things correctly, nor given notice or opportunity to pay them what they were due, in lieu of returning the internet equipment.

On XX/XX/XXXX I was notified by a collection agency, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, in writing, that I owe XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX due to them closing my account. Once I received the notification in the mail on XX/XX/XXXX, I called to make arrangements to pay the debt. I spoke with XXXX XXXX and there was an agreement regarding a settlement amount of {$580.00}. There were 3 payments made and posted to my account in the amount of {$190.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from XXXX advising the debt had been resolved for less than the full balance. On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email advising I stilled owed XXXX XXXX XXXX another {$240.00} from another collection agency, The CBE Group. The next day, I wrote to The CBE Group and disputed the validity of the debt. I also called The CBE Group on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to XXXX and informed him I did not owe the debt any longer because it was settled with XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX began to read the mini - miranda to me on a settled account which violated debt collection practices. After he read the mini - miranda, I requested to speak to a supervisor. I then spoke to XXXX and explained the debt was settled. She again read the mini - miranda and stated XXXX XXXX XXXX still shows the debt is still owed and I will need to contact XXXX XXXX because it was there responsibility to inform XXXX XXXX XXXX of the settlement. I then called XXXX XXXX on the same day and spoke to XXXX who stated the account was reported to XXXX XXXX XXXX as settled and she will be sending the report to XXXX XXXX XXXX again about the status of the account. On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX I received letters in the mail from The CBE Group again stating I still owe! I am so frustrated with this process. I did my part by making my payments on time to settle the debt and I am still being harassed by XXXX XXXX XXXX and The CBE Group to pay the remaining balance in full.

On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a complaint with CBE Group on debt collection and written notification about debt since I did not receive by mail. I got the response on XX/XX/XXXX from the company from XXXX XXXX a compliance officer. She states the client will forward debt validation. From what I hope by mail, not email. because she states CBE Group sent notice of collection account on XX/XX/XXXX meaning final notice before being sent to credit bureaus. CBE Group sent to an email address which is that she supposedly confirms by " matching ''. I do not see any attachments from my complaint # XXXX in which I provided documents ... why isn't this shown for me to inspect. XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX the accounts was opened in the credit bureaus. Then they send to my email address on XX/XX/XXXX for notice. Which is wrong and falsification. I do ask since you sent this " notice '' how come you couldn't send a BILL THROUGH EMAIL. Explain that. So now the client is forwarding my debt validation soon from which source email or mail it is not clear. So now I am filing a complaint on false statements. Again I do not believe anything was sent to my email, if it was this company they are not in my contacts, first I wouldn't know who they were to begin with, with no bill or account number, etc. It was probably sent to junk, If it got into my inbox I still would not know who these people were unless I got a bill. So since this is in credit bureaus I apparently have no resolve, in which I offered, but you want me to discuss the matter, to what record me. You all ready have made false statements. Please note XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX email was sent : by client on XXXX XXXX. Not in XX/XX/XXXX. The documents I enclosed are when this account went into credit bureaus XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX a notice of collections was supposedly sent to email, a notice means before being sent to credit bureaus. How can this be?

On XX/XX/XXXX, I ordered a cell phone from XXXX XXXX. XXXX offered me a 14 day window to return the phone with no cost. Prior to the 14 day window, I returned the phone without ever activating it. The return was processed and I received a refund on my credit card. I am an XXXX XXXX XXXX customer and do not have any other accounts with XXXX. In or around XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed that I was not receiving text messages from XXXX XXXX users. I contacted XXXX and they informed me that because of an error in their system, even though my phone was returned, they had assigned my phone number and account to a XXXX phone and my texts were getting lost in the system. I was told the issue was resolved. In late XX/XX/XXXX/early XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notice from CBE group, a debt collector, dated XX/XX/XXXX, seeking to collect {$180.00} in charges associated with the XXXX account that I never used. After several calls with XXXX and CBE, the last on XX/XX/XXXX, in which I sought to resolve the issue and asked that CBE purge my personal information from their database since I never owed the debt, I was told that the issue was resolved and that CBE was investigating whether they could remove my sensitive information. I have not yet followed up with CBE but when I last spoke with them they suggested that they would not remove my information which seems like a violation of the FDCPA. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX, acknowledging that my debt is {$0.00}, but threatening to report the debt to all major consumer credit bureaus as a " write-off '' and stating that it could damage my credit. I have spent countless hours on this issue and XXXX and CBE should not be allowed to get away with these threats because XXXX has even acknowledged that I never owed a debt because I never activated the phone and returned it within the allowed window of time.

I received a debt collection letter from the CBE Group Inc, a third party debt collector for XXXX. They said I owe {$210.00} as of XX/XX/XXXX which is entirely false. I switched over to XXXX back in XXXX and left the XXXX account under my name because a family member was still active on my account and as I was told on multiple occasions by a few XXXX customer care agents , all rewards including promotions will be lost on the account if I decide to change the account holder name. They've also switched over to XXXX back in XX/XX/XXXX. This is where the deception begins. XXXX sold the account to CBE Group Inc once my family member left XXXX and switched over to XXXX. I didn't receive notice about a bill until yesterday when I checked my mailbox and seen a letter that was sent from this third party debt collector affiliated with XXXX. I also want to address that XXXX never sent me a final bill, they sold the account soon after and now CBE Group Inc wants to collect a debt from me that is not owed for the amount stated. I know my rights as a consumer and I do not owe this company a single penny. My family member 's phone was unlocked after 60 days and they waited 14 months to switch to a different carrier due to problems with billing and their data being leaked. It's their right to switch carriers if a phone is unlocked but the remaining balance would have to be paid. And I will reiterate, a final bill was never sent to my current mailing address. I also have a witness at XXXX who made the transfer in-person and they assisted my family member to pay all fees upfront including the remaining balance with XXXX because it's not possible to upgrade without settling the remaining balance on the previous device. I will be disputing this debt collection to all three major credit bureaus. They've closed the account as of recent and came up with their own numbers.

I have contacted XXXX SO many times, at least 20, to ask about this and they say my balance is XXXX and there is nothing to do. I just had my debit card hacked, again. Im very careful.

They kept my acct open for months. The account was not mine, anyway. It was set to auto pay and of the account of my mom with XXXX XXXX. Shes been scammed so many times. My guess is this is part of that. I need this to stop. My credit accounts are frozen due to fraud, and my score is important and this is harassment. I only find out about it when it goes to my credit score and my app gives me an alert. I have to XXXX to find out what the company is. Its being passed around and reset multiple times. I already reported this to you and XXXX. But that was different because it was a different collector, who i called and asked for information and they refused or couldnt provide anything. This is not my debt. What can I do to get this vicious cycle to stop? XXXX XXXX, XXXX, trying to find an apartment so temp XXXX and need my score good, I have perfect payment history. I pay my bills on autopay. Please help this get removed from my report AND stop repeating. Ive reported charter to the XXXX, too.

I received a final incorrect invoice from XXXX, dated XX/XX/XXXX after cancelling my service with them and returning all of their equipment on XX/XX/XXXX. Upon receiving the invoice I tried unsuccessfully to get the balance corrected by phone but eventually ( XX/XX/XXXX ) had to go in person to one of their offices with all my paper work, which proved that the service had been terminated and their equipment returned on the dates I had claimed they were. One of their agents reviewed my account and the paperwork I had brought in, decided I was correct and put in for a credit to remove the overcharges. Two days later ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I received an email from XXXX acknowledging that I had received a credit for {$93.00} which would be reflected on my next invoice, leaving a balance due of {$0.00} on my account. When I did not receive a next invoice, I went online and printed out the final invoice which did show the both that the credit was issued, and applied to my account and that the balance due was now {$0.00}. Despite this I was contacted a short time later ( XX/XX/XXXX ) by a debt collector, ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. ) hired by XXXX requesting payment on the original amount. After sending all my paperwork to them they dropped collection efforts. Three months later I received a new collection letter from a new collection agency, CBE Group, dated XX/XX/XXXX for the same {$93.00}, XXXX 's billing error, which they had corrected on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent in all the same paperwork, proving that there was no debt with a letter explaining the situation to CBE, however instead of dropping the matter they have continued sending me collection letters for the original amount the latest one dated XX/XX/XXXX. The debt collector trying to collect the fictitious debt is : THE CBE GROUP , INC . XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA. XXXX

I answered one of CBE Group 's phone calls. I have no idea what debt they are trying to collect but they asked for me by name. When I offered to make a minimal payment of {$25.00} twice monthly they refused to take and said I would need to qualify under their financial needs program. They told me I would need to be asked several questions. The first gentleman I spoke with was very pushy about the questions and insisted that my household should have a savings built up. He told me exactly how much money I should have left over after every paycheck and that the numbers just do n't come up right for me to have no money and not be able to pay more than {$25.00} twice a month. Then he insisted I ask anyone I know to loan me the money. After I put my foot down he got his " manager '' to redo everything he just did. The manager was rude and pushy with me also. He continuously insisted I " find a way to get the money right away and pay it all at once '' and that " the company they were collecting for wanted one lump sum payment ''. I was told to open a new credit card or take out a personal loan to pay the debt. He also kept telling me that there is no way I 'm broke and have no money, that my financial situation just does n't add up. After this, I let the man know that I needed to get off the phone, which I had already been on for 30 minutes, because I have a child that needed to be tended to. I said I would need to discuss this with my husband and his response was " well how much time do you need to talk to him, a day? ". He got a little rude with me about wanting to get off the phone before the debt was settled and said they 'd calling back in 24 hours. In an attempt to answer the call I just said " ok '' and hung up. This was about 3 weeks ago. They 've proceeded to call me everyday since, even taking it as far as calling me on a Sunday.

On XX/XX/2020 I payed a collection account to a collector called CBE Group. I paid {$77.00} and some change to resolve a debt from a XXXX XXXX bill at a previous address. I had a credit reporting disputed and got this collection removed to improve my credit so that we can apply for a mortgage on a new home. I find out a couple of weeks later that a new collection on my credit report by a company XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) is collecting for the same debt for XXXX XXXX. I disputed this again with the credit burea and XXXX. I sent proof of the payment to bot XXXX and XXXX XXXX with no resolve. I sent a second letter and email with proof again around XX/XX/2020. I call XXXX XXXX over 12 different times to resolve this but they only give me a ticket number and say someone will contact me. I never recieved any communications from them. XX/XX/2020 I get a letter in the mail from XXXX saying that they contacted XXXX XXXX about the account and XXXX told them that they checked all of thier sources and that no payment was made on my account but to continue collections on the account. I again called CBE Group to get them to help with the payment communication to XXXX but they told me only that, yes they confirm the payment was received but XXXX pulled the account from them on the same day and they do not know what happened to the payment processing. Told me to send them " CBE Group a letter explaining the circumstances with my proof of payment and then see what happens. I did send a registered letter again with the proof but get no resolve. In my opinion, CBE Group did take my payment but did not pay or communicate it to XXXX. They still have not. I am at a loss as of what to do next. My credit is being destroyed and neither CBE Group or XXXX is cooperating.

I went through XXXX with company info on this issue. As stated, I have asked Charter Communications directly ( as told to so do ) as they reported this account as " verified '' when in fact they have not. For if they had investigated this matter thoroughly, they would have noticed that the address used for this account was not factual and that, as I explained to both sides of this matter, I have NEVER had Charter Communications for any service at all. This issue involves some $ XXXX in services which is extrodinary as I can't see any company allowing a bill this large for so long. In fact, we've had XXXX since moving to the city weve been in for these 26+ years. My ENTIRE family uses and has had XXXX for all our services. The nearly 26+ years we lived at the address we resided, we never had outside service from any company outside of the XXXX XXXX. NOBODY has contacted me directly through email as requested, showing the information noted above, and I expect these individuals to do so as requested via email. They have my email so why not send me a copy of their billing, again, as requested. If this bill is ( was ) mine ... and it is NOT ... if it shows my name/address/city or state, then there should be no legal reason why this matter should continue to drag on and my dispute won't have to go through the courts as is my next move! XXXX XXXX have their issues, but they work with ANY customer they serve and give out the correct information providing your information given can be verified ... NOT CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS as everybody must all be giving out wrong info and if you have a bill/debt with them, they do NOT want you to be able justify their means for reporting very wrong and degrading information that effects everything an individual is attempting to stop.

I have an ongoing issue with XXXX for almost 3 years now. I returned their equipment at my expense on XX/XX/XXXX and it was delivered at XXXX I was told that I would be charged {$350.00} for an early cancellation fee which was untrue as they kept changing their minds and decided to bill me whatever amount they felt like billing and whenever they wanted to. First I'm told {$350.00}, then I'm billed {$480.00} and then they tried to charge my credit card {$650.00} on XXXX-they 're not consistent. To continue, I wasn't credit for the returned equipment AND THEY ADDED {$53.00} A MONTH TO MY BILL FOR PREMIUM CHANNELS THAT I NEVER ORDERED/AUTHORIZED WHICH I WASN'T CREDITED FOR EITHER. I have so many letters, emails, many addresses for XXXX and no one ever replied. I have received calls from collection agencies. I had to start making payments as they were ignoring my requests for review account etc ... and in the end I realize that they truly want to get {$650.00} from me more or less for the following reason : As of XX/XX/XXXX I've paid XXXX {$400.00} and this month I received a letter from XXXX XXXX showing that my balance is {$240.00}, add the XXXX that I've paid and the total is {$650.00} which is ridiculous in so many ways. I know that many folks have filed complaints against XXXX and with good reason-look what they did to me and continue ... I've asked many times via postal mail to review and reduce my bill but they never did-they don't care, they don't have problems sleeping at night nor they have a conscience so why should I allow this to continue when they owe me money? It's always the same ... Last, while I am retired I'm also XXXX and they didn't care about this one bit nor did they care about how their lies added to my daily, XXXX XXXX.

I used to have a XXXX account, and I left XXXX because my bills were always over XXXX a month just for XXXX phone lines. XXXX XXXX, XXXX I went o XXXX and signed up with XXXX. I understood I had a balance due with XXXX and I tried many time to make arrangements with XXXX to continue t pay XXXX a month until this bill is paid off because as of now that is all I could afford. XXXX itself kept not corporating with me, and on XXXX XXXX, I started receiving calls from a XXXX person saying they are a partner with XXXX and want to collect a debt, I explained my situation to them explaining I am not working right now I am recoving from a XXXX and I can XXXX between XXXX and XXXX a moth. they said if I want to return to XXXX I had to pa XXXX a month, I explained to them again, I can not XXXX this so I will not be returning to XXXX. the person I spoke with was XXXX who said she can set up arrangements and on XXXX XXXX, I paid XXXX to the XXXX PARTNERS OF XXXX. today, XXXX, I received a call from a gentleman from XXXX stating I had to make payments of XXXX. I said I had arrangements set up for the XXXX of every month to pa XXXX or XXXX he said well those are no longer good arrangements and I am only going to accept XXXX or more with new arrangements. that is against the law and I am not going to keep being harassed every day 5 times a day by this company. if I continue to stay under stress the next XXXX will kill me my doctor said. and it is very easy now for me to have another XXXX since I just had XXXX. I thought it was against the law for a company to do this to a consumer. I thought as long as a consumer makes payments a company can not do anything to them or put nasty negative things on their credit report. I want this matter handled immediately.

CBE Group has never sent me a letter in the mail for pass due loans. At XXXX point I took out a payday loan back in XX/XX/XXXX and was over charged on interest fees and closed my bank account as they got more then they should by the payday loan company. I reopened my account with a new account number with the same bank. So years later the CBE Group who is a XXXX party maybe trying to collect on the loan which I was over charged on interest and paid back which the loan company wanted more and more. Anyway Number that called was XXXX. Called me after XXXX on my way home from work one night last week on XX/XX/XXXX. I picked up the call and the lady seem rude asking what my name was and my social security number with of course what my home address was. I did n't give them that info. I said to the lady if you call my cell phone and think you have the right person send me a letter in the mail. I basically told her to shove it and send me a letter in the mail if you have anything on me for whatever they wanted. So just today XX/XX/XXXX week later they called my dad 's cell phone stating that his son has a bad check. I get a call from my dad and I 'm like I have no idea what they are talking about. I do n't write checks. All my bills are paid online anyhow.. So next time CBE calls I 'm going to record the conversation and let my police buddy take it from there see if I can use any of there harassment against them in the future!!! I want them to stop calling me and they buy these outstanding loans on the pennies and I 'm sure they would love to clear out my bank account. That 's not going to happen because I 'll go to CBE office in Iowa and do matters in my own hands if I have too one day!!! So please make them stop cfpb and do your thing. Thanks

I am writing today because I believe that either XXXX ( Charter Communications ) or CBE group is trying to extort funds from me. When I cancelled my XXXX service, I went into the XXXX office in XXXX GA and returned all of my equipment. Please refer to attachments in parathesis below. On XX/XX/2023, CBE sent me egregiously inflated bills ( " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' ) allegedly balances I owe to XXXX. However, on XX/XX/2023, XXXX had turned over the balance of my Mobile account to a collection agency, called XXXX XXXX and they sent me a request for payment of {$69.00} ( see attached XXXX XXXX XXXX '' ) and I submitted payment that same day ( see Payment to XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ). Initially back in early XXXX, I submitted a complaint to the XXXX against CBE because I was not sure which amounts they were trying to collect from because I had already submitted proof of payment ( above ) of the {$69.00}. Then CBE group then consulted with XXXX about this {$69.00} and then XXXX escalated their invoices to inflated amounts, not owed. I submitted a payment of {$110.00} ( see attached labeled " XXXX payment '' for proof of payment ) and now XXXX is showing I now owe a balance of XXXX in my XXXX account ( See attached, " how much is due to XXXX .. " ) to verify that I owe a XXXX balance. And the amounts I paid were substantially less than the balances sent to me by CBE group. Additionally, if I owed balances for unreturned equipment, these balances should have been listed in my XXXX account, but they weren't because I had already personally appeared in the XXXX office in XXXX GA to return this equipment. They are LYING and I plan on submitting complaints against XXXX as well as CBE to Fraud complaint with Federal Trade Commission.

I received a collection letter from CBE GROUP , INC dated XX/XX/XXXX stating they are collecting as an agent off XXXX XXXX , XXXX in the amount of {$5500.00}. I was able to answer one of the many calls made by CBE on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to XXXX, who insisted that I verify his information but I told him to send it in the mail. I also told him that after CBE GROUP first call there, should have been something sent in writing. Affiant do not now and have never had any business, written, expressed, alleged or implied, with CBE, XXXX and the joint and several principals, agents or assigns of CBE and XXXX and does not, in any manner agree to contract with, re-age, renew, or revive any alleged contracts or agreements upon which CBE, XXXX and the joint and several principals, agents or assigns of CBE and XXXX may incorrectly claim, allege or presume exists I owe. Affiant 's records show that CBE First Contact occurred XX/XX/XXXX ( " First Contact '' ) by a robodialed, automated telephone call to a telephone number listed in the name of the Trust. Affiant 's records show that since First Contact, CBE, did, in willful violation of the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT ( " FDCPA '' ) and before mailing collection letter within five days of First Contact, call a telephone number listed in the name of the Trust 15 times. Records show that CBE, being without any lawful permissible purpose did, in willful violation of the FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT ( " FCRA '' ) governing permissible purposes, did, before or on XX/XX/XXXX request and obtain from XXXX, XXXX unlawful access in the consumer credit report of the Trust. On XX/XX/XXXX, an affidavit was mailed USPS Certified Mail to CBE GROUP, INC and received but have yet to receive a response.

I received a letter from CBE Group last month ( XX/XX/XXXX ) that said an unpaid XXXX account had been referred to CBE Group for collection and that I owed more than {$450.00}. I do not have an XXXX account. Concerned about fraud, I called XXXX for more information and they confirmed I did not have an account and therefore, said it was impossible for XXXX to have forwarded any information to a collections agency. I then called CBE Group. They began the call with a " confirmation '' in which they read my address aloud for me to confirm even though I did not give personal information on the call -- not even my name. I don't know how the repesentative knew to pull up my address of why they had it on file. I informed a representative that I did not have an XXXX account. She then proceeded to tell me the name/handle associated with the XXXX account, the email address associated with the account and the items purchased on the XXXX account that led to the unpaid balance -- I'd never heard of any of them. The representative said they would include this information in their file and CBE Group would " investigate '' and then reach out to XXXX to confirm that this information was true. She said if XXXX confirmed this information, then CBE Group would send a letter back to me to confirm I no longer owned a debt. This was not the first time I'd received a letter from CBE Group. The first time I received a letter was a few months earlier but my attorney told me it was a scam so I did not respond. However, after that, I received at least one call from the company. Then I received the second letter ( in XX/XX/XXXX ), which said that if I did not respond in 30 days, that the debt collection agency would assume the debt is valid.

I receive a monthly credit score report furnished by XXXX. I noticed that my credit score dropped from XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX ) to XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX ) on my most recent statement. I have no outstanding debt outside of my student loans and all of my bills are paid on time. I obtained my equifax credit report on XX/XX/XXXX and there was nothing outstanding, but there was a collection reported. The company CBE Group had a collection for {$49.00}. The report did not provide anything other than the date assigned ( XX/XX/XXXX ), the date of first delinquency ( XX/XX/XXXX ), date reported ( XX/XX/XXXX ) the last XXXX digits of an account number, and a creditor classification : retail. I have lived at the same address and have had the same phone number for 6 years. I NEVER received any type of communication from CBE. I 've NEVER received any communication of any sort saying my account was going into collections. There were no outstanding accounts on my credit report. I have tried repeatedly to contact CBE Group by phone and through their website ( I ca n't write to them because they did n't include a mailing address on the report and I never received a letter ) and I have n't been able to get to anyone. I try to call the phone number on the website XXXX, I can get through the first prompt and then the second prompt disconnects the call. This is EXTREMELY frustrating. The first thing I need is to know who the creditor is and I ca n't even get that. This mistake is causing a negative impact on my credit and I ca n't even get information on who I did n't pay. Just an aside, when I tried to look up CBE I noticed a number of pending lawsuits for fraudulent reporting. Please tell me what to do.

I was contacted this morning by CBE Group at XXXX local time to collect a debt for XXXX XXXX. I specifically asked XXXX to not call me any further regarding the debt unless we were discussing negotiations regarding its legitimacy. Yet, here we are XXXX with my cell phone ringing to a debt collector. XXXX is attempting to collect almost {$1100.00} for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX devices that were damaged from day one. I made every feasible attempt possible to resolve the issue and have the devices repaired or replaced, XXXX refused to comply ( their excuse is that Franchise locations do n't have to abide by XXXX XXXX XXXX ). The final attempt to resolve the matter resulted in a store manager rudely telling me that my issue was n't their problem and I could leave. So I left, not just the store, but the whole company. Obviously I was n't getting anywhere by talking to them anymore ( and I 'm still not either ). I attempted MULTIPLE times to resolve any outstanding balances with the company, they refuse to negotiate or work with me on the matter and expect me to pay full retail for XXXX broken phones. I offered to come to a fair and reasonable settlement, they wo n't have it. Then this morning ( XXXX ) XXXX tells me that regardless if I would have given the phones back or sold them outright, I would have to pay the same amount of money to them ... but I was wrong in selling the phones outright? I have informed XXXX/CBE Group that as of this moment that they are to not contact me again unless it is with a fair and reasonable settlement offer and I will gladly be taking this matter up with the necessary parties to have this debt not only settled but never posted to my credit under my Right to Redressal.

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a notification from a collection agency, in which they inform me that I must pay them an amount of XXXX from account number XXXX. I am surprised since I never received a bill or notification about this service. We have always paid our bills and we take great care of our credit, I think you have to review your procedures before sending a person to a collection agency, some employee made one or more mistakes and they never sent me a bill or notification. I hope you find a solution to this misunderstanding. I am going to make a complaint and send a copy of this letter to the state and federal consumer defense agencies since I consider it unfair to damage my credit history, when I am a person who takes care of your credit and pays your bills. I went to the clinic and they gave the telephone number XXXX, i called then and they informed me that the address number was incorrect that they had XXXX south instead of XXXX south and that sent me the bills to wrong address, but if they send us bills for my husband XXXX XXXX and my son XXXX XXXX, i paid them XXXX dollars confirmation number XXXX, they said that would not return anything to me, although the error was theirs which i consider fair, and maybe they would take me out of collection.

XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX Then they start calling my husband phone. Before that day the calls was not as frequent, but sometimes XXXX times a day. The lady stated they sent out a letter without a letterhead, and as I explained to her who opens mail without a letterhead. She stated that's so no one would know I was in collections. I stated the XXXX sends out mailing all the time with letterheads that's why I called the Department of Treasury to confirm it was true. That is a bad practice if you are truly collecting on a debt that was 90 days past due from XXXX send proper documentations. Not only are you put in collections, but the amount is {$6000.00} more than I owe. They said the Department of Treasury said they can charge me 30 % of my balance owed. So not only are you charging me {$6000.00} more than my balance, but when I call to discuss this matter with you the company can not tell me where the extra {$500.00} is because there 30 % fee is the {$6.00}, XXXX I make {$600.00} ( {$180.00} more than the original amount ) a month payments to pay.gov not the collection agency but I'm still being charged {$6.00}, XXXX ( collection agency fee ) for XXXX disaster loan. You want to pay your debt owed not 30 % of what you borrowed. You can't get loans because XXXX and Department of Treasury have put it in the credit bureau as collections. So now debt to credit ratio to high to borrow the money to pay them off. I just pray and move on but the constant phone calls have to STOP!, Because I'm making payments monthly.

I closed my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account ( XXXX ) in XX/XX/XXXX on good terms after years of service and paying bills on time. In XX/XX/XXXX after moving out of state, I started receiving calls from debt collectors about an outstanding balance ( ~XXXX $ ). After arguing with the debt collectors I waited on hold for a good while to speak with XXXX. For a while they convinced me my identify was stolen and I began pursing that. After a few hours I realized it was n't that bad and they just never closed my account and continued billing me. I called XXXX and waited on hold again to speak with someone who had the recording of the call where my wife closed the account on good terms. They needed to take time to review this 2 minute call and called me back some time later and said that I had XXXX balance and they would resolve this issue with the debt collectors ( this was XX/XX/XXXX ). Today, ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I received another call from debt collectors about the same debt that I supposedly had resolved with half a days effort. I called XXXX again and now they claim I have a ~XXXX $ balance and will not contact the collection agency regarding the erroneous XXXX $ until I pay this XXXX. I do n't trust that this XXXX $ is real debt as my XX/XX/XXXX call said that the matter was resolved. I do n't not think they should be able to leverage XXXX $ of erroneous debt to collect XXXX , real debt or otherwise. I explained to The CBE Group IncXXXX over the phone several times that this debt was not legitimate and they needed to re-verify the debt with XXXX XXXX. As far as I can tell they are legally required to do so, but have not. They continue pursuing collection of this erroneous debt.

This group has been calling for about a year. The name recently left on voicemail is CBE Group, Ph : XXXX, www.CBEGroup.com. They do not disclose the nature of the alleged debt, nor the alleged creditor name, even when asked. Usually they leave a voicemail, but on a recent call, I took it and asked what it is about, at which time they said they do not disclose that information. They asked for me to confirm my name and address, and asked for my SS #. When I asked again for creditor identifying information the man said ( in a very threatening voice ), " I do n't play games, sir. '' At that point I said that I do n't play games either, and hung up. Their most recent call was from a female. I called the phone # she left, and after a long pause, the electronic voice said they could not put me in touch with a representative, and for me to call back later ( yesterday ). I went online to the site they said I should and filled out contact information to access them and got rerouted several times, so I gave up and today I called the FBI and your office. I believe I do not owe an outstanding debt, but just in case, I called several creditors to see if I missed something. I was told that they did not send my account to any debt collector. At no point, have I received a letter, dun notice or other documentation. Please help me resolve this. I will also call my state Atty General and the do not call registry again. As an aside, after I went to their ( CBE 's ) online site, I immediately got a call from a tech specialist who said I had asked for tech assistance for my computer. When he realized I had not, he told me to be careful about inputting my name and contact information online.

Now a XXXX is sending what looks like a collection attempt via email, does not state who they are collecting for but their digital trail states it is XXXX. A real collection agency following the rules needs to disclose who they are collecting for and this alleged company is not. I have made many calls and emails and now letters to XXXX and they properly stopped billing and cancelled the service XX/XX/XXXX but now they are relentless. I do not hide like the President of XXXX hides and is not reachable via phone nor is any of his staff every available to be reached to resolve issues. XXXX leaves email accounts open as they sell data and it is a profit center to allow the emails to keep on coming in.

When a credit report inquiry was pulled by XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, I did not receive the credit card and was notified that I did not receive this card due to " delinquent obligations ' on my credit report. I have excellent credit. I recently was approved for a car loan, with no issues whatsoever. When I received the letter regarding the rejection of credit I contacted the 3 credit reporting bureaus and pulled a report. I was shocked to find 6 collections from the same company. Upon further investigation, the collection Company : CBE Group, was given this information or information was turned over by a company XXXX XXXX XXXX '. Upon FURTHER investigation, this company exists in UTAH, where I haven't lived since XXXX of XXXX. The 'debt ' date is showing XX/XX/XXXX. I disputed the 6 collection accounts, and 4 were removed recently ( XX/XX/XXXX ), but two still remain : a {$300.00}, amount and a {$620.00}. amount. Both 'account numbers ' are the same. I am 'told ' that this is all I can do since they ( CBE Group ) are holding fast to me owing a debt I have NEVER heard about until this initial credit inquiry in XXXX. I wish to complain, request these to be removed, and also wish to have a note added to my credit report that I am and continue to DISPUTE these accounts as NOT MINE. I was not in Utah in XXXX, and there is not a company here in OREGON ( where I have lived since XX/XX/XXXX ) that operates under that name. I have excellent credit and have worked very hard to maintain that status. I believe this information to be erroneous, and want it removed ( not just 'disputed ' and still listed ... removed please ). Thank you

This is the 2nd complaint that I have submitted on this issue. The 3rd step is going to be me taking CBE group and XXXX to court for harassment regarding a bill that I do not owe. I created case # XXXX, I received a response that CBE would cease collections and has sent in a withdrawal to the XXXX credit bureaus to remove the debt from the report. Now I have received yet another letter from CBE requesting the same funds again in which I will NEVER pay. I have provided all of the documents including a letter from the leasing agency proving that I relocated and left the premises XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX and the CBE group are attempting to collect {$350.00} from me stating that the disconnect date was XX/XX/XXXX. I called CBE group, they advised for me to get proof that I had moved, I got proof from the leasing property management that shows the date I moved ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and sent it in. I was then advised by CBE that XXXX has advised them that they do not accept proof of customers relocating and to keep it as a valid debt. My next action was to come to consumer financial protection bureau for assistance, I created the case mentioned above and got the response of the CBE group has ceased collections. I now have another letter dated XX/XX/XXXX with them attempting to still collect funds that I am not responsible for. I have asked for XXXX to pull the records of my disconnect call and was refused, even with proof that I relocated they are still continuing to harass me. I do not owe this debt and it will not ever be paid by me. You can not collect funds or attempt to scam someone whom has proof of moving.

On XXXX XXXX 2017 at XXXX I received a call on my cell phone from XXXX but was not able to answer the call. Later that day, at XXXX, the number called again. This time I answered the phone with my name and the caller asked for XXXX XXXX. I responded that they had dialed the wrong number. They asked if I knew XXXX XXXX and I responded that I did know her ( she is my sister ). The caller said he was from CBE ( or something like that ) and had an important business matter to discuss with XXXX XXXX and he asked me to give him her number. I refused since I have no idea who this person is. After this phone call, I received several other phone calls from these numbers.

Contrary to Ms XXXX XXXX, the validation that was sent is a total joke and doesn't show ownership nor when the service was started, terminated, that myself actually signed an agreement for said alleged debt. The alleged validation is a screen grab that just shows columns of numbers but shows absolutely 0 of the aforementioned factors asked for above which pursuant to 15 USC 1692g I am within my rights to ask for. Furthermore, to highlight the blatant dishonesty of this organization, I was told on XX/XX/XXXX that a verbal request wouldn't be honored and that I would need to submit a written dispute. I advised them per the FDCPA that, since notice was given I was going to being a validation of debt letter, they had to put all collection activities on hold for a period of 10 days. Now, the validation of debt package was sent via USPS Priority Mail on XX/XX/XXXX and was received by their office and signed for by a XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and they verbally acknowledged receipt of said package pursuant to the conversation I had with them on XX/XX/XXXX. Now, this office is flaunting the language of the FDCPA as well as skirting the Florida Consumer Credit protection act. I would advise that since I have proof that the validation of debt package has been sent and received by this organization that they follow the letter of the federal law and furnish to myself all requested and required documentation that would substantiate the legitimacy of this alleged debt. All collection activity is to not resume until such time as I have proof and my legal counsel can look this over.

Upon checking my Credit Report with XXXX, I discovered that The CBE Group Inc-Former erroneously identified me as owing money to a retailer that I have not used in Texas. I have never lived in Texas or at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX (found on my Credit Report) nor have I ever bought anything from the company you indicated, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I mailed a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX stating I was responsible fur the debt and for substantiating documentation. CBE Group responded to me by mail dated XX/XX/XXXX and identified the debt in regard to an account established with Spectrum formerly XXXX XXXX XXXX by enclosing account statements dated XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX as substantiating evidence of my responsibility for the debt. I do not have any responsibility for the debt CBE Group is trying to collect. I have never lived in Texas, had a phone number or any services provided by XXXX XXXX XXXX as shown on the statements provided . These documents that make you believe that I am the individual owing this debt, in fact only show that my very common name is the same and nothing more that links me to this debt. Information shown on credit report: (XXXX) XXXX Placed for Collection: XX/XX/XXXX Responsibility: Individual Account Account Type: Open Account Loan Type: COLLECTION AGENCY/ATTORNEY Balance: $XXXX Date Updated: XX/XX/XXXX Original Amount: $XXXX Original Creditor: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX (Retail) Past Due: >$XXXX< Pay Status: >In Collection< Remarks: >PLACED FOR COLLECTION< Estimated month and year that this item will be removed: XX/XX/XXXX

I purchased a phone and ipad from XXXX XXXX. Both devices were returned, and the services were never activated. XXXX XXXX automatically started charging for phone and data services, even though the services had not been activated and the phone/XXXX were returned without even being opened. Issues- XXXX XXXX Financial Department is always closed, despite messaging, and they don't answer the phone. I spent hours trying to resolve this issue over chat on two occasions and then by phone on a third try. This process takes hours and was almost impossible to resolve, despite my efforts. - XXXX XXXX automatically created phone accounts and started charging for services that were never activated, simply for purchasing hardware products from their website. When the hardware is returned ( unused ), XXXX leaves the phone/account open and starts billing for phone/data plans without activating the services! They even send notices that the phone number needs to be activated, and they are billing at the same time! They also tried to force me to create an online account ( and accept terms to entrap me ), - just to " work with me '' to resolve the issue. Completely inappropriate! I did not want an account and the devices were returned within the 30-day required period, unused. Eventually, XXXX credited the account that was NEVER ACTIVATED, but not before sending it to a creditor for collection! Outrageous and completely corrupt business practices. They should not be sending bills and charging for services never used or activated and the related hardware products already returned!

XXXX, after numerous explanations that the buyer is a scammer, trying to extort money through XXXX. This full description problem. To begin with, we will describe the fraudulent scheme of the buyer. We sold XXXX expensive XXXX diagnostic devices on XXXX. After the purchase, the buyer reported that supposedly XXXX device did not work well. We asked to provide the serial number of the device and reset the log file. After that, the buyer disappeared for XXXX months. After XXXX months, the buyer opens a dispute in his bank, but, mind you, not on XXXX, and the bank, of course, resolves the dispute in favor of the buyer and demands a refund from XXXX. Now attention! XXXX takes money from our account without returning an expensive device from the buyer. We are shocked by such illegal actions of XXXX and are trying to figure out with XXXX on what basis they withdraw money without returning the device and why XXXX did not forbid the bank to return the money without returning the device. After a few phone calls to XXXX, XXXX explains it as if it's the buyer 's financial institution withdrawing the money and they can't do anything while XXXX itself withdraws the money. We called our bank and explained the whole situation and blocked the withdrawal of money and also filled out the XXXX form. The bank blocked the withdrawal of money and returned it back. Despite this, XXXX continues to try to withdraw money, despite bank blocking, that is, they use extortion methods and threats in terms of closing the account. On what legal basis? XXXX does illegal and illegal activities.

I received a letter from CBE group on XX/XX/2021 claiming to have an unsettled debt, originally from XXXX XXXX. They listed the original creditor as " XXXX XXXX '' and the current creditor as " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ''. I have not received any prior correspondence from any of these entities. No other details about the alleged original transaction are given. No dates, original amount allegedly owed are provided. I have never in my entire life had any service nor completed any transaction with/through XXXX XXXX XXXX This is the first time I've received any notification of this alleged debt in any capacity from a collection agency, nor have I received any notification or bill from XXXX XXXX at any point. The letter explains I must send a letter disputing the charge, but that this will only " provide me the name and address of the original creditor '' but not correct the error. I have mailed a letter refuting the debt to the collector on XX/XX/2021. I filed a letter of complaint with the Office of the Washington State Attorney General. When I called XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2021 and explained I have been fraudulently charged or a victim of identity theft, they verified there was an outstanding debt tied to my social security number, then told me to contact XXXX XXXX XXXX and hung up. In short, XXXX XXXX appears to have allowed someone to open an account under my name because of lax security protocols, made no attempt to contact me directly so I could dispute the charge, then sold the debt to a collector ensuring I have no other avenue of recourse.

As of XX/XX/XXXX, my various credit reports are showing that I owe an amount of {$120.00} to a debt collection company called the CBE Group. Given the amount and time frame, it's fair to assume that the original debtor is XXXX Communications. They're claiming that I have not returned my router and modem equipment. The equipment in question was returned to XXXX in XXXX of XXXX after my first internet contract expired. XXXX is unable to keep proper records of the equipment they receive, so they sent me a collections amount for {$120.00} in XXXX of XXXX claiming that I never returned the equipment. I, then, contacted the debt collection agency and the CFPB to get the issue resolved. Long story short, both XXXX and the debt collection company couldn't adaquetely prove that the equipment wasn't returned, so the debt was removed from my credit report. Fast forward a few months, I was forced to re-sign with XXXX in late summer of XXXX due to limited options at my apartment complex. With this second contract, I decided to use my own equipment to avoid a potential second derogatory mark on my credit. Lo and behold, they've decided to charge me AGAIN for the exact same equipment after my second contract ended in XXXX of XXXX. XXXX will not provide me an explanation as I've tried to dispute the charge directly with them. My theory is that the salesperson, who signed me up for my second contract, must've wrongfully assumed I'd be using the equipment from my first contract ( even though it had already been returned ) and marked my account as such.

The first Collection Agency identified themselves as XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX Illinois, Representative XXXX XXXX, she provided an address of XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Illinois. XXXX XXXX XXXX. That called was initiated on XX/XX/XXXX. I informed her at that time, that I did not have an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX much less owed them anything. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received yet another phone call from CBE Group indicating that they were representing XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in an attempt to collect a debt. They had my former name and asked for my social security number. That call was generated by phone number XXXX, and the caller refused to identify herself. She however, informed me that the telephone calls will continue until they I paid what is owed. I am a senior citizens with health conditions and find this abusive. I spoke to an Attorney who informed me that this is some type of Zombie Debt method that is used to force payment. I was also advised by the attorney that oftentimes these companies will show a payment received with a current date to continue their level of harassment and to circumvent the law. My concern is that this is not a debt that I owe and it is well over 28 years! In addition, I have learned through my research that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is defunct. I requested that they put it in writing and to date have received nothing from either collection agency.

In XXXX, I moved from my principal residence in Washington DC and discontinued my landline/internet/cable service with XXXX. XXXX included a termination fee on my final bill, which I believed was improper. Nevertheless, after spending hours trying to get this resolved, I finally gave up and decided to pay the full amount due and in dispute. On XX/XX/XXXX, I paid {$490.00}, re : acct # XXXX by personal check to " The CBE Group '' - the collection agency that is the subject of this complaint - to which the debt was referred. Now, more than 3 years later, in XX/XX/XXXX, I was contacted by another collection agency ( XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX MA XXXX ) about a debt owed to XXXX. I told XXXX that I already had paid the debt and then I called The CBE Group XXXX XXXX ) to ask for confirmation that they received my payment and discharged the debt. The agent I spoke with at CBE ( I believe, a XXXX XXXX XXXX (? ) ), was extremely rude and refused to offer any help, suggesting that I contact XXXX or various other options, even though it was to The CBE Group that I made my payment and which cashed my check. I have asked my bank for a copy of the cancelled check and expect to receive it shortly. In the meantime, I am shocked that The CBE Group, which received my money and cashed my check ( and confirmed over the phone that it had received the check a few days after I sent it ), refuses to give me any written receipt or confirmation that it received payment in full. My request is that The CBE Group provide this documentation.

Sometime around XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from CBE group requesting identifying information from me. I asked the woman who was a representative working for CBE group that I was in a communal office setting at work, and I was not going to provide that information until I was in a secure area. I requested she please call me again at a time I knew I would be able to share this identifying information. Specifically, after XXXX on any week day. Between XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX XXXX I received over a dozen phone calls on M-F between the hours of XXXX and XXXX, and received XXXX calls after XXXX. I was unable to answer any of the calls as I was at work and not able to answer my phone. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a call at XXXX, which I was able to answer, but not provide any information ( as specified prior ). I asked the gentleman from CBE group to read me any notes on my account. He said there was one note to not contact me until after XXXX on weekdays. I explained that I had received over a dozen calls in the last 2 week during work hours and requested he call me again that afternoon. He said " I can have you marked as do not contact, is that okay? '' to which I explicitly told him " No '' and explained that was not what I was asking, and I would be more than willing to receive any calls after XXXX on weekdays. I was then never contact again and CBE group placed a major derogatory on my credit report. When I called CBE group and spoke to a representative, they informed me I had been marked as " Do not Contact ''.

This complaint is regarding a collection agency company, CBE Group, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX, XXXX. The debt is from XXXX XXXX XXXX, in the amount of {$160.00}. On XXXX XXXX, 2017 I got a noticed from XXXX stating that CBE has placed a collection in my account, regarding a debt that I had through XXXX XXXX XXXX. But the issue here is that, I was never given a notice in the mail, or email by CBE Group. Nor was I given a phone call. CBE claim that they sent me notice of the debt, but it was sent to the wrong address., and CBE admitted the mistake they made. The bottom line is that, I did n't know anything about this debt, being sent to collection agency. Nor had I any knowledge of it whatsoever from CBE. Had I gotten proper notice of the debt, I would 've paid it immediately, but it was put on collection and posted through the major credit reporting agency, such as XXXX, and now my credit will be immensely affected in a negative way, all because of the mistake that CBE made. Although I paid the whole debt immediately once I found out through XXXX, I 'm still in a lot of stress because it will impact my credit worthiness. It is n't my fault, it 's CBE 's fault that they did n't follow the law, CBE failed to send me written notification of the debt. CBE group di n't follow proper laws and procedure, now, I must suffer due to their mistake. The CBE agent I spoke with said that it will be remove immediately from XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX,. But somehow, I find that hard to believe., nor do I trust CBE.

I had no idea that there was a collection of {$25.00} against me until I attempted to apply for credit. The company informed me that XXXX had a horrible mark against my credit because a collection agency by the name of CBE Group claimed that I never paid a {$25.00} debit. It would have been nice to have been notified by someone of what this charge was for and when it happened. This company never sent me any written notification about this issue and now XXXX has removed it from my credit report. But I have no idea what the other credit bureaus show about the CBE Group and how to get those additional agencies to remove this erroneous claim. My concern is that this company holds people for ransom by submitting inaccurate information to credit bureaus without the consumer being aware of it. Clearly enabling companies like CBE Group to act in this manner is no different than anyone in the world putting a mechanics lean on a home so that the title is cloudy. There needs to be some sort of proof that the company has reached out to the consumers and that the consumers clearly ignored all communication. They should also be obligated to obtain a signature of delivery of their notifications in order to file with the credit bureaus. This is not the way that companies should be allowed to do business and there need to be repercussions to organizations who file erroneous and inaccurate information about consumers. I look forward to your insight and support to stop predators like CBE Group.

I was looking to move into a new apartment then I went ahead and had a look at my credit report and I noticed I have 2 collections both from charter communications. The first balance I noticed was for the amount of {$510.00} posted to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. and another 2nd account posted to my XXXX credit report. Note that I did not authorize or consent to any contractual agreement with Charter Communications ( spectrum ) and I have no contractual obligation to pay the current creditor of this debt CBE Group. This is careless misuse of my personal information and I did not consent to have this data furnished as per FCRA 15 USC 1681 a " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate '' I demand that these accounts be removed from my credit reports. Failure to respond within 30 days of receipt of this complaint may result in small claims legal action against your company at my local venue. I would be seeking a minimum of {$1000.00} in damages per violation for : -Defamation -Negligent Enablement of Identity Fraud -Violation of the fair debt collection practices ( including but not limited to Section 807-8 ) -Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( including but not limited to Section 623-b ) I will also file a complaint to my district attorney, XXXX. Below I attached a FTC complaint regarding this issue.

I called back in XXXX to settle this account after they switched to a new collection agency for a XXXX XXXX account. We agreed to 3 payments of XXXX appx. They took the first payment in XXXX, all events are for year 2018,. After the first payment I called back within that same first week and asked to cancel the arrangement because I could not afford it any longer and I was moving soon. The representative was very rude and threatened to report the account back to the credit bureau under the previous full balance versus what I even just paid. She told me she would cancel the arrangement and when I asked to speak to her supervisory regarding her service she refused and told me no supervisors were available when I called back I was placed on a block list. I called back today XXXX to find out why they charged my account again I spoke with a very rude supervisory who began to raise her voice to me and yell. I asked to speak with her manager because I wanted the previous call reviewed in XXXX she told me she would not do that nor did she have available and begin to get really rude saying I could call back and speak to a supervisory who was her equivalent. Once again when I tried to call back to customer service my number was blocked and I did record it this time. They charged my account when I asked to cancel the arrangement and refused to resolve the bill error they caused and threatened to report the full amount less the one payment I made.

We signed up to have XXXX/XXXX services in our home. We moved because of a job change and wanted to transfer this service to our new home. We wanted XXXX service at our new home, but we were told we could not have service. Later, we received a bill for cancellation charges. We did not cancel ; XXXX cancelled our service because it was not offered in our area. We were not in breach of our contract. We wanted XXXX service. We called customer service about the charges after receiving the bill dated XX/XX/2018 with the cancellation charges. We spoke to XXXX from the Billing Department, reference # can be provided. He assured us this would be taken care of. We went into the service center on XXXX XXXX in Wyoming, and called the customer service number again on XX/XX/2018 and spoke to XXXX. He assured us the matter was resolved and the charges would be removed, so we put the issue behind us. We started receiving calls from a collection agency trying to charge us the cancellation charges. The collection agency told us we had to dispute the charges with XXXX. We wrote the attached letter and received no response. In order to stop further problems with our credit report, we paid the {$660.00} cancellation fee and hoped again the problem was behind us. We recently refinanced our home and discovered there is " serious delinquency '' listed on our credit report because of this issue. Thank you for your help with this matter.

Hello, I received on my credit report an unpaid notice for {$26.00} from the cable company XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that hurt my credit score by XXXX points and impacted my process with the Lender in obtaining a mortgage over such a small amount. The unpaid notice was then sent to a debt collection agency, CBE Group ( www.cbegroup.com ). I never received any urgent phone calls to resolve this issue. On XXXX/XXXX/2016, I contacted XXXX XXXX and paid off the unpaid bill notice. It should be noted that I paid off the amount, but XXXX XXXX was unable to inform me what the charge was for. I had closed a cable account and moved. All they did, supposedly was send a bill notice in the mail to my old address, which I never received. This bill was then sent to CBE Group ( debt collections agency ) for XXXX XXXX XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/2016, I spoke with CBE Group to confirm the issue has been resolved and that they 're in the process of withdrawing the bill from my credit history. I informed CBE Group that they never called me, but was informed that CBE Group does make phone calls to inform customers of the unpaid bill, but DOES NOT LEAVE MESSAGES. If an issue like this can impact my credit history by 100+ points, I think it is very important that debt collection agencies leave a proper voicemail and provide every opportunity to have these issues be resolved before it is impacting a consumer 's credit history. thank you

I was purchasing a car in XX/XX/XXXX and was told that my credit reports returned a debt collector notification. When I pulled the credit through my current bank a few weeks later a medical debt was reported and I filed a dispute through XXXX. The dipute listed that the CBE Group Inc tried to contact me 3 times, however I was unaware and the dispute came back unspecified. I followed up with a phone call to XXXX where no one could explain the debt and I was told to contact the collector. On XXXX XXXX I was arrive to work to find my paystub had already garnished my wages for this debt at the amount of {$460.00} a month. The employer had been notified on XXXX XXXX XXXX and I was not notified until XXXX XXXX upon my discovery. When I received the paperwork for the garnishment from my employer I contacted CBE group regarding the debt to complain about the garnishment with no court order and the only information I received was it was medical debt from XXXX but no details other than {$5400.00}. They are no longer communicating and Im being bankrupted by this issue without the ability to exercise my right in court nor being explained the debts. I have supplied paperwork showing that my XXXX benefits ended in XXXX and I have carried private insurance through my said/current employers. I believe they are wrongfully placing the garnishment and the destroying my credit for an old debt or a debt that can not be explained.

I've been receiving multiple calls from a company called " CBE Group. '' On the phone, they are extremely vague about who they are and what they are calling about. The first time I answered the call, I let things proceed until they started trying to confirm personal information without telling me who they were or what they were calling about. I hung up. The second time they called, I tried to ask who they were. They told me they were just a company who " dealt in a variety of personal and business matters. '' They said they are based in XXXX, XXXX but would not tell me anything else about the company. I spoke to a woman who said her name was XXXX XXXX. She told me her supervisor was somebody named XXXX XXXX ( or XXXX XXXX? ), but refused to connect me with the supervisor. Eventually, I was connected to somebody named " XXXX, '' who said he was the floor manager, but would not tell me anything else about who CBE group was and what they were calling about. I looked into them and the internet says they are a debt collection company. None of these calls mentioned any debt or disclosed that they were debt collectors. I can't think of any debts that would be unpaid and would be sent to debt collectors, so I worry they are harassing people based on weak leads ( similar name, similar address, etc. ) and hoping to confirm enough information over the phone to justify more aggressive debt collection tactics.

I was never contacted about owing anything to XXXX. I call the collection agency phone number : ( XXXX ) XXXX that is listed on the credit report and it said that is no longer in service and to call XXXX XXXX XXXX. The call to that number ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) automatically drops and it doesn't work. I contacted XXXX ( XXXX ) and they said that this is from a XXXX account that during that time I had XXXX out. They had given me monthly discount due to all the issues that I was having and they tried to recharge me for them. Back in XXXX I requested to speak to their supervisor and I asked her to go back and listen to the recorded phone calls. She agree and informed me that she would contact me back with a response. She called me and told me that I was correct and they went back and took the amount that they had charged me off and she told me on the recorded line that my balance was {$0.00} and wouldn't owe anything and I'm good to go. I requested the XXXX agent that I spoke with today to go back and listen to those calls and she said that she couldn't as they don't keep information for that long. They had charged me back a year later ( in XXXX ) and never reached out to me for it. I have 4 other services with XXXX and they have never even brought this up with me ( all under the same phone number as before ). This charge is false and I request them to go back to listen to the past phone calls.

I have been contacted by this debt collection company three times on XX/XX/2018. First call at XXXX, second call at XXXX, and third call at XXXX. The first caller refused to discuss the alleged debt with me until I verified my mailing address. I did not feel comfortable doing so without knowing what the call was about, and politely decline. The third call was with a woman who explained more about the alleged debt after confirming the last four of my social. I asked to communicate via mail only, and not to be called due to their current level of excessive calls. She stated they just sent me a mailer in a white unmarked envelope with details about the debt, which seems sketchy to me. She reiterated twice that I may mistake the mail communication as Junk Mail. When I requested a mailing address, she asked me why I need the information if a letter is already in the mail. I explained I want to send a cease and desist certified mail to have written documentation of my request, and she immediately started to speak fast. She claimed that she updated everything in the notes of my account, and I can call the number on my ID if I have questions and rushed off the phone. I dont think my request for the mailing address was unreasonable, and I have reason to believe that they intend to call me excessively. I also feel it is not legal to keep such information from the consumers with alleged debt.

I received a phone call today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) attempting collect a debt that I do not believe is mine. The creditor could not give me any information about the debt with the exception of the original bank name, and amount due. They gave me access to log into my online account. There was very little information in the online account ; however, I called back once I discovered the first name on the account was wrong and the address was 15 years old. The account is not on my credit report. I have never received any information regarding the debt and have no knowledge of an account being opened in XXXX, as I had a federal saving account in XXXX and am being told this is originally a XXXXXXXX XXXX account. When I called back I was told I could dispute it with the company, but it would likely be sold to another debt collector who would attempt to collect this debt. This is past the statute of limitations for XXXX XXXX where they say the debt is coming from, and the statute of limitations in the state where I live, XXXX I had my identity stolen in XXXX of XXXX and they are stating this account is from XX/XX/XXXX but have given me no information with the exception of a log in to pay the debt amount. I believe this company was deceptively trying to get me to reactivate an old debt that does not even belong to me. The attached file is the only communication I have ever received regarding this debt.

So my wife and I switched from XXXX to XXXX, and XXXX advertised that " we 'll pay your early termination fee ( ETF ) ''. So we went there and we followed all the steps for them to pay our ETF, and now we 're getting calls from the CBE debt collection agency about a XXXX bill that was never paid. So I called the main office number and the female representative said I should of received a prepaid debit card with the money on it and that I should of paid the termination fee myself and use the card for what ever else. So when I called the store where I pay my bill at the male representative said " well, how it usually works is you pay the termination fee and we reimburse you with a debit card. '' I told him " that was never explained to me when I decided to choose XXXX and if that was the case, then why advertise that XXXX will pay your ETF when I have to pay it myself? '' The representative proceeded to tell me there is nothing tmobile can do for me due to it being passed the XXXX day limit to request a ETF yet I followed the steps that the representatives told me to do. Now my grandmother-in-law and myself have marks on our credit due to the lack of knowledge XXXX failed to provide me with and set XXXX up for failure and the false advertisement that they 're still advertising to this day. Can someone help me or at least point me in the right direction to take care of this problem?

Hello CFPB, Thank you for assisting us, the borrowing public, with our credit and finance matters in dealing with the notorious consumer-law breaking credit reporting agencies, debt collectors and creditors. They so blatantly violate the consumer-protection laws and rules. All of the above entities are rascals and must be reigned in. My complaint is with debt collector CBE GROUP of XXXX XXXX, Iowa. I had disputed this debt in the amount of {$210.00} about 9 months ago with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX, Minnesota who deleted the negative remark after I had complained to the credit reporting agencies for lack of response from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Then, The creditor or XXXX XXXX XXXX sold it to the present debt collector, XXXX XXXX as it was not collectible due to its invalid status. Fortunately, this negative remark is only on my XXXX credit profile. I have herewith attached a copy of my dispute letter addressed to the original debt collector, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, and to which they failed to reply. Please contact the debt collection firm, CBE GROUP and request them to remove the derogative because it is interfering with my ability to get ahead financially. Also, please advise the debt collectors, in somewhat harsh language, to behave and align with the consumer-protection laws. Again, thank you very much CFPB staff for the good work you are all doing at the CFPB.

I am writing to file a formal complaint against CBE Group for engaging in a practice commonly known as debt parking, which, according to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I recently discovered that CBE Group has reported an alleged debt to credit reporting agencies without making a good-faith effort to contact me, the consumer, as required by law. The FTC clearly stipulates that debt collectors are prohibited from reporting an alleged debt to credit reporting agencies without first attempting to reach out to the consumer to discuss and verify the debt. The specific details of my complaint are as follows : 1. Alleged Debt Reporting : CBE Group has reported an alleged debt to one or more credit reporting agencies without any prior communication or attempt to contact me regarding this debt. This action not only violates my rights under the FDCPA and FCRA but also undermines the fundamental principles of fair and ethical debt collection. 2. Lack of Verification : Without any prior contact or attempt to reach me, CBE Group has reported this alleged debt, which raises concerns about the accuracy and validity of the debt in question. By failing to follow proper procedures, they have left me without the opportunity to verify or dispute the debt as allowed by law.

I am an international student who lived in XXXX. I got sick around XXXXwhen I was visiting my XXXX so I went to the XXXX, XXXX historical there. From here, I receive a medical bill which I believe I paid. I previously had issue with the charge so I had attempted to call them also I remember I was promised a call back. I also contacted my student medical care XXXX at the money since I was a XXXX university student. I remember I later receive a check from the boatload regarding something about the bill but I dont remember what happened. Later I moved to XXXX for graduate school in XXXX. I hen moved back to XXXX due to COVID. I recently revive a message from my aunt saying that the CBE group sent me a mail for a debt they need to collect and I need to dispute it within 30days or else it is valid. I dont know what the bill is for and I do not live in the states so there is ll way for me to ask them about more information. Nor does the hospital has a email that I can ask regarding this issue. The paper said I would face judgement if I do not lay the bill. The bill is around 100 only and I have no issue paying this if this is what I forgot to pay or some miscommunication issue between me and the hospital, but I do not understand why all of a sudden 2years later I need to lay this bill. And what would happened if I did not pay it in time? Would that affect any of my credits?

I never gave The CBE Group my direct consent to communicate with me. I received a petition for an alleged debt from them in the amount of {$3100.00}. They list the Internal Revenue Service as a Creditor. I never give out my private dwelling address. I was VERY disturbed when I received something in the mail from an unknown company that I have NEVER done business with. I called the company and I am in possession of the recording where representatives from The CBE Group had access to my private personal information including my social security number. When I responded to the mail they sent me I received one communication where they stated they did not have an account for me but then received two other letters where they stated they were returning an account they referred to " your account '' back to the Internal Revenue Service. It is VERY upsetting and stressful that my information is being transferred without my consent to people I man not giving my direct consent to. I have proof of all documents received from the company and my responses to them along with copies of electronic receipts and tracking numbers from the USPS. I also have two call recordings as well. My information has been breached. The CBE Group is also committing mail fraud by sending me nonmailable matters through the mail. I am sick of the deception and false and misleading communications.

I received a bill from a " CBE Group, INC '' attempting to collect a debt on behalf of " XXXX ''. This date claims to be an amount of {$43.00} and includes a " service disconnect date '' of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I did previously have XXXX XXXX internet and cable service from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX a standard 2 year agreement which was disconnected promptly at the end of the XXXX month. I attempted to contact XXXX directly to see if there were any outstanding charges on my account and they confirmed a XXXX balance from the account held XX/XX/XXXX- XX/XX/XXXX. After spending roughing XXXX minutes on the phone being transferred back and forth between XXXX " Customer Service '' and the CBE Group `` Customer Service '' and " Finance Department '' I was only able to be told that the {$43.00} was from " pay per view '' orders and ordered through the account associated with phone number " XXXX ''. I did research on this number as I did not recognize the number and found that the area code used " XXXX '' is not a valid registered area code in the United Stated. I formally disputed the charges with " The CBE Group , Inc. '' pm XXXX/XXXX/XXXX by written correspondence to their mailing address and would like for the debt to be validated prior to potentially harming my credit or before I make an unnecessary payments for charges of services I did not approve.

This complaint is against THE CBE GROUP XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX. I have no contract with this 3rd party debt collector. They also never notified me in writing and if they did please provide evidence that you notified me before parking this on my consumer reports without my consent. You are in violation of the FDCPA if this account isn't removed from my consumer reports I will pursue suit and remedy to a federally protected consumer. Account number listed on my consumer report is XXXX. I have never done business with XXXX XXXX delete this from my consumer reports. I am also questioning the account balance listed own my consumer report shows {$390.00} but why is the original balance {$390.00}? I also have the right to privacy I need this deleted/ removed because I never gave you consent. You are also reporting inaccurate and incomplete information why are there payment terms of 1 month on this collection account but the name of THE CBE GROUP? If this is a collection account how can you put a status of " COLLECTION ACCOUNT. {$390.00} past due as of XX/XX/2023 ''? I have never opened an account with THE CBE GROUP remove and delete this immediately. Why is there a date opened? I have never opened an account with THE CBE GROUP and if I have where is the evidence that gives you the right to report this on my consumer report? DELETE/ REMOVE.

Today I answered a spoofed number that has been harassing me. They claimed they were the CBE agency and they've called me 5 times in four days during work. I asked what it was for and they said it was for XXXX, I wasn't aware I owed anything. The rep XXXX XXXX stated they sent me over 5 letters so I asked for dates they weren't sent.She then stated it got sold to them and they sold it to another company. I asked for the address to the company so i could send a validation letter she wouldn't give me one. I then asked why isn't another company contacting me if they sold them the debt she couldn't answer. She stated she couldn't give me dates sent but they were sent multiple times. I asked to speak to the supervisor who the rep stated was XXXX XXXX. The supervisor got on the phone and she stated today was the first time they contacted me and they also have a address which they gave me as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA i XXXX it and I'm not sure if that's even correct. I was never sent anything before. They couldn't even tell me what it was for only it was from XXXX. It doesn't make sense because it's all conflicting info, and I expected to get answers but just got a hard time. They've called me XX/XX/2019, XX/XX/2019, XX/XX/2019 and twice today the XX/XX/2019. They didn't leave any messages and according to XXXX they've called many more times.

XXXX opened an account in my name without my consent or authorization over 20 years ago ( I found out about it in XXXX after my brother passed away in a house fire ). The account was at my deceased brothers residence in XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX, NC XXXX. I have NEVER lived there or authorized any account to be opened in my name. I have advised XXXXXXXX of this by phone and certified mail. I have requested a copy of my agreement and a payment history. They will not provide, they instead sent bill copies from XX/XX/2022 thru XXXX XX/XX/2022. I have never lived at this address or consented to have an account at this address placed into my name. The first collection agency agreed and sent it back to XXXX, now they have sent to another collections agent. My personal account with them was at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, NC XXXX was closed in XXXX of 2022 after being open well over 25 years with never ONE LATE PAY! It was paid in full with a XXXX balance. This account at XXXX NC is NOT MY DEBT! I NEVER consented to or authorized it. I have spent hours trying to get this resolved. For a company to be able to come out of nowhere and claim I owe a dent on an account opened 2 decades ago with out my consent is a total sham. Not only have I had to deal with my only siblings passing, I am having to fight this company on a debt I do not owe!

I terminated my service with XXXX in 2018 and returned all the equipment. I received a notification on my credit monitoring on XX/XX/XXXX that a collections has been filed against me. I already escalated the issue with XXXX and they admitted their error ( ticket # XXXX ) but don't think my credit report can be corrected for up to 8 weeks ( 45-60 days ). It could take up to a month to notify the collections company ( CBE ) and up to another month to remove from my report. This time frame is unacceptable. I am in the middle of refinancing a mortgage. A negative mark on my report will lead to a higher interest rate that costs me thousands of dollars. This is essentially fraudulent billing in which they already admitted to have a record that the equipment was returned, and still billed for it. In addition, it is unconscionable to send something to collections 2+ years after-the-fact with no contact to me. I never received any email/call/mail regarding this charge, and in addition, the fact that it took only a few hours for them to confirm this was wrong suggests it was corporate malfeasance to NOT do due diligence before sending the debt to collections. You can see in the attachments my account shows a XXXX balance, and in the comments of my account screen, that equipment was already returned/removed from the account.

I was scammed into buying what I thought was a one-year contract for XXXX. After one year my bill went from {$30.00} to XXXX. I told them unless they could put me on a cheaper plan I would have to cancel my service. They did not object, or give me any options, so I called XXXX XXXX and got a lower cost plan from them. I called XXXX and told them I wanted to cancel my service. Then I was told that I could not cancel without a fee to cover my TWO-YEAR contract. When I told them I did not have a two-year contract, they told me I did have one and that I could have gotten a cheaper plan with them.. But it was too late as I had already agreed to a plan from XXXX XXXX. Now a collection agency, CBE Group, is trying to collect {$220.00} from me and I ca n't afford to pay them. The letter contains this notice, " Unless you notify this office within thirty days after receiving this notice that you dispute the validity of this debt or any portion there of, this office will assume this debt is valid. If you notify this office in writing within thirty days after receiving this notice, that you dispute the validity of this debt or any portion there of, this office will obtain verification of the debt or obtain a copy of a judgment and mail you a copy of such judgment of verification .... '' I can not pay, and need help.

They have repeatedly called me almost everyday for about a year. Some times there is a day or two gap in calls but they call me Atleast 4 times a week. I never return calls unless a voicemail is left or I know/recognize the number, and I NEVER answer unrecognized numbers. Almost every time they call its from different numbers but the same area code ( XXXX ) and the caller ID just says XXXX, Ok. I dont know how many phone numbers this company has but good lord theyve called me from probably XXXX different numbers, which as you can understand makes blocking them impossible. I do have some debt collectors sending me mail but these phone numbers or company name ( CBE group? ) are never on the paperwork so I have no idea what these people want and Im not talking to them. The other day it changed when the caller Id said CBE GROUP and I had something to go off of so Ive been looking into them. The reviews are downright scary. A lot of people saying harassment, lots of calls, rudeness, scam-like behavior, demanding personal info without giving any info themselves about why theyre calling. I have no idea who these people are or what they want and I refuse to talk to them. I just found out about this bureau and being able to make a complaint. PLEASE HAVE THEM STOP CALLING ME FOR THE LOVE OF XXXX STOP CALLING ME

I have received correspondence from Company CBE and received several telephone calls related to a previously disputed account with XXXX/XXXX. CBE Company indicates that they received the file in their office 45 days ago and was bought from XXXX XXXX. I informed the representative that this account was not mine the result of Identify Theft ( probably from XXXX breach ), which I have been dealing with over the last 2 years, with several accounts opened fraudulently in my name - XXXX XXXX. I provided CBE with my current information and asked for them to validate the debt and to send me any documents via mail, which I have not received. Instead, they reported this fraudulent debt to all 3 credit agencies, which has resulted in my ability to obtain additional credit. I want this account validated, via a signature page, and sent to me within 15 days. I have disputed the debt with all 3 credit bureau 's. I am attaching the previous letter from XXXX XXXX, stating that they were not able to validate the debt and that they would remove this fraudulent account from all credit bureau 's. I want a similar removal letter from CBE if they can not validate via a signature page and want this fraudulent account removed immediately from all credit bureau 's. This account is not mine and was opened in my name fraudulently.

On Friday, XX/XX/2022, and Friday, XX/XX/2022, I received two identical text messages from an unknown phone number, ( XXXX ) XXXX, claiming to be the CBE Group. In these messages, they told me to contact them at ( XXXX ) XXXX or paycbe.com. They provided no context on what sort of debt they are trying to collect, no statement with balances, and no identification of my name in their messages. They also did not provide a physical address that I could reach out to via mail. On top of all this, nowhere could I find these numbers to be associated with the CBE Group on the Internet. I did report this as spam to my cell phone provider the first time receiving this, only to be contacted once again. Normally, I would be skeptical of these messages, but I am aware that CBE Group is a legitimate debt collection agency that partners with the IRS. Additionally, the XXXX area code of this phone number seems to match that of the CBE Group 's headquarters. When I checked my profile on the IRS website, it stated that I do not have any debt owed. I'm not sure if whether this text was sent by mistake or with malice. Since I don't recognize this number, I do not feel comfortable replying by text or calling them back. However, I also do not want them to falsely report me to credit bureaus for debt that I do not owe.

XXXX XXXX XXXX was given access to my open-end account to establish and open an accepted credit card account with their bank to cover my personal, family and household purposes for our private vehicle repairs and ongoing maintenance. I asked the bank to show me the accounting in its entirety. As it pertains to the account. They immediately closed my account, labeled it bad debt and defamed my character and damaged my credit. I was just reading on The CFPB enforcement page that a {$9.00} XXXX XXXX settlement was just reached with XXXX XXXX who violated consumer financial protection laws and rules that protect individuals when we dispute credit card transactions. The Truth in Lending Act protects my right to see the full and unadulterated accounting of my account. I was punished because I asked to see the books on my account. I now know that they had something to hide that they absolutely didn't want me to see. I now see that they have charged off the account and sold it to a third-party debt collector named CBE group. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't credit card accounts non-transferable and non-negotiable? If that's true, then aren't these two companies acting fraudulently? XXXX XXXX XXXX. ignored my rights protected by T.I.L.A. and the CBE GROUP are attempting to collect a debt in fraud.

After a routine credit report assessment on XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed an account in collections with the account name THE CBE GROUP. The status noted, Collection account. {$230.00} past due as of XX/XX/XXXX. I was unaware of this account, and the details under the account list XXXX XXXX ( Retail ) as the Original Creditor. Doing a web search notes that this company is linked with XXXX XXXX, or XXXX. I am not a XXXX subscriber, and I can only assume that this debt was incurred by my ex-spouse, whom Ive divorced in XXXX. As far as I know, my ex-spouse resides in the state of XXXX, and I have not lived in XXXX since XXXX, as I now live in the state of XXXX. I filed a dispute with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, and the dispute was resolved and removed from my XXXX credit report. The dispute still shows up on my XXXX and XXXX credit reports, so I disputed this account with both credit bureaus on XX/XX/XXXX. As of this writing, the dispute filed with XXXX is still pending investigation. However, as of this writing, XXXX noted that they attempted to dispute this collections account with THE CBE GROUP and that THE CBE GROUP verified that this information was correct, and subsequently my responsibility. This information is false, and this debt is not mine, nor do I have any confirmation of what this account is tied to.

I was alerted by XXXX that there was a negative action showing on my account. I disputed the debt, but by dispute was rejected as being a proper debt. It is not. CBE has posted a collection against my credit in the amount of {$990.00} on behalf of Charter Communications d/b/a XXXX XXXX. CBE told me that I had to talk to XXXXXXXX XXXX fraud department. XXXX needed more info, as I did not exist in their system ( despite supposedly reporting me for collection ), so I called CBE back, with a XXXX rep on the line. The account number given does NOT exist in XXXX 's system. The address connected to the account in collection does NOT have my name on it, nor is it in default. Simply put, nothing in either company 's systems links to me, yet I am still in collection. Also note that I have never received a collection notice as required by law. I only found out through XXXX.

I received notification on my alerts through XXXX that a new credit collection account is appearing on my account at XXXX , XXXX and XXXX on XXXX XXXX , 2017 wi th XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX . I disputed the same with documentation. First, the last payment date indicates XXXX XXXX , 2017 wh ich is in the future. Second, I do not have gas service at my present location and have been at my present location of XXXX XXXX XXXX for over a year. I received not notification of such account and no request for verification of the same. Also I am in the process of purchasing a mortgage to close on XXXX XXXX , 2017 and ended up paying this amount which is still reflecting as unpaid, even though I do n't believe this account balance belongs to me but possible the new tenant at the location I left behind over a year ago, I paid as I cant proceed with the loan process with the outstanding amount listed in collection. So it is paid in full. I have proper documentation of both my current lease and the paid in full. I am requesting that this account be removed from my credit reports as I was never given proper notification for verification purposes, I was not living in this home during the delinquent period, and I have not paid a debt I do n't believe belongs to me.

My father passed XX/XX/XXXX and I was assigned as administrator of his estate during probate. The probate court required that I maintain the utilities at his residence where his XXXX was living during the probate process as she had made a claim to part of the estate. Around XX/XX/XXXX, dad 's house sold and probate court had me send a final payment tXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and end services. This was done and court was satisfied. Probate was closed around XX/XX/XXXX and funds were distributed. Around XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX started contacting me claiming I owed them money in the amount of about a month of service. I explained the situation to them and made it clear that I owed them no money. About XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from CBE Group as an attempt to collect on the invalid debt. I responded immediately explaining that the debt was invalid. My response was ignored and soon after the debt showed on my credit report and the phone calls started. I now receive multiple calls per day by this debt collector. They use computers to assign them fake local numbers in order to dodge my spam filter and blocked phone number list. This is not a large debt and I have considered paying it to make them just go away, but that's what they want and I will not pay a debt I do not owe!

I have been receiving phone calls on my job and company phonne for the past 3 weeks starting XX/XX/XXXXfrom a debt collector called CBE Group that states I owe a XXXX XXXX Bill from XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of XXXX. I have asked them to send me a written notice of the bill but have not heard anything back on this. I had also signed up with XXXX XXXX for my present cell phone service over a year ago and I feel that if there had been an outstanding debt, it would have been brought to my attention then. Due to my working, my wife called the company to ask them about the bill and to let them know that there was no debt on record to pay and the customer service rep informed her that I am, in fact, responsible for the debt and that if I do not pay it, it will go on my credit report. He continued to argue with my wife until she finally told him that she was going to report his company to the FTC, State Attorney and consumer finance. He said that's fine but I would still have to pay this debt or it would be put on my credit report. My wife also called XXXX to see if I did have an old account that was not paid and after running my SS number, they said no and even confirmed that if I did, I would not have been able to get my present service until any past due debts were paid.

XXXX sent my account to collections for a transaction. XXXX never issued me payment for an item I sold. They held payment because I was a new seller. The buyer returned the item however I never collected payment. XXXX issued a refund to the buyer but attempted to debit my XXXX account for the refund amount. My paypal account never received the funds from XXXX in the first place. My XXXX account is linked to my XXXX. XXXX has now sent me to a collection agency for the funds and is destroying my credit. Ive attempted to resolve and investigate over a dozen attempts via call and email with both XXXX and XXXX since XXXX 2020- now XXXX XXXX.over 9 months I have been seeking answers and resolution. XXXX refuses to give me any insight or proof and has locked my account. XXXX has also locked my account now. Both companies are saying the issue is with the other company yet refuse to work together with me to resolve. This is now falling into extortion- as of today the XXXX support agent said we are not doing anything and you either pay the balance we claim you owe or our collection agency will report you to the credit bureau XXXX XXXX says we never got funds from XXXX so you need to settle this with them and XXXX says we sent funds to your XXXX take it up with them or pay.

Today I was contacted by a place they referred to themselves as CBE FINANCIAL GROUP Via telephone. They asked was I a certain individual and I told them I dont confirm or deny, they then stated This is an attempt to collect on a debt I said Okay? In a puzzled tone. She then said Well, do you live at ( insert actual address including zip code of individual she was calling about here ) and I became outraged. I am an abuse survivor and this woman blurted out SENSITIVE PRIVATE INFORMATION, the address to someones home. I told her that was very unprofessional and what if I been a serial killer? What if I were an abusive ex? What if I had any ill will or intentions? I can understand her asking FOR my address to confirm the account, but sitting there giving me some strangers private address over the phone call completely baffled me. That has to be illegal. There is no way that she could know if I were the person in question or someone that knew the person in question and wanted to harm them. I asked to file a complaint, I was told because I did not have an account with them, I could not file a complaint with them. Completely disregarded my concerns and acted like this was business as usual to do this often with people that they contact and that is just NOT okay.

After careful review of my consumer reports, I noticed an account on my report from CBE Group account number : XXXX I have not received any goods or services from this company ; nor have I ever done any business with the company. I am unsure of how this company illegally obtained any of my information as far as my name, ssn, and dob. As I know that only a contract/ signed agreement between CBE Group and I would make me legally bonded to any debt that they may claim. I am very sure that I have never provided any wet signature or provided any of my personal information to this company on any agreement. With that being said, had CBE Group sent a Debt Validation Notice as they are lawfully required to per FCRA ; I would have been able to rightfully dispute this account before they unlawfully caused harm to my consumer reports. I am requesting that CBE Group provides proof of delivery/receipt that they have sent a debt validation notice. I have never received any written or verbal communication as directed via FCRA Law allowing me the proper opportunity to dispute this invalidated debt. Consider this a demand to cease and desist as well as a notice of unlawful conduct of failure to distribute proper notice. Please remove this account off my consumer reports

This collection has been reported against me by CBE Group -Former on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX This reported collection is incorrect. First, I have never been a customer of XXXX XXXX. Second, the report shows an opening date for this collection shows as XX/XX/XXXX and makes a comment that it was affected by a natural disaster. I am not sure what that means, but I have requested documentation to prove this is my debt since it was first reported by CBE in XXXX. I disputed this account in XX/XX/XXXX, requesting account documents to prove it mine. Those were never received. The account was transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX who reported it again, I disputed for the above reason and XXXX removed it from my report in XX/XX/XXXX. Now CBE Group Former reports it again. This time with an open date of XX/XX/XXXX. Throughout this repeated dispute, I requested account documents proving this debt is mine, I have received nothing. Again, I have never been a customer of XXXX XXXX. Account documents should be provided to me that show clearly that I signed for whatever service this relates to as well as any account history ledgers that prove there was an actual delinquency. If that cant be done, this collection should be totally removed from my credit report permanently.

I moved out of my apartment XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and in XXXX I received a bill from a debt collector requesting payment of {$350.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating that the XXXX & XXXX disconnect date was XXXX/XXXX/XXXX at the same location that I had moved from. I had never received any bills attempting to collect from XXXX & XXXX in three years until I received this collections bill in XXXX. I contacted the collections agency and advised that I turned my service off with XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, they advised me to get proof that I had moved, I got the proof from the leasing property management that shows the date I moved and mailed it to the collections agency. I called one week later to verify that they had received the document and they advised me that XXXX XXXX XXXX still wanted them to collect and to keep it as a valid debt due. I called XXXX & XXXX and was told that they do not accept proof such as a letter from the leasing company documenting that I had moved. I asked them to pull the record of the call where they were to disconnect the service and I was advised that they could but most likely would not do it. Even with proof that I was not residing at the apartment, they refuse to help me and are attempting to collect a debt that is not mine.

On XX/XX/XXXX, a negative debt collection was added to my credit report for {$39.00}. On further investigation, it was related to a cable modem I'd returned a year earlier when I moved from XXXX to Georgia. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX had told me that I could return the modem at any XXXX even when in XXXX. This turned out to be false. At the time their website was experiencing issues and no one over the phone would give me any information. My account is still mangled and I pull the wrong account number when I go to their website. To this day clicking on any options off the main screen yield an error ( multiple browsers, multiple computers, multiple networks ). I most likely wrote this number on the package. I returned the modem at my own expense. Note that they were charging me XXXX XXXXmo for a modem that was worth apparently {$39.00}. I used it for over 6 months. I DID have my mail from my old address forwarded by the post office. Spectrum made no attempt to contact me on my email which they had, mail or other means. After about a year, they decided to send me to collections. To this day it still says I owe {$0.00} on their website. When I called them they promised to " investigate '' but said they won't allow a bill dispute for a bill over 60 days.

Received call from someone at CBE group asking to speak with me. They identified me by my full name and said they were calling on behalf of another organization, but before they could disclose anything I needed to verify my name and 2 pieces of identifying information including phone number, email, and/or address. I refused and asked what it was in reference to - said they could only tell me it was on behalf of a clinic I visited 2 years ago while living elsewhere. I immediately hung up, called the clinic, spoke to billing manager who indicated that I had XXXX outstanding balances with them and they never sent my information to anyone. They provided me with a statement attesting to this fact. I immediately called CBE back and asked to speak with a supervisor. They refused to disclose anything without me verifying any personal information. I said no and they said they were beholden to regulations that prevented them from sharing what the debt owed was for. I read verbatim from the FTC site that said they had to disclose amount of alleged debt owed within 5 days of contacting me. I received another call a few days later, going through the same process. They were all located in the Tennessee office- XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. It is super predatory.

I placed a bed on the XXXX site, and a person originally purchased it. I mailed the bed to the person, upon receiving the item, the customer changed her mind about the purchase and subsequently was supposed to send it back. Therefore, a refund was processed on the account. However, the bed was never returned to me. Even though, I had tracking information from United States Postal Service, it never showed up. I was informed that the bed was lost in transit by the USPS. I paid for the shipping costs when I sent the bed to the buyer, and the customer should have been responsible for the shipping costs to send it back to me. The issue still remains, I never received the bed from the customer. XXXX has sent me a bill for shipping costs for a bed that I never received back. Further, there must be a mistake about the shipping charges, as I sent the bed originally to the customer for a much lower price. I have spoken to XXXX on several occasions about this issue and have gotten nothing less than the indifference to my concerns. I do not feel as though I am responsible for the shipping costs that appear on the notice that Im sending you. I would appreciate if you folks could provide some assistance with this nightmare issue.

This is a complaint from XXXX against CBE Group for CBE Group 's failure to provide requested information for the debt alleged. As of XX/XX/2017, CBE Group has been reporting an open credit account for the XXXX. On XX/XX/2017, consumer ( through XXXX ) responded with a written request for documentation, including the following : a. Signed copy of the original contact ( s ) ; b. Any notice ( s ) of assignment or receipt of sale of the debt alleged ; c. Any notice ( s ) of delinquency ; d. Ledgers/spreadsheets/accounting statements showing how the debt alleged was accrued ( including any fees and interest charges added to this debt ) ; e. A copy of your debt collection rights license ; f. Proof that you are licensed to collect this debt in Arizona ; and g. Any other documentation which tends to show validity. It has been 30 days since this request, and we have received no response. Creditor 's failure to respond to a consumer 's good faith request for documentation makes it impossible for the consumer to make an informed decision regarding the debt alleged. This is a violation of USC 1692, and other federal acts which require lenders and debt collectors to act in good faith and refrain from unfair deceptive or abusive acts.

Good morning, I was made aware of the charged for a router that were due by a collection agency over the phone in late XX/XX/2023. Initially, I figured it was a scam call until I received a letter. Very confused, because I was never initially contacted by XXXX ( the company that owns the property ) I never thought it would be sent to a collection agency. The first call with CBE I told the receptionist I was not comfortable giving my bank account over the phone and needed a website, which had not been provided. After doing my own XXXX search, I found the account online. Still, unsure if this was indeed a scam because there is an option to agree to pay less on their site which struck me and I would imagine any reasonable person as odd, I waited. I received an alert through XXXX alerts of a change to my credit of a collection on XX/XX/XXXX and immediately paid the $ XXXX dollars. Mind you, no due date on the amount owed was never given to me, and was never seen on the CBE Group website. Based on these facts, and the small amount due, which was paid, I am requesting this collection be purged from my credit file as I see it as unfair practice by both XXXX and CBE Group. Thank you.

I am filing this complaint against the following company : CBE Group XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX P : ( XXXX ) XXXX I an continuously being harassed by CBE Group for a debt they claim that I owe. I have repeatedly asked them to stop and they continue to call me outside of FDCPA regulated hours. CBE Group knows that I am a resident of XXXX XXXX, California ( and have been for 3 years ) yet they constantly call me before XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, CBE Group called me at XXXX. I called back and asked them to stop and they ignored me. On XX/XX/XXXX, CBE Group called me XXXX. I called back and again asked them to stop harassing me and calling me outside of FDCPA regulated hours. The woman was very rude and said they will call when they want. She verified that I was a California resident, once again, and then proceeded to claim I owe a debt that I know nothing about. I am sick of being harassed by this company. They are completely disrupting my quality of life and my family 's quality of life by constantly calling me at wee hours of the morning. In addition, they claim I owe a debt to XXXX and I have never sold anything on XXXX. This company should be fined for illegal collection practices.

I was a guarantor on my daughters XXXX XXXX account. It was a subsidiary account of mine. My daughter took over financial responsibility for the account in XX/XX/2016. For whatever reason, she did not pay the past bill before the account was switched over to her under a new account. I was NEVER informed by XXXX that a payment was missed and a balance was due. There explanation is that we had the bills set up to go to her. She paid them for years. The issue is that they never notified me before turning over to collections ... even though they have my contact info and my phone number. Even the the collection agency called me ... and I paid it immediately. But XXXX has the 'sent to collections ' on my credit report and wo n't take it off. I believe the should have notified me, as the guarantor, before sending to collections. I want them to remove the 'sent to collections ' from my credit report. Which they could do, but wo n't. Their procedures are flawed and I should not have a bad credit report because of their procedures. I desire the right to be contacted before a bill is sent to collections. Please ask them to remove the collections information from my credit report!

I filed a police report and identity theft affidavit to report the crime and disputed items on my credit report ( s ) with all three major credit reporting agencies. XXXX of the fraudulent accounts was opened with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Another was opened with XXXX XXXX. I have never had accounts with either of these companies. I disputed XXXX these accounts ; however, neither of these companies acknowledged my dispute and XXXX subsequently turned the accounts over to a collection agent. The collection agents, XXXX XXXX XXXX and CBE Group refused to acknowledge the dispute and have continued their efforts to collect these accounts from me. XXXX these collection accounts appear on my credit report and XXXX are hindering me from obtaining a mortgage to buy a home for me and my family. I wish to file a formal complaint against XXXX The CBE Group and XXXX for unfair credit reporting practices and I request that these accounts be removed from my credit report. Thank you for your assistance. XXXX XXXX

After having XXXX in XXXX XXXX, I received numerous medical bills. I paid all the bills I knew about. Sometime between XXXX and XXXX XXXX I received numerous phone calls each day from the same number. The caller would never leave a voicemail for me to determine the purpose. When I answered the call, the caller stated they were from an institution I had not heard of and that I owed money. They would not discuss the debt with me until I confirmed personal information. I requested their company name and phone number so I could confirm who they were and that it was not a scam prior to providing my personal information. They were not cooperative. I did not hear any more about this debt until my credit was pulled for a new home purchase in XXXX XXXX. This was a stagnant account for a year and a half. I was not contacted in any way during this time. Now, after a year and a half, the debt was sent to collections and last week I was finally told this was a legitimate debt and not a clerical error. I want to pay this bill but have not had cooperation with getting the claim off of my credit history once paid due to the communication being poor about the debt initially.

I have a collection from XXXX that has repeatedly appeared on my credit report. The original company, XXXX XXXX XXXX, failed to take my name off of a cable bill when I moved from Ohio to Pennsylvania in XX/XX/XXXX. This item has been bounced between CBE Group & XXXX XXXX in the last 3 years. I have contacted each company repeatedly to say 1 ) it is not my debt and to ask XXXX why they did not do their job and 2 ) to stop contacting me. CBE Group now calls my work number repeatedly ( XXXX pm XXXX, XXXX pm XXXX, XXXX pm XXXX, XXXX pm XX/XX/XXXX ( twice ), XXXX pm XX/XX/XXXX ( twice ), XXXX pm XX/XX/XXXX ( twice ), XXXX pm XX/XX/XXXX ( 3 times that day ). If CBE Group refuses to cease contacting me about this debt and does not remove it from my credit reports ( even though I have disputed multiple times ), I will have no choice but to take legal action due to them violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). They need to contact XXXX ( or XXXX or XXXX or whatever they are called now ) and tell them that this debt is not collectible. I am not responsible for XXXX making a mistake and should not have my credit ruined due to poor record keeping.

I terminated my XXXX XXXX service XX/XX/2016 due to poor service when the service technician failed to show up during the scheduled time window. The technician rescheduled for the next day, but failed to show up again in the time window and actually tried to access my property, after dark, through a private, gated entrance! I immediately cancelled my service and paid the amount due up to that point according to the customer service representative. This person also confirmed the {$49.00} service fee would not be charged. Since then, I've spoken with XXXX XXXX twice and they confirmed there was a " note '' to remove the service charge, but it never was. The account went to collections with a balance of {$27.00}. I've been contacted by mail and email several times by the collection agency. I've reached out to XXXX XXXX through social media to resolve and they were supposed to zero out the account and remove it from collections. I checked my account online ( still active ) and it still shows a balance of {$27.00}. I downloaded the last statement which shows the balance AND {$49.00} service fee that was never removed. XXXX XXXX actually OWES me {$21.00}!

There is a collection account filed with CBE group that was assigned by XXXX XXXX after the account was billed for an increased amount without notification or authorization. I talked to a XXXX XXXX representative in XXXX of XX/XX/XXXXregarding this and she did not acknowledge a payment that they sent me a receipt on, told me they did not have to notify me of a fee increase, refused to allow me to talk to a supervisor and refused to accept a partial month payment for a two week period covering the last week in XX/XX/XXXX and first week of XX/XX/XXXX The receipt i have from XX/XX/XXXX was almost $ 50 month higher than XX/XX/XXXX and there was no notification of the increase. It should be noted that I had called XXXX XXXX in XXXX of XX/XX/XXXXto cancel my account because of a similar rate increase and they reduced my monthly rate telling me that they would provide me notification if any rate increase was anticipated. It is important to note that I did not have a contract with XXXX XXXX with any time limitation and was on a month to month service verbal agreement with them. The address for CBE group is shown to be : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Iowa XXXX

The CBE Group has been relentlessly sending letters in the mail and phone calls claiming I have a {$220.00} balance to XXXX. The service address in their claims is not my address, nor was it ever my address. I've contacted CBE group regarding this endless amounts of times. I have submitted disputes through the mail and over the phone. I have made complaints to the Iowa Attorney General and the Massachusetts Attorney General. I disputed the debt on XXXX. The last time I called CBE to remove the debt, they said they can not do that until I prove I never lived at the address. I explained that the burden of proof is in fact on CBE Group to prove I lived at the address and that the debt is mine. Clearly they do not have any standing as the representative said with boredom, " we're just a contracting company '' and offered no support. I have exhausted all resources to have this debt removed and to have communications from CBE regarding this bogus debt cease. A quick internet search will tell you that CBE is a scam group, making false claims to many consumers such as myself. CBE needs to be investigated and this situation needs to be resolved.

At XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, received an attempt to collect a debt from CBE Group XXXX. Explained that they have yet to send a validation letter and that this debt is under dispute. Please see attachments to letters/ emails to prior collection agency back on XX/XX/21 and email to XXXX XXXXXXXX I told CBE to cease and desist collection activity as this is a disputed debt. Representative said they 'juts got the file ' I advised that they should return the file and mark it in dispute I can certainly afford the {$20.00}, its the principle of the matter. I also have a expetional credit history ( see picture ) which I guard against these type of issues I happen to work in the debt collections business, and it saddens me when players do not follow the correct steps. For the purposes of your investigation 1- Did CBE group purchase this debt from XXXX or from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 2- Neither XXXX nor XXXX do a good job in complaint management handling as neither marked this account in dispute nor allowed it to continue 3- XXXXXXXX, never responded in writing how I requested- and possibly failed to inform XXXXXXXXXXXX or worse sold the debt to CBE

A few weeks ago I noticed a new entry of a Collection account on my Credit Report ( CR ) via XXXX XXXX XXXX online platform. The new entry was from CBE GROUP collection amount = {$900.00}. I was able to dispute this new entry with XXXX Credit Bureau, however, in their Account Dispute they did an Update, and the new entry remained on my CR. I intuitively knew something was wrong when XXXX left the fraudulent entry intact, I then decided to check my profile with XXXX to make sure my information was correct and accurate -- -it was there I discovered that CBE had provided an erroneous address to XXXX and the other Credit Bureaus such as XXXX and XXXX . The erroneous address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX. XXXX Please note, I have never lived there or have ever visited XXXX, Texas in all of my life. Therefore, it is plain as the nose on a face that this CBE collection claim is fraudulent. They claim to have my correct name and social security number, but the account is fraudulent as I do not owe the original creditor, XXXX XXXX any monies. Indeed, I have maintained a XXXX XXXX with XXXX for the past 15 years, and said account is in good standing.

On XX/XX/XXXX, a debt collecting agency named CBE GROUP filed a derogatory collection notice to all three credit bureaus on behalf of the originating creditor named XXXX ( formerly named XXXX XXXX ). The debt collecting agency did not provide a formal notification to the consumer ( Formal Correspondence for notification of Debt ) in order to validate the debt and provide the consumer the opportunity to dispute the debt if it was deemed invalid. As a consumer, I had to do my own research by contacting the debt collecting agency and the original creditor regarding the debt. After a thorough research it was deemed through XXXX that I have NO current outstanding debt with the company ( Based on the telephonic conversation with the XXXX Customer Service Representative on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX at approx. XXXX XXXX ( Communication Form # XXXX XXXX. I believe this debt collecting company violated the Fair Debt Collecting Practices as governed by the FTC and in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act under 15 USC 1601 ( 805-808 ). I am requesting assistance to have this derogatory report to be removed from all credit reporting bureaus.

Complaint Details On XX/XX/2022 I paid off the remaining balance of two ( 2 ) phones and my mobile service with XXXX XXXX. At that time my phones were then unlocked because I had no remaining balance with XXXX and I owned both of the cell phones. On that same day I switched my phones and phone numbers to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX so I no longer had ANY service with XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I receive a bill from The CBE Group, INC on behalf of XXXX XXXX for {$130.00} which was for services after XX/XX/XXXX. These charges included payments for both cell phones ( which I paid off ) and my monthly service fee. I would not have been able to switch my phones or phone numbers if I had any balance owing to XXXX XXXX. And in switching my phone numbers and phones to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX no longer was my service provider. I never received a bill from XXXX XXXX via mail or email. The first time I learned of this debt was from a collection agency. I was told by XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2022 that I would not owe anymore money. There is no way I would be able to take my phones and transfer them to another carrier if I had a balance owing.

On XX/XX/20, I received a notification that three collections were added to my credit reports from the CBE group. I had previously been working with the CBE group to settle the account, but the collections were placed on my credit reports anyway. Because I wanted to settle the debt, an agreement was set up with the CBE group to settle all three accounts that were in collections in the amount of {$300.00}. I also have the agreement # to show proof that this was the accepted amount to settle for. Since XX/XX/20, I reached out to the CBE group to ensure that my accounts would be updated properly with each credit bureau to show that the debt has been paid. However, when speaking with a representative and after logging into my account, it appears as though CBE group has somehow deleted the original agreement to settle the accounts, and now there is a balance showing for each account, AFTER the agreement was accepted by CBE group. I am at a lost for words that this has happened as I didnt know that collection agencies can void agreements after theyve taken a payment for such agreement to resolve a debt. This is completely unacceptable.

After three attempts, someone answered and said he was with the fraud department and how could he help me. I told him he should know because the guy just transferred me to him. He said he didn't know but he could help me anyway. I hung up.

I called CBE 's main number and spoke to someone who collects for XXXX and she confirmed that my number was not associated with any number they had for collections.

This company has along history of financial gains from unsuspecting persons from military to civilians in researching their history. They have sent out a notice showing me a DOD referenced past due bill of XXXX ; when pressed the male caller at XXXX stated it was in reference to XXXX. This all with no documentation to support and then they had added penalties and fess of almost {$700.00} I requested no further calls to be made until documents could prove this claim. In calling both finance and XXXX there was/is no amounts outstanding or due. Further they never use a 3rd party agency for collection. In my opinion this is fraud being practiced across state lines into Texas. Further they are using a XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX to have unwarranted payment sent to by credit card. This crosses several lines in fraud to criminal activity. I do not see how this activity can continue over the years. Please help stop this so others are not swindled. I would close by saying the XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX MO should be investigated for receiving these funds scared out of some folks! Wrong, very wrong even in this business ' operations in the US!!

In 2014 I rented a car from XXXX, XXXX in XXXX. During the rental period, without damage to the vehicle, the car experienced a flat tire. Upon return of the vehicle to XXXX at XXXX, XXXX, it was determined I was not at fault for the flat. There was no damage to the tire and this was admitted to by the agents to which I returned the vehicle, otherwise in perfect condition. Three months later, XXXX applied damage costs of nearly XXXX dollars to my credit card. I appealed to my credit card company and the charges were reversed. Since, XXXX has turned this debt over to a US collection agency. I am receiving up to 10 phone calls per day. They have not sent a letter to me to substantiate the charges as it appears they are required to. I have a perfect credit score and have never defaulted in any debt, nor even been late in payments. I feel that the charges XXXX has attempted to apply to my card post my rental were egregious and bordering on criminal. The collection agency has not corresponded with me other than an initial letter in which they asked for my explanation of the debt. They have not substantiated the debt by writing.

On XX/XX/2018 a collection account from The CBE Group Inc-Former was added on my credit report on all 3 Credit Bureaus for an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that states it was opened XX/XX/2018. First off from doing my research XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX is based and services in California. I have lived in Ohio for the last 2 years and prior to that I lived in XXXX for 7 yrs. and XXXX for 20 yrs. Not once did I ever have this service provider in those 28 yrs. This came up on my Credit report once before I believe in XX/XX/2018. It was removed shortly after, as this is not an account I opened and also they deemed it as Fraudulent and was removed from my tradeline then magically I was applying for an Auto Loan and this Company added a collection account to all 3 credit bureaus. Now they are " Parking and Re-aging a debt that is not mine. They have never contacted me via mail, phone or any sort of communication. So not only has this account been removed once from a different collection agency due to it not being my account and not mine and not accurate. I want this removed from my tradeline on all 3 credit bureaus immediately.

After having my service with XXXX suspended for several months after moving to a location I was unable to re-establish service, I ended up closing the account on X/X/15. The service had automatically resumed, even without any service equipment connected. I called and spoke with a representative and discussed options. We decided the best thing would be to close the account and pay the early termination fee and remaining balance. She credited one month as a courtesy and since only 1 day had passed in the current bill, that month was essentially refunded as well. This overall left me with a credit of {$130.00} on the account after paying the early termination fee. The account was closed on X/X/15 and a refund of the remaining balance was mailed to me on X/X/15. I have email confirmations showing both events. XXXX has repeatedly over the last 2 years sent my account to collection agencies saying there is a past due of {$180.00}. This is untrue. I have repeatedly disputed this amount with the credit bureaus and had the negative actions removed from the reports. 2 years of disputing credit reports is really getting a little old.

Please note that I requested " validation '' that is competent evidence bearing my signature, showing that I have ( or ever had ) some contractual obligation to pay them. I also told them that the negative mark found on my credit reports included on all three credit reporting agencies from their company or any that they represent, for a debt that I don't owe, is a violation of the FCRA & FDCPA ; Therefore if they can not validate the debt I want the company and the credit reporting agencies ( XXXX & XXXX ) to delete the entry.

I moved out of a property and never received a notice that there was an amount due of {$100.00} from XXXX XXXX. I had a credit report run for a mortgage loan pre-approval over 2 years after I moved out and this amount due was brought to my attention on XX/XX/2022. I immediately contacted the collection agency ( XXXX ) and creditor ( XXXX XXXX ) to satisfy the balance and ask that the reference be removed from my credit report. The collection agency recommended I contact the creditor to have this amount paid in full. Upon speaking with the creditor ( XXXX XXXX ) and paying the amount in full, they said I need to speak with the collection agency ( XXXX ) and that they would be able to delete the reference from my report. After speaking with XXXX several times, they sent a letter of satisfaction on XX/XX/2022 that stated the amount has been paid in full but this was not a letter of deletion. This reference on my credit report is still not being removed and significantly impacting my credit score. I have attached all relevant documents to this account and also the letter stating that this amount has been paid in full.

I am unable to demand validation of this alleged debt because they have never contacted me or sent any documents to my home. I m allowed a XXXX period in which to dispute the validity of this debt. CBE did not notify me but instead changed my home address on my credit files and then added this collection, causing a XXXX point XXXX loss. It shows an account with XXXX. I dont have any accounts with XXXX and never authorized anyone to use my personal information to open a charter account.

On XX/XX/XXXX I called CBE Group which is a collection agency for Charter Communications or Spectrum and requested to speak with a supervisor. I was placed on the phone with supervisor XXXX XXXX. I explained to her that I didn't realize a payment was due because I moved. She confirmed once I paid she would send in a letter of withdrawal to the credit bureaus and it would be removed once they received the letter. She explained that they don't do pay for deletion, but since I was unaware a balance was due because I switched residents, she would make an exception and send in a withdrawal letter which would wipe it off my credit completely. I paid the amount and she reassured me I had nothing to worry about. I called back XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to a team lead by the name of XXXX XXXX. He explained that the information she gave me was wrong and the most they would do is a letter of satisfaction. I explained to him that XXXX XXXX defrauded me out of a payment and to check the audio recording. He was reluctant to do so. I told him that I would be filing a lawsuit and his attitude was very dismissive.

I disputed an item that was falsely added by this creditor. On my credit file they claimed i owed {$160.00}. On XX/XX/18 I sent my first letter, this letter was received by them via certified mail on XX/XX/18, After 30 days passed, this company responded to my first letter by sending me a false document that looks like a bill, this document didn't bear my signature and furthermore didn't reflect that I had a contract with this company or their alleged client. Unsatisfied with the first letter, I sent them a 2nd letter on XX/XX/18 continuing to dispute the derogatory item on my credit profile, this letter was received via certified mail by them on XX/XX/2018, this company had no response to my 2nd letter and furthermore they continue to report this false item on my credit profile to all 3 bureaus. As per FTC opinion letter from Attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX, a printout of a bill or itemized document does not constitute verification. I have received nothing from this company and they continue to break the law by falsely reporting derogatory item on my credit profile. This is illegal and unethical.

Following that visit, I received two separate bills, both for the same amount, and for the same incident date. One of the bills was from XXXX XXXX, and the other was for XXXX XXXX. I had met my out of pocket maximum with XXXX, so they were obligated to take care of the bill. They paid XXXX, but not XXXX XXXX, and despite multiple attempts to coordinate with XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX over the past year, and multiple assurances from each company that they were looking into it, and it would be taken care of, XXXX XXXX has assigned the debt to CBE group, a debt collection agency which has reported the fraudulent debt to credit reporting agencies ( despite me informing them that the debt was not accurate and was being investigated ) and reduced my credit score by XXXX points. The fact that I have to bear the consequences of these companies incompetence is unbelievable. This is now impacting my ability to finance a mortgage or auto loan and is a fraudulent report.

I received an sms for a debt from " CBE Group '' # XXXX. I proceeded to call them and got through to a representative. Its from an XXXX collections account from XXXX according to the rep and there is approximately {$45.00} dollars due, not worth our times so i negotiated and we made it to {$20.00} the price he offered and we both agreed on, I provided my credit card and address to pay it off on the same call, and the agent even repeated and confirmed the info, just as he is going to submit, he says " it looks like the lowest amount we can go is now {$25.00}... I told him that's ridiculous and an unacceptable tactic, its not for the {$5.00}, but for the deceptive and in clear violation practice. He then said since I wont accept the {$25.00} the well record it on their end as well as XXXX... This is clearly violating several FTC guidelines ; Public Law 111-203, title X, 124 Stat. 2092 ( 804, 805, 808, 809 ). All this after i provided them my updated address/ my contact info and my credit card information! I want this resolved by them and absolved or going after the full penalty+ suing.

I have little to no information about this gas utility debt with XXXX and now with collection with CBE. I have several rental properties with XXXX and have always paid by bills. My current credit score is around 835, however, my mortgage score ( XXXX ) is several hundred points lower and I can not qualify for a new home loan. Perhaps XXXX kept sending mail to the rental property address after I sold the property. This could be fraud by a tenant. My identity has also been stolen in the past. I really have no idea how I could not have been properly notified for this debt. Also, please keep in mind this is only a {XXXX} collection and it has been paid. I didn't know my rights to validate this debt nor do I believe I was properly notified and XXXX has my phone number on file. It has been negatively affecting my life and my ability to purchase further rental properties. Lastly, I was under the impression that if the {XXXX} debt was collected, it would be removed from my credit report. I can also attach my credit report to show you my great credit score and ability to pay bills.

I am XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am submitting this complaint myself and there is no third party involved. Due to the Pandemic, we have been facing a lot of problems in terms of financial, emotional, and physical aspects. Also, I have been hearing a lot of recent news that the Bureau is having data and system issues. I disputed the fraudulent information from my credit report and found that this account is inaccurately and erroneously reporting in XXXX Credit Bureaus. Their intentional and willful furnishing of inaccurate information is a violation of FCRA Section 623 and according to FCRA Section 611. I have done many attempts to reach out to XXXX Credit Bureau but they failed to give me any results or feedbacks about this concern. Also, I tried contacting the XXXX Credit Bureau requesting a complete payment history with this account for me to review the exact date on which the collection was posted. Unfortunately, there was no successful resolution provided nor feedback heard from the concerned Bureaus. Per FCRA, reporting must be 100 % accurate or the information must be deleted.

I keep getting calls from CBE group ( their number ( XXXX ) XXXX, a number from XXXX, Wisconsin, as what is on the caller ID. I spoke with one of the agents and they said i owed some money. I was unaware of any debts that i owe to whomever they are claiming i didn't owe it to, so i asked them where the debt came from, and they did not know, but they did however begin to phish or ask for my personal personal information. Were i worked, where i live, my phone number and email, social security number. It felt suspicious and I so demanded they take me off the Call list. They did not. I blocked their number, but they used a different line. They won't stop calling. I picked up this evening and the same thing happened. They began phishing for personal information. I then demanded they provided a physical address so I could go in to speak with them. They did not provide it. I believe they are attempting to steal my private information. The calls are disrupting my work and evening life. I am becoming frustrated and angry for these scammers trying to steal my personal information.

XXXX phone company is claiming I owe them {$8600.00} for account # XXXX. This notice came after the contract was paid in full throughout the year of XX/XX/2018 and closed. Notice came in the form of the Collection Agency letter. Numerous communications were made with XXXX whose website bill statement claims all the payment made throughout the year reversed back on XX/XX/18 due to Financial Institution request. I was advised to contact Financial Institution. And I did. As per my bank, transactions claimed by XXXX did not take place which is further supported by bank statements. These same bank statements were provided to XXXX for investigation which had no consecutive action, phone calls, or emails. In a follow up communication by me I was advised to follow up with financial institution, which I already did, and the conversation went on in circles. Meanwhile, collection agency is calling me several times a day, and already effected my credit score. I am attaching three bank statements around the date XX/XX/18 to show no reverse transactions registered on my end.

2 days ago I received email notification from credit monitoring that a collection account had been added to my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report I found that CBE had listed a {$290.00} collection account on my credit report with an original creditor under the name of that I had never heard of before. I never received any communication prior to the email from my credit monitoring system. I do not know the bill or who the agency or creditor. I was never contacted by either prior to or after placing the collection on my credit report. Further the account lists a first delinquency of XX/XX/XXXX. I am an expat and have lived overseas since XXXX. I have accounts that I maintain in the USA but none from a original creditor by the name of XXXX XXXX that's listed on the account. I have had no delinquent accounts of the counts that I maintain in the USA. My payment record has been fawless and this entry ruined a nearly 32 year perfect payment record. This account needs to be verifed and removed from the credit report as it is inaccurrate and doesn't belong to me.

My rights have been violated repeatedly. I can not receive a home loan because of these alleged accounts that are reporting negatively by the CBE Group. a medical debt collector that is currently reporting XXXX collection accounts on my credit report. I have made disputes with the CBE group and with the XXXX bureau 's. The supposed investigation claims the debt is verified. I have had my credit report pulled three times in the past three months. Each report contains the same errors. For example : Alleged Account # XXXX " opened '' XX/XX/XXXX meaning the alleged account was opened XX/XX/XXXX. When I call the CBE Group they do not have record of an Account Opened date. They have a " SERVICE DATE ''. not one of the XXXX credit bureau 's have a " SERVICE DATE ''. CBE should n't be able to put information in what ever section they think is right or might go. And the " DLA '' date of last activity. Can not predate the " opened '' date. Any account must be opened before it can have activity on it. I have explained this to the CBE Group and to the XXXX Bureau 's.

Today XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX I found out they are trying to collect {$90.00} dollars from a bill that dates back to XXXX and they know it but still harass me. I asked them to stop calling and that 9 years have passed the agent tried to collect while I was on the phone again. So, I told him that I will contact you and hung up. They've been harassing me since XXXX by phone calls and posting the {$90.00} dollar on the XXXX XXXX application I don't know how they are doing that. This is an old bill that is passed the 7 year mark. I want them to take it off the app and stop harassing me. The name of the bill collectors is CBE Group their number is XXXX. These folks are tricksters no ethics they need to be closed down. These agents are probably doing this to all customers that have XXXX XXXX names, thinking that they don't understand English and their rights as a consumer. How many people are they harassing?????? I want them to take it off my credit report! Also to stop calling me, and to stop posting it on the XXXX XXXX app that I use for my medical services.

CBE Group is reporting a debt on my credit file that I do not owe. I recently took a look at my credit and noticed that this debt continues to report despite there being no validation made. I have sent several letters to CBE Group for them to send me validation of the debt and have yet to hear back for any of them and it's been well over a month. Under the FDCPA, I have the right to request validation of the debt you say I woer you. I ask that CBE provide me with documentation that I am bind to pay this debt to them. I ask that CBE provide me with evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay them. Reporting invalidated information to any of the three major credit bureaus might constitute fraud under both federal and state laws. If any negative mark is found or continues to report on my credit, I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against CBE for Violation of the FDCPA and Defamation of Character. If your offices fail to validate any debt I ask that all collections be deleted from my credport and copy of such deletion letter shall be sent to me.

I recently pulled a copy of my consumer report, and noticed that there was an account with The CBE Group Inc. I have contacted the company requesting documentation that they sent a notice out to me, requirement of the FDCPA, because I do NOT owe this alleged debt to them. I informed them that they have violated my federally protected consumer rights, violated federal law- FCRA and FDCPA and committed criminal attacks against me. As required by the requirements of the FCRA, furnishers and reporting agencies both must use reasonable procedures, which the CRAs did not do prior to placing this fraudulent account on my consumer report. The inaccurate reporting on my consumer report is also a violation of the FCRA 's requirements of accuracy. In addition to the violations committed by the company, the CRAs are just as liable because they did not uphold the requirements of federal law in using reasonable procedures in investigating my disputes, ensuring maximum accuracy and confidentiality. The CRAs conspired with the company to cause financial damage to me.

XXXX XXXX XXXX submitted a delinquent account on my credit score which dropped my score 101 points. I contacted them to see why they did this to find out they thought i didn't turn in equipment. I let them know i did an the location i turned it into. They submitted a request to find. Said equipment they later found me not guilty of delinquent payments. On equipment an removed the charge on the account with them putting the amount at owed {$0.00} dollars paid. The issue is they didnt remove. The collection of my credit score. That they wrongfully submitted instead the submitted it on my credit score as paid down to {$0.00} dollars due to national disaster. I never had a national disaster. An i never owed them anything. So they need to remove the collection off my credit history. As a mistake on there part. Completely as wrongfully submitted. So i can get my 101 points put back on my credit score. Cause as long as its showing i had something in collections. It will negatively affect my score. XXXX XXXX XXXX is listed as : CBE group on my credit history

Calls repeatedly from a fake local number every day, no voicemail just calls. Sometimes twice in less than a minute. Finally sent an email with the proper debt notice, but continued to call over and over each day. When I had time to step away at work to talk, I asked for the full final bill for the debt, never received it. I asked multiple times when they would call me again. Finally, I decided to settle the debt via payment arrangements. Set them up and when the second payment was to go thru it did n't. Received emailed on Sunday about debt, received 3 calls on a Monday morning, called them as I was confused because of the arrangement that was set. Come to find out they do n't do auto payments which was n't made clear to me previously. Made that second payment and now all of a sudden the arrangements change, the previous person should n't have made the arrangement with me and unless I start paying a larger amount each month they are going to continue collecting/calling me and report me as a non pay. This bait and switch tactic is very unfair.

The initial debt was from XXXX XXXX. Following a contract closure, XXXX wrongly charged me for not returning their equipment, which I actually did ( XXXX Return Tracking Number : XXXX ). I never received this invoice ( and despite my requests afterward ) After several phone calls, XXXX did find the equipment, and admitted it was a mistake from them, but still never canceled the wrong invoice. The 2 last calls to XXXX XXXX were on XX/XX/2022 and on XX/XX/2022. XXXX 's representatives always tell me that it will be handled within 10 days, but nothing is canceled. Worst, they don't have any traces of the previous request. XXXX XXXX sent this wrong invoice to XXXX XXXX debt collector ( + {$26.00} fees ), greatly damaging my credit score. XXXX XXXX finally waived this debt. Then XXXX it to CBE Group debt collector, with even more fees ( + {$47.00} fees ). I'm disputing this debt as well. It is endless and without a 3rd party intervention toward XXXX XXXX I can't solve this issue from which I am solely a victim.

This collection agency called me several times about an unpaid bill from a utility. I informed them each time that my real estate agent had ordered stoppage of service and a final bill that I had paid, but that my request had been ignored. Previously, I had dealt with the utility on the same subject. They called me a liar. All other services had been turned off because we had moved everything out of the home. Again, my real estate agent called them to shut off power and gas. As I had moved out of the home, I was unaware that they had ignored the request. The text of an email from the real estate agent is below: Begin forwarded message: From: XXXX XXXX Subject: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date: XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX PDT To: "XXXX (XXXX)" Good Afternoon XXXX XXXX! We just wanted to let you know that the utilities for your property will be taken out of our name as of tomorrow, XX/XX/XXXX. We will be forwarding the bills to you once we receive them.

I have been receiving daily phone calls from multiple different CBE phone numbers as I have called the numbers back. I have blocked several numbers already, but they keep changing which number they are calling from. They call and do not leave a voicemail. I know that there are no debt collections against me. Yesterday I pulled my credit report and nothing is listed. In addition, I know a debt collector is required to send a letter regarding the debt collection and I have not received any. I have no problem correcting a misdirected debt collection as I called a collector who sent such a year ago for the former owner of my house. I called and provided the corrected information. My complaint and reluctance to work with this collector is they do not leave a voicemail. That is slimy to say the least. Typically a collector will leave a voicemail with reference info to call back. As such, it is difficult to discern if this is a scam. I am reluctant to call back and possibly get suckered into a scam.

I am current with my bill with XXXX. I got an alert on my credit saying I'm derogatory on 120 with them on the remarks it says natural disaster. I been with this company for awhile years. I call billing. I asked why was I receiving a credit alert that I'm derogatory. What do I owe the representative say for some old equipment. I asked what kind of equipment he say internet and a modem. I say I have the same internet and modem since I been with you all. Why I'm getting charged for equipment that I'm using. I had no reason to turn it in. On my credit report you put that I'm late paying for it. I asked why all of a sudden I'm getting charged for something all the way from XX/XX/2020. You all say the equipment been missing from years and years ago. I call again yesterday the representative said it should of been resolved and she apologize. This affected my credit to drop tremendously. I was in the middle of the house buying process. I now have to wait until all this off my credit. It has set me back.

CBE Group, located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX, is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. CBE Group placed a negative collection account on my credit reports, that I have no knowledge of, without notifying me before placing the collection account. I was not allowed to validate this alleged debt prior to the company reporting it to the credit bureaus which is substantially damaging my credit. The original creditor listed on the reports is XXXX XXXX, a company that I also have no knowledge of, or received any goods or services from. The amount CBE Group is reporting shows {$89.00} original loan balance and {$90.00} current balance. My score has dropped over 60 points due this is company 's failure to perform their due diligence instead of just purchasing random 'alleged delinquent accounts '. This company needs to remove this erroneous account that was added to my reports in XXXX 2020 since they failed to actually verify and confirm that I truly owe any company any funds.

Over the span of two weeks, I have received 26 calls to my cell phone from a debt collection company by the name C B E Group. My phone automatically rejects calls from this company but keeps a record of calls rejected. It is my understanding that it is in clear violation to make multiple calls to a number in a 24 hour period in an effort to collect a debt. I do believe it is considered harrassment. I would like the calls to stop and to pursue legal repercussion in regards to this harassing behavior.

I disputed a charge in writing to Spectrum/Charter on XX/XX/2021. I had cancelled services and the charge was for a period of service in which I had none. They turned me over to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$200.00}. Their letter said I had until XX/XX/XXXX to dispute the charge. I sent a certified letter disputing the charge on XX/XX/2021. I never heard back from them. Having never dealt with a credit company, I figured the issue was closed. Then, on XX/XX/2021 I happened to look at my FICO score through my bank and noticed it dropped from XXXX to XXXX. Running my credit report through XXXX I saw a negative report from The CBE Group Inc. I have never heard of them. I was never sent anything in writing and did not receive any phone calls, emails, etc. Apparently, they've had my account since XX/XX/2021. Although I still dispute the charge, I would have paid it to avoid ruining my credit had I been notified. I tried calling them today and their number is no longer in service.

This morning I received a call from XXXX XXXX. I spoke with a representative that informed me of a debt from 15 years ago. I laughed at him because I can't believe this is where we are in these times. You're calling to collect a debt from 15 years ago? If they would've checked my file, they'd see that all of my student loans were DISCHARGED back in 2014 because I am a XXXX XXXX Veteran with XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. So there's no need to try and collect because I'm not going back to work and the money I get is protected. Secondly, I am currently in bankruptcy. All they had to do is look at my credit report and they'd see that. After laughing at the representative and telling him that this is WAAAAAAAAYY past the statute of limitations, I informed him of my bankruptcy and gave him the file number. He told me, " A debt is still a debt. '' I mean, I know he's doing his job. But really??? I also have a recording of this call if anyone needs it. All of my calls are recorded.

XXXX was notified to terminate services as of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I had no written or verbal contract with XXXX that had a pre-determined time period or a specific notification required regarding notification to terminate services. Upon receipt of the first bill from XXXX after my request to terminate services another call was placed and the request to terminate was once again provided, noting that I originally called and terminated services on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, I sent a letter to XXXX and The CBE Group Inc. ( XXXX collection agency ) asking them to cease collections activity. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I received a letter from The CBE Group advising with XXXX response which was merely a copy of their billing statements without proof of claim. I have attached my XXXX bill ( internet ) and my XXXX bill ( television ) in support of my claim that a request to terminate services was made to XXXX. XXXX simply did not document the request, not once but twice.

In XXXX, I switched cell phone service from XXXX to XXXX and paid any balance in full. Months passed and eventually got a new bill under my name with a DIFFERENT PHONE NUMBER that I never had. I communicated with customer service and they transferred me to the Fraud Department. The rep determined the account was created by an unknown employee by using my identity. I contacted the local authorities and filed a report, which I have attached in you page. Debt has been sold to third party collection companies that I have called to inform it has been fraud. On XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote a certified letter to CBE GROUP demanding proof that this debt was mine. I also included the police report. On XX/XX/XXXX, CBE GROUP responded with the attached letter ; informing that the debt was confirmed. This situation has affected my life and credit opportunities. I respectfully request to investigate with hopes of removing this record from the bureaus XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. Thank you.

I have an ongoing billing dispute with XXXX XXXX, that they have never actually acknowledged. XXXX has reported the account in question as a collection record to all three credit bureaus, blatantly disregarding the XXXX. With that matter still under investigation and my lawyer currently pursuing the deletion of this record from my credit reports, I received a collection notice from a XXXX party collection agency on XXXX/XXXX/2015, demanding payment for this same account in the amount of said {$780.00}. It 's essentially 'double jeopardy ' in the credit realm. Considering the express fact that I do NOT owe XXXX XXXX any money at all and the ongoing FTC and legal complaints, it is highly inappropriate for XXXX XXXX to assign this account to yet another third party collection agency. NOT TO MENTION that XXXX XXXX is still attempting to harass me to collect on this same account. This is the XXXX time XXXX has " sold '' this account to another collection agency. This is absurd.

During the pandemic I lost my full-time job. I was unable to pay my rent and bills. I had to make a decision and I decided to leave the home I rented to live with a family member. During that time I reached out to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I explained to them my situation and asked if I was able to get on a payment arrangement. They said I was unable because I had turned off services. I explained to them that I don't want this to go on my credit. I made it clear that I couldn't pay {$520.00} straight out my pockets. They still refused but made me aware that it doesn't go on your credit right away and that it could take almost years. I then reached to the Public Utilities Commission to make a complaint. After they investigation, they indicated that they couldn't do anything. Now again they sold my gas account to a collection agency. The collection agency The CBE Group INC- Former is asking me for money. It is against the law to sale personally information that I didn't allow.

Twice now, CBE group has attempted to collect on a debt that is not mine, for XXXX XXXX. I have already proven that I did not have a XXXX account before XX/XX/2023 ; I used a fiber service for around 4 years prior and before then, I lived in a building that was pre-wired and included Internet service. Before then, I lived in a different state with a completely different cable service. Keep in mind that I can prove this beyond the shadow of a reasonable doubt, using receipts from my fiber service and my lease from my previous apartment, with Internet services included. This is not a fight that can be won by CBE. Not only is the account fake, CBE mailed me a document with a fake account number that does not pull up any account belonging to me upon calling XXXX this morning. This is not some honest mistake, this is intentional fraud and attempted theft on the part of CBE and I intend to sue them in small claims court for maliciously damaging my credit score.

CBE Group called 10 times in as many days. Only once was there a person on the line, all other times there was no one there. The one person I spoke to wanted confidential personal information from me ( SSN ) and I refused. When I finally tired of the repeated calls, I called back. Again I was asked for my SSN, and again I refused, which got me transferred to a human. That person asked me to verify an address that was not mine, then asked me to verify the last four digits of my SSN which were again not mine. They then said they had the wrong person. CBE Groups inability to correctly identify their debtors gives them no right to call me daily and ask for confidential personal information. They also made me concerned that my identity had been stolen. My phone number is on the federaldo not call list and I have no business relationship with CBE Group, making their repeated calls to me illegal. CBE Group needs to be held accountable for their illegal harassment.

CBE Group XXXX - Is reporting on my credit for a debt we do not owe. We are on a hardship/financial assistance program with the hospital and ALL my medical debts are included in that. This one is like 7 years old! You guys keep putting new collections on my credit report and the hospital has already told me they pulled them back. So I don't know why they keep doing this but I am tired of continuously fighting this with them. You are in clear violation, especially because we contact you every single time you post it on credit .... because, mind you, you never send a notice for me to dispute it, which is also a violation. But I contact them and fight with them every time and the hospital retracts the bills. I have this all worked out with the hospital and this needs to be deleted and they need to stop putting these on my credit! I am contacting my friend XXXX who is the Assistant Attorney General and I am filing complaints with them also.

I spoke to The CBE Group months ago that the debt was not correct and that XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) took it back and wrote it off, asked them to stop calling me and to contact the originator of the debt to verify. This is after several months of back and forth with them and XXXX and many hours of calls and frustrating conversations. They called again today, rude and harassing in tone, threatening to call repeatedly even after I told them to never call me again, and that I had already requested no contact. The agent, XXXX, told me that XXXX sent the bill to them again a few days ago, so they ignored my request for no contact and contacted me because it was sent new. He grew very angry in our conversation and eventually hung up on me after implying threats against my credit and further harassment. I contacted a supervisor to complain against XXXX, they informed me that I was on the no contact list and that this was unacceptable behavior.

I have a call blocking service provided to me by my phone carrier XXXX which Identify scam or these type of calls but all it does it let my phone ring twice and disconnects the call but recently this same number comes in and my phone keeps ringing and my blocking service does no good as if thought the number is being proofed.

I file my taxes on XX/XX/XXXX and received a alert when checking the status of my return. After speaking with IRS representative I was directed to contact CBE. A representative at CBE advise me that my taxes was offset for a return that filed in XXXX. I advise the representative that I file a police report as well as contacted all necessary parties regarding the fact that I was as victim of Identity theft. CBE as a collection agency never sent me an initial demand letter advising me of my right to dispute the debt per the FDCPA and by offsetting my IRS return they are in violation of the FDCPA of collecting on a disputed debt that is not mine.

i recently looked over my credit report and noticed a collection account by CBE as I do n't recall signing any contract with a company by this name nor do I recall receiving any duns letter by them. so I send them a certified letter tracking number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX requesting for a copy of any viable evidence bearing my signature showing the account is being reported accurately. I also informed them as per FTC letter from Attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX you should be aware that a printout of a bill or itemized documents does not constitute verification. being that I have that right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act but they have refused to send as well as mark my account as disputed within the 30 days which is a violation of my rights under willful noncompliance as per FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 3 ) Responsibility of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies [ 15 U.S.C. 1681s- 2 ]

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a notice from XXXX that I had a debt collection added to my account. I checked XXXX XXXX and sure enough CBE Group placed a collection account on my credit report for XXXX, XXXX and I'm assuming XXXX. They say the account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX and the remark was because of a natural disaster. The original creditor is XXXX ( XXXX ). I currently have an account with XXXX and the account is paid and in good standing so I have no idea what this collection is for. I have changed service twice with them and nothing has ever been said about an outstanding balance. In addition, I have never been contacted by the CBE Group in relation to this issue prior to it appearing on my credit report or after. It appears that they backdated the matter since I get an email from XXXX anytime something changes on my credit report. I recently refinanced a house and it didn't appear before the XX/XX/XXXX closing.

I have been contacted multiple times in the last two months by a company that identifies as CBE Group. I have blocked their numbers but they continue to call from different numbers. Today, they called from the number XXXX. I called back and a female-sounding voice answered the phone. I asked, " Who is this? '' She responded " CBE Group. '' I said, " No, who are you? '' She responded, " I am a manager. '' I said, " You will not give me your name then? '' I told her that they have been harassing me for over a month, and I understand my legal rights ; do not call my phone number again. I have no debt collection that I am aware of. My credit score is in the " Good '' area, I pay every one of my bills on time, and the only debt that I have is the debt from XXXX XXXX that I am not expected to pay until I start work as a XXXX XXXX this XX/XX/XXXX. This is harassment, and I expect this company to be held accountable for it.

In XXXX of XXXX, a credit report was run using my name and old address I left in XXXX to move to my current address. A cell phone was purchased at XXXX for approximately {$980.00}. The bill was not paid and since my old address was used, I did not receive any notices of delinquency. Started to receive debt collection calls from various collectors. I ran my credit report and noted the negative item of the unpaid XXXX bill. I disputed the bill with the Bureau 's and XXXX itself and after an investigation, XXXX determined I was not responsible for the charges on the account and sent me a letter from their Fraud department to that effect. XXXX said they had notified the Credit Bureau 's to remove the item but after 6 months the item was still there. I contacted XXXX again and asked that they again notify the Credit Bureau 's to remove the item. 6 months later, the item was still on all three Credit Bureau reports.

CBE Group XXXX - Is reporting on my credit for a debt we do not owe. We are on a hardship/financial assistance program with the hospital and ALL my medical debts are included in that. You guys keep putting new collections on my credit report and the hospital has already told me they pulled them back. So I don't know why they keep doing this but I am tired of continuously fighting this with them. You are in clear violation, especially because we contact you every single time you post it on credit .... because, mind you, you never send a notice for me to dispute it, which is also a violation. But I contact them and fight with them every time and the hospital retracts the bills. I have this all worked out with the hospital and this needs to be deleted and they need to stop putting these on my credit! I am contacting my friend XXXX who is the Assistant Attorney General and I am filing complaints with them also.

Before retiring from my Federal Job I neglected to change my email address so that I could update my XXXX account to renew my Auto Pay for 15 months. When I realized that I had over looked changing the email from my work to my home email in the mean time my XXXX Loan was turned over to collections, and not like I did it on purpose I offered to pay the two months and bring the loan current, and I was told that I could n't and they would start off-setting my Social Security and my Retirement pay, plus any other pay I get. So with the Gov. offsetting everything I get I 'm getting calls monthly, weekly, daily from CBE Group Inc to collect on a debt that is already being paid every two weeks, and every month. I have asked them to stop calling because I 'm not paying anymore that is already being taken which turns out to be almost {$500.00} a month in offset. XXXX times more than what the original loan payment was.

This company sent me a letter about an alleged debt that they claim they received from their client XXXX XXXX. I do not have an account with XXXX XXXX and when I closed my account with XXXX XXXX I left with no outstanding bill as far as I can recall. I have not had an account with XXXX XXXX since 2013. I have never done business with this company in the past for no reason whatsoever. When I received notification from this company about the alleged debt, I responded by asking for " Validation of Debt ''. This company has yet to provide me with competent information related to this debt however, they still continue to contact on my personal phone and on my office phone. I also suspect that this company is calling me via phone at my employment, using a private number. Each call I have answered they refuse to disclose the nature of their call when asked. They have now resorted to calling me and hanging up on me.

Heres what happened : I got a letter from CBE Group. They claim I owe XXXX {$230.00}. This letter said, in part : Write to ask for the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor. If you write by XXXX, we must stop collection until we send you that information. On XX/XX/, I completed CBEs online form which allowed me to dispute the debt. I got confirmation that said debt was disputed. Fast forward to XX/XX/XXXX, I got another letter from my pals at CBE. They are now trying to collect on the XXXX debt despite them telling me in their first letter, I have until XX/XX/XXXX to dispute the debt. CBE Group misled me, and as a direct result, my credit will likely be negatively impacted. Im not pleased about this. This feels illegal and creepy. I still have both letters I have received from CBE Group including the letter asserting Ive got until XXXX to dispute the debt.

The CBE Group (XXXX XXXX) contacts me numerous times throughout the day in an attempt to collect a payment that is slightly past due. Approximately every two hours I get a phone call from the same phone number that never leaves a message. The only reason I am aware of who the company is, is because I have made attempts to contact the nunber that calls and hangs up about 5 times a day. I have asked not to be called this frequently as you will get much further by calling once, and leaving a message so I can call back. If I block the number for calling too often they will just call from another number, and use the same repeated tactics. I wish for this company to stop harassing me. Just today I have received three calls already and it is barly XXXX. If thats not bad enough, they have called my parents, and in-laws numerous times even though they have been informed that I can not be reached at those numbers.

CBE has been managing multiple accounts from a Medical provider. They have submitted collection reports to all three credit reporting agencies. They have at no time ever tried to contact me regarding the debt ( Parking ) and have submitted negative reports to XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. After I have disputed the debts XXXX XXXX and XXXX they advised they have removed these from my Credit Report on or around XX/XX/2022. These negative collection reports still show on XXXX and the company continues to refuse to send any itemized statements or validate the debts. They continually park accounts in order to negatively affect my credit score rather than inform me of the debt. I have confirmation from the company stating they have removed the debts from all three reporting agencies but this is not true. This practice is inhibiting my ability to maintain enough credit to secure housing or other means of support.

The gentleman I spoke to had a heavy middle eastern accent and I was telling him that I will make monthly payments starting XXXX XXXX of 2016. I think his name was XXXX or XXXX ... but he told me if I do n't setup automatic withdraws his company will continue to call me. I asked him to repeat his name because I did n't understand ; His reply was that he already said his name in the beginning. That 's the XXXX negative response because I 'm the consumer who is actually trying to take care of this matter ... I do n't deserve that treatment when a company wants me to pay them. I asked for his manager and he never transferred the call to a manager ; he placed another agent or changed his voice because he sounded just like the unprofessional agent.

I originally submitted a dispute because a collection agency kept calling me for an account but would refuse to give me any information because they couldn't verify my full name, SSN, address, and or date of birth. After requesting a Validation of debt letter and not receiving anything in response I submitted a dispute with the CFPB. They finally responded by sending me a bill with another persons name which is similar to mine but not me and a different address that I have never resided at. I contacted the original merchant of debt and was informed that the account the collections agency is trying to charge me for is not affiliated with my full name, nor SSN, nor address, nor date of birth so they weren't sure why the collections agency was trying to charge me for an account that did not belong to me. Once again this is not my account but belongs to a person with a similar enough name.

When visiting my parents yesterday they were calling their house, and they explained to me that it was the fourth time today XXXX was calling to ask for me. My parents have told them multiple times that I do not live there, and can not be reached there so please stop calling. With my last complaint this was all specified and they agreed to stop. They have not. So far today they have called my phone twice, as well as my husbands. If I were to call my parents Im certain they will have called them as well. Something needs to be done because they obviously dont have consequences when they are reported or else they would stop harassing me and my entire family.

I disputed this transaction with my credit union and provided them documentation which showed I should have received a {$40.00} account credit and that I did not owe XXXX the money. The credit union was in favor of me and I did not have to pay. I have now received two letters from two different collection agencies attempting to collect a {$31.00} charge. I have sent two dispute letters back to them. XXXX keeps hiring different collection agencies to try to collect the balance that I do not owe them and that my credit union agrees I do not owe them.

I was contacted several times by a " CBE Group '' but did not answer because I did not know who was calling and no voicemail was left. I eventually answered the phone call and found out it was a debt collect, I then asked them to tell me what debt it was, who I originally owed it to, the amount, the account number, and to send me an itemized bill stating why I owed that amount. I also asked that they no longer called me and would only contact me in writing. They stopped calling and sent a letter. I received the letter and it was dated as the XXXX of XXXX and it did not show an itemized bill on why I owed the debt, but only a statement saying an amount that I owed, which was a lower amount then what they are claiming I owe. I then hired XXXX XXXX to help me verify the debt. They are continuing to call me AGAIN everyday at a late hour ( XXXX ) since the XXXX of XX/XX/2022.

I received a notification for debt settlement in the amount of {$83.00} from CBE Group over a year ago regarding a debt owed to XXXX XXXX. I disputed the debt, sending a written letter within the 30 day period requested. I never received any further letter from CBE validating the debt nor asking for any further information on my behalf. Recently, on XX/XX/2021, a collection report in the amount of {$83.00} showed up on my credit score, thus effecting my overall score. Am I correct that CBE must legally verify debt before taking action on an individuals credit? The debt is not valid and I have not seen any validation of it. I have kept outstanding credit my entire life and have had nearly perfect credit, paying everything on time, so this is extremely concerning and unfair. Please help keep companies like CBE accountable for their legal liabilities and fraudulent actions.

They asked for my name and address and GAVE ME INFORMATION ABOUT THE DEBT ALBEIT did n't disclose they were a debt collections company. Under the FDCPA any debt collector needs to announce " there attempting to collect a debt '' When I let them know the person they were trying to contact was not myself they accused me of lying to them. They are trying to attach a bill that does n't belong to me to my credit report and will not listen. I told them to resolve this matter today or I would file a complaint to consumer protection for harassment. I learned they are a XXXX third party debt collector and do n't have to follow the law. This statement is true fact to the best of my ability. Thanks again, I look forward to hearing from you

The CBE Group is trying to collect a debt from me for the wrong amount for XXXX XXXX. I have asked them to validate the debt by providing me with the contract, detailed bill showing all of the charges because I do not agree with the amount. XXXX a rep there that I have talked to a number of times advised me that they do not have it and that they are not required by law to provide me with this information. I have been asking since XXXX. This bill started out at XXXX and then they sent me a notice for XXXX in XXXX, then this month they sent a notice stating I owe XXXX. The reason for this is because they state they have bought the same bad debt 3 times and charge me 18 % each time. I advised they have had this whole time and that they cant do this and XXXX advise " We can do what we want ''! I only owed them XXXX and I have offered to pay this but they will not except it.

I believe I am a victim of identity theft. Due to the Pandemic, we have been facing a lot of problems in terms of financial, emotional, and physical aspects. Also, I have been hearing a lot of recent news that the Bureaus are having data and system issues. I decided to look at my credit reports from the 3 major credit bureaus and found that this CBE GROUP ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) was reporting to be negative on 3 Credit Bureaus. I have disputed the fraudulent information from my credit report. I have no idea how the theft took place. I also have no knowledge of any suspects. I did not receive any money, goods, or services as a result of identity theft. I have done many attempts to reach out to the Bureaus but they failed to give me any results or feedbacks about this concern. Please investigate and remove it from my personal credit file. Thank you.

The CBE Group , Inc. has continued to call me in an attempt to collect a {$27.00} debt that is not mine. I have instructed them by mail, email and by phone that the debt is not mine, that they are not to try to contact me further and that I have verified with XXXX that the account and debt in question is not in my name or related to me in ay way. I instructed CBE Group to follow up with XXXX and I also copied XXXX on the letter. The last call today came from XXXX ( XXXX GA ). The person from the collection agency refused to give me their name and continued to try to make a collection attempt even after I had told them that I had request in writing that they were not to contact me further to try to collect on a debt that was not mine. I have blocked numerous numbers associated with CBE Group but they then call at least once a day from a similar but different number.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, SC has place a collections account with XXXX XXXX for collections for the amount of {$280.00} from XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX placed this on my credit XX/XX/XXXX. They never notified me. It just showed up on my credit. When I called them the customer service person was rude and did not want to hear what I had to say. This account was closed at the XXXX XXXX store in XX/XX/XXXX when I returned the equipment. I was told I hade no balance due once the equiptment was turned in. I have not heard from XXXX since yet CBE claims they were given the account for collection of {$280.00}. I want this entry off of my XXXX account. If XXXX checks with the XXXX XXXX office they should see that I returned the equiptment in XXXX XXXX. I do not want to hear from the CBE Group and since I did not do business with them they have know right placing an entry on my credit.

On Wednesday XX/XX/19 I was contacted by CBE Financial Group regarding a collection that I inherited. This debt is currently being disputed. When attempting to provide my financial summary and state that I can not afford the amounts they are demanding I pay, a representatives would remind me time and time again that if I do not get an aggreement on file that my pension will be garnished ( 25 % ) and that they did not want that for me. That was not the only time that they would say that to me. Nearly everytime I spoke with them I was reminded of that detail. Lastly, I explained how the debt was incurred by a significant mishap on the institution 's behalf. Nothing mattered. In my opinion this company is NOT professional, and is not following policy by using threatening tactics to scare people. This isn't right and I hope that someone does something about it!

I disputed this with all 3 credit bureaus as well. CBE Group uses XXXX area phone numbers in hoping i will answer. I have blocked 20 different numbers they have called from. The number doesn't identify them as a debt collector or their name. I have received on days 6 calls even after i repeatedly informed them to stop. They just call from different numbers, even Identifying as XXXX, i questioned the rep that but said she didn't know.I They won't tell me why they are calling. I know why, they tell me they can't unless i give address and social security number. I was a victim of identity theft so i won't give my social. Explained to them, they still asked immediatley after

One month later, I received a payment due notification of {$25.00}. I called XXXX billing and a supervisor stated that it was for their mailing labels and that I should have waited. I explained that I was not told this and that all equipment was sent expeditiously and that I do n't feel I should pay. After sending in numerous letters of dispute, I never received a response from XXXX and wrote letters to a collection company seeking a new balance. No response.

I am getting repeated phone calls from CBE Group which I discovered is a collection agency with many complaints against them for harassing people and trying to collect fake debts. The latest phone call just happened on XX/XX/2020 at XXXX XXXX from XXXX which is obviously a " spoofed '' number, they are not located in XXXX Ohio. They won't leave a message, or a phone number, or a contact person. Sometimes it's just heavy breathing on the message. There haven't been any communications in writing so that I would know why they are calling me. I don't owe any bad debts and there are no collection accounts. I checked the three credit bureaus and there aren't any collections. I want these people to stop harassing me. If they had a valid reason to contact me they would have put it in writing instead of scaring me with heavy breathing calls.

After some incorrect accounts were removed from my credit report, I suddenly found another entry from THE CBE GROUP INC-FORMER indicating that I owed {$400.00}. I am puzzled because I have no recollection of any such debt. To clarify the situation, I contacted the only company I had a service with, which had disconnected my line due to poor service, and asked them to provide any statements or records of unpaid bills. However, they claimed they had no information or statements to offer. To my surprise, THE CBE GROUP INC-FORMER has now appeared on my credit report seemingly out of nowhere. I attempted to dispute the entry, insisting that it was an error, but they maintained that the information was accurate, disregarding my explanation of the mistake. I am requesting validation, made pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

This is a XXXX account that was paid. Upon initial service they installed a defective channel box that was not compatible with my broadband internet service. About a week later the technician came out and replaced the defective box with a new one and he took the defective box with him. A couple days later I received a XXXX box with a shipping label. I called them and they told me to send the channel box back to them and I told them I was a new customer. They then billed me for the defective box. I made many attempts to settle the situation with no success. I notified them that they were in default of contract and I terminated service and then sent the remaining channel box and all equipment back to them.

Some of the phone numbers they have called from are : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. They have violated multiple rules, calling before XXXX XXXX, calling from multiple numbers many times on the same day. My phone number is on the do-not-call registry.

I had debt that started in 2015 and I disputed it with company because it was paid. Than I received another debt collection call around the same price. I kept asking CBE company to give me the account number and company and they didn't. I asked if I could call them back and give them my information and they said that was fine, but every time I called they put me on hold and than disconnect or a recording would tell me to call back as their reps. were busy. A few weeks later the amount is on my credit report without trying to pay it or discussing it with that debt collector. If it is the same debt I already paid than that doesn't seem fair. That debt to a company was also from identity debt from a tenant that moved into one of my homes I had leased. I filed a complained, but ended up paying the debt to avoid it on my credit.

At the time, I was employed with XXXX and my intention was to repay the debt through work as it created through advance use of leave. When I transferred to XXXX, MO, I lost my employment with the XXXX due my transfer request being denied. That left me with the afore mentioned debt. I was contacted by the department of treasury regarding the debt and I explained my financial situation to them and they said they would n't pursue collection action. Last week I received a call from a company named CBE and again today. I explained financial situation and my conversation with the Dept of treasury but, they continue call even though my financial situation has n't changed.

Approximately in 2010 received a new cellular phone from XXXX XXXX. The phone did not work at my new residence. I took the phone back to the XXXX store where it was purchased and an employee told me that I could not get out of the contract. I spoke with the manager and he said that he would take care of it. I turned in the phone and thought my obligations with XXXX were done. About a year later I received a collection notice saying that I owed the amount for the phone plus service for additional months. I have received multiple calls over the past 12 years saying that a new company is trying to collect a debt. I have asked them to stop calling. I believe this to be fraud or a manager of XXXX did not do what they said they would do. The most recent call was from CBE group XXXX. I would like this harassment to stop.

I moved around this time and have confirmation letter from the post office. The mail could have crossed in the mail, if CBE Group used standard mail, I wouldn't have gotten it anyway according to post office. Anyway I never received any correspondence or a letter stating that I owed this bill. I don't even know the account number. If I don't know the account number and CBE Group letter or bill, how would I know to even pay. I also printed the hassle free resolution, so you can look at an option to pay. Once again I don't know account number, but it says you can by social security lookup, I am not doing that over the internet.

I have attempted to contact the debt collector via email on multiple occasions, but they do not provide a phone number that I can call from a foreign number. They continue to send messages asking for the money, though. Please help. I feel like 1 ) This debt is heavy given the circumstances, and 2 ) The debt collector has made it nearly impossible for me to communicate with them from abroad so we can agree on a best way forward.

XXXX XXXX took my phone when I switched from XXXX XXXX XXXX as part of promotion. I was owed XXXX dollars in credits for paying off my bill at XXXX XXXX XXXX . My old phones disappeared and XXXX refuses to give me the credits. I have spoke with several supervisors and all say they will take care of it. Now they say they ca n't help me and have sent the bill to collections at cbe group. I tried returning the phones immediately because of unhappy about the credits. They told me to hold on the credits will be applied. When they did n't and I called back they told me I was out of the time frame to return the phones. So I was stuck. The store ran my credit 3 times and nobody will resolve it. Now I owe XXXX dollars for the phones I was given by XXXX because they would n't return the phones

I received a phone call from The CBE Group on XXXX/XXXX/2015 and this collection agency informed that they are collecting for a XXXX account in which I had removed off of all my credit reports to due ID Fraud. I told the collection agent that they are trying to collect on a debt that was created against me without my consent orknowlege. I told this young lady that I have a police report and FTC Affidavit that I have sent this to XXXX directly as well as the XXXX credit bureaus. She said that is impossible basically saying that people tell them all the time that the debt is n't there.s and basically we asked them to prove or pay. I hung up with her stating to check with XXXX because this account is no more and I am not liable for it. I have attached the same police report that was given to XXXX and he FTC Report.

My Credit Report indicates, Im past due for {$90.00} from CBE Group. I have not received any detailed billing under my name for {$90.00}. I need proof that this {$90.00} is legally my bill. I have a right to see proof that Im responsible for such amount. If this is true than why havent I received a billing statement. I have filed a dispute with the Credit Companies and filed a a Fraud Notice because the Credit Companies cant seem to identify what the charge is specifically for. I think its incorrect to mark up someones credit report without proof of charge or negligence in paying. I seriously 100 % doubt this bill is legally mine but I cant provide evidence if I never received an itemized bill. This could be a case of fraud. I have been living at my current residence since XX/XX/2017. Can you please assist?

I have previously received notice that this account was sold to XXXX XXXX for {$170.00} owed. After reaching out to them I was informed that XXXX had reclaimed ownership over the debt. I reached out to XXXX and was told that I owed {$320.00}. When I told the representative that I don't recall that amount they responded that it cost more because of unreturned equipment. I requested debt validation from XXXX and XXXX before the debt was sold again to a new collection agency. The final bill from XXXX reflects {$170.00} including unreturned equipment fees. I believe this proves that XXXX and the current collection agency XXXX be reporting an incorrect amount owed Last bill reflects On XX/XX/2019 Previous Balance {$120.00} Unreturned Equipment {$78.00} Monthly Services ( XXXX ) - {$19.00} Total Due. {$170.00}

At this point i was then contacted on XX/XX/2020 at XXXX Eastern Standard Time and also on XX/XX/2020 at XXXX Eastern Standard Time. There are two violations of the FDCPA the first on XX/XX/2020 and the second on XX/XX/2020. I am willing to not file suit for multiple violations of the FDCPA if the CBE Group agrees to cease and desist all collection activities for this alleged debt as well as the agreement to not sell or hand off the alleged debt to any further debt collection company.

I've never had a XXXX account. I wrote to dispute the debt to no avail. I then called and spoke with one of the representatives at CBE group.

There is a " Derogatory Remark '' on my credit report. It is from a collection agency, CBE Group. From my research on the internet, it appears to be a debt originating with XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is not my account. I haven't had an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX since XXXX. I didn't have an outstanding bill, and it was an account closed 12 years ago. On the credit report is says the account was opened XXXX. I disputed this debt, through XXXX XXXX. I told them this is not my account. I checked my XXXX XXXX report today. Derogatory Remark remains, with the remark : " Account information disputed by consumer, meets FCRA requirements ''. Apparently, that just means that it was verified that CBE bought this account for collection. It is not mine. I want this removed from credit report.

A debt from the department of the treasury was placed on my credit reports when I noticed it I sent in a dispute to the debt. I have attached the 1st debt letter I sent and never got a response back. I have challenged this debt numerous times and haven't received a response. Not only have I challenged the debt but in XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX of 2021 they kept calling me at odd hours. They also kept sending me mail with symbols that I didn't recognize from a third party collector by email and mail. I have email and hardcopy traffic of this correspondence if needed. It says that the highest amount of the debt was around XXXX but they are trying to charge me around XXXX for the debt with ridiculous extra charges.

I did my part and their representative clearly " dropped the ball '' on this. I will attempt to take this back to the XXXX XXXX and get a receipt for them receiving it but any debt collections need to cease. I don't owe them nor have any reason to keep their equipment.

I get two to three robo-calls a day from the CBE Debt Collection Group. When I answer the phone there is no one on the line, just a prerecorded message telling me to call them. I have no one who has claimed that I owe them anything ; I have no one warning me that they are turning a debt over to a debt collector ; I have no outstanding debt ; and I am certain this is a phishing expedition or scam, and I am not going to call the CBE Group to reinforce their manipulative tactics and questionable motives. If they believe the CBE Group believes it has a claim against me they can write me a letter explaining their claim and provide documentation or they can call and talk with me directly, but I will not initiate contact with them. I want their harassing calls to stop.

They are fraudulently reporting inaccurate information. I am demanding that these items are removed. XX/XX/2023 I sent certified letters off, asking the collection agencies to please document that the items are in dispute. I also sent certified letters to all 3 bureaus asking them the same thing.

Faithfully paid every bill from XXXX for years. When I attempted to cancel service I was given the runaround. It took several calls over a period of at least a week and even then they extended service longer. They sent me a final bill that was not owed. I did not live in the home for the month inaccurately billed. My service should have been turned off when I asked and I should never have been billed an additional month. That's why they never got paid. This bill is petty, under {$50.00}. I would have paid it if it were valid. It is not and that's why they never got paid. Many other people have had this same problem with XXXX. I am requesting this invalid debt be deleted and removed from my credit reports immediately. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

CBE Group, on behalf of XXXX. CBE reps hung up on me 2 times, which is extremely unprofessional. The first time, the rep blatantly lied to me and said she would stay on the line until I received e-mail confirmation of the bill I paid. I promptly called back, and a XXXX rep hung up on me while I tried to explain that I have n't received e-mail confirmation. Extremely unprofessional behavior aside, e-mail -- or some type of confirmation -- is important because customers sometimes have no idea if the call is a financial scam. Lies, obfuscation, and rudeness reflect very poorly on CBE Group, and XXXX. With the numerous complaints against CBE Group in the Consumer Complaint Database, why is this company still in business, and or why has it not been fined?

I found the CBE group has multiple reviews showing they have done the same to other people who have taken legal action against the company for falsifying charges onto the credit report. I've contacted them through phone with NO reply and I've dispusted the charges on my account twice and they will not remove the false charges. I will be reporting them to the FTC if nothing on your end is done. This needs to be removed immediately due to I've been looking to buy a house and this unknown false charge is hurting my credit.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was notified via my credit report that {$100.00} was owed. I contacted the original creditor XX/XX/2020 to confirm that my account was in good standing and no amount was past due. I have never received a letter from CBE, a phone call, or any type of notice prior to CBE reporting on my credit. I made multiple attempts to contact CBE by phone and each time I was sent to an answering machine to leave a message. Since I can not get in touch with CBE, I am coming to the CFPB and XXXX to request immediate validation of any amount they are saying I owe. If they can not provide validation I request that this is removed from my credit report as it has a negative effect on not only my credit worthiness but my XXXX XXXX XXXX.

I wrote to XXXX XXXX to get verification of account i have no knowledge of but XXXX XXXX said it was accurate and updated. I have not opened an account of any sort on XX/XX/2022 so i know this information is incorrect. My address is now with this company because XXXX XXXX has you to put it in for your dispute. I have never opened any account or have any knowledge who CBE is to do business with. My report states that they are the original who I started this account with but I have not. XXXX XXXX would not show me the original copies I asked them to produce on XXXX XXXX but XXXX XXXX did say it was accurate, how and I didnt do business with anyone on this date. I like this removed from my credit report it is causing me harm and injury.

I recently noticed a debt collection agency reported that I owe {$230.00}, CBE Group, for XXXX XXXX. I called XXXX XXXX and they took a while and finally said I probably owe them for equipment. I told them that I have equipment ( modem and router ) but since returning it is such a hassle I planned to just pay for it. They never contacted me or sent me a bill for the equipment. They just sent the debt to the CBE Group. They told me that they sent an email back in XXXX. I have no emails from them. They could have sent me mail, called me, or just taken the money from my account since it had been on autopay previously anyways. This is a horrible practice. My credit report has been negatively affected due to their laziness. Please help.

I have been receiving about XXXX calls per day to my cell phone which is registered on both the Kentucky and national no call registries. When I answer the calls there is no one on the line. I have not been given the opportunity to talk with anyone. I have not been contacted by any business or company that I do business with declaring that I owe them anything. I just checked my credit report and there are no negatives on the report. I guard my credit by keeping all debts current. I am never late or delinquent when it comes to making payments. My credit score is always around XXXX. I am totally confident that I owe nothing to anyone and that there can not be a legitimate reason for CBE Group nor any other collector to be calling me.

On or about XX/XX/2023 I received written notice from The CBE Group , Inc. informing me that I have a debt of {$43.00}. The reported debt originated from the Department of Veterrans Affairs. On XX/XX/2023, I contacted The CBE Group , Inc. to dispute this debt. I do not believe this organization will accept my dispute by telephone. This debt is not mine, possibly my deceased father 's who has a similar name, but the debt is not mine. I have dealt with debt collectors in the past who have tried to pass off my father 's debts to me. I am a veteran and do owe the Veterans Affairs but I have been making payments in the amount of {$10.00} per month on a debt of {$260.00} +/- with no difficulty or The VA seeking other arrangments.

I moved out of my old apartment in XXXX 2015 but in XXXX 2015 a co llection company named CBE Group said I owed {$86.00} for my utility bill. I contacted my old apartment manager who emailed me proof of my final payment for rent and utilities. In fact, I was mailed a refund from my initial security deposit and she said I owed nothing. I forwarded a copy of that statement to CBE and for the last two years have considered the matter closed. But in the last month or so, I 've been receiving call after call to ding me for the same debt. I also received a printed bill from them in the mail but returned it with a note demanding that they stop harassing me. I hope you can get CBE Group off my back once and for all.

CBE Group repeatedly sends letters trying to collect a debt that I do not owe. I have requested twice to dispute the debt and for them to cease contacting me as per FDCPA. I have explained that it was a result of a crime and I was assaulted. The police forced me to go to the hospital. I told the hospital I did not want treatment and that it was a concussion. The hospital forced me to sign a release before they would let me leave. I signed the release and walked home in the middle if the night. CBE Group has been given the case, judge, DA, explanation, etc. They even put a negative mark on my credit. When I disputed the negative mark, CBE removed it. Now they are trying a third time to collect. It is NOT my debt.

XXXX XXXX is trying to charge me XXXX dollars for cable internet service I made multiple good faith efforts to disconnect. They refused to attend to my request in a timely manner and continued to bill me and assess late fees. They sent my account to a collection agency : CBE group. I already filed a complaint against XXXX to the FCC and FTC months ago when they tried to bill me and charge late fees. They claimed at the time, in writing, that they were not able to locate my account information and could therefore not act on my complaint. I have receipts and screenshots and phone records showing many attempts to disconnect service. My account number is XXXX I am planning to pursue civil action against XXXX.

I called CBE to let them know that I had no outstanding debt with my utility company and that thi s is the first hearing about it since I moved. They told me they were the third company to receive the collection. Again, this is the first collection attempt I have received and I have not moved since. Not only that, but there is n't anything regarding this " collection '' on my credit report. Not now, not at any point in th e past two an d a half years.

The CBE Group is reporting an erroneous debt on my credit file. I recently checked my credit file and noticed this debt. I called and immediately settled the debt because I no longer wished for this to report on my credit. I was told this would be deleted from my credit immediately after and it would take 30 days for the bureaus to reflect that. However, when I went in after, I noticed that this debt was still reporting. I am aware that CBE Group is able to provide me with a letter stating what they said they would be doing. Also, this is a HIPPA violation. I never signed a HIPPA patient release form allowing CBE to report this confidential information on my credit. It must be removed immediately.

As you will see on the attached documentation, I have requested on 3 occasions the documentation to verify the accuracy of the debt that they are requesting me to pay for. The services were cancelled as of XXXX/XXXX/16. However, the statement received has billing showing XX/XX/2016.-XX/XX/2016. It does not state anything but a prior balance and a statement balance. Requesting to verify a debt means that the debt must be verified with accurate backup details, providing statements is not providing satisfactory documentation. I have escalated this issue to the parent organization, as well as the attorney generals office due to the neglectful actions and response received from the CBE Group thus far.

I received a third party collections notice from CBE Group and I have never owed this company or the alleged creditor Charter Communications any money. CBE Group alleged I owed money from Charter Communications and they bought over the alleged debt. Neither CBE Group or Charter Communications can or has provided me with any form of a written and signed contract from me. I have had my credit stolen before and I am denying any knowledge of this debt. This in my opinion is a false claim to extract money from me and I demand this debt be erased from all credit bureaus. These companies have severely impacted all credit bureaus involving me and I demand it be removed immediately and permanently.

I have had an account on XXXX since XX/XX/2007 and have 100 % positive feedback, not least of which is because I immediately pay all of my bills.

I currently owe a military debt to XXXX. I have already paid XXXX of that debt. I am currently having surgeries. I ca n't not pay at this moment. They call at least 5 times a day. I have decided to stop calling them back and cease all communication at this time as it is hurting my ability to work as well. They want an update at least once every few days on my situation. They are not my attorney or doctor and I do not need to tell them anything. When I would pick up their calls they would never identify themselves until after the notification of the debt. This is not only deceptive but illegal under law. They have also used different types of numbers. Just today alone I was called 6 times.

In XX/XX/2017 I received a notice in the mail about an attempted collection debt from XXXX XXXX. I wrote back stating that I had no knowledge of the account or the debt and I asked for debt validation. I was never sent any proof of the debt actually belonging to me or a response from the collections company. I reached out to XXXX XXXX who let me know they had no knowledge of a debt being owed to them. Ive never had any services with them or the company who previously owned the services. I received an email this morning letting me that a collections account was placed on my credit report. I would like this to be deleted immediately and permanently!!! I have no knowledge of this debt

CBE GROUP is reporting that I opened an account with them in XXXX and defaulted on said account in XXXX and that information is not true. I have never spoken with, been contacted by, or opened any accounts with CBE group. I reported this to XXXX Credit Bureau and after 48 hours they responded saying the account meets FCRA requirements. They didnt do a thorough investigation. CBE group has a negative reputation for this predatory form of extortion. They are destroying my credit. My XXXX score plummeted 85 points from this illegal reporting. From XXXX to XXXX. I have zero late payments on accounts and before they reported this false information, I had zero collection accounts.

The Agent refuses to tell me why they are calling me or what for. The Company want me to give them my Full Social Security number for me to get information. I do not know these people or what want. Plus I do not give out this information to unknown people over the phone. I also do not have any outstanding debt. I'm requesting to know why these people are calling me. If I do not get that information why i'm being called and Harassed. I will be filing a attorney general complaint as well. I feel i'm being harassed.

The debt collection company CBE Group has been attempting to collect on a debt that is not owed by me. While I have received proof that the debt is real, it was opened by another individual with the same first, middle and last name as myself and I am in no way responsible for this debt. I have made the CBE Group aware of this via multiple letters, the most recent on XX/XX/XXXX, and they have refused to provide any evidence that it was myself, and not this other individual, who opened the account yet continue to claim I owe this debt. I have only received copies of XXXX billing statements listing the other individual 's name and home address, with continued demands that I pay.

Submitted a complaint with this agency over a month ago, and the collection company agreed to remove the entry on my credit reports since they had not provided me with ANY debt validation proof or legal documentation that they could in fact collect on this alleged debt. The account was deleted for 5 days and then added back on all of my credit reports, STILL had not provided any debt validation within that time frame! They have reported this collection account not once but twice, without proper validation. This is 2 violations under the FDCPA that can and will be legally pursued unless the offending collection entry is removed immediately from all 3 of my credit reports.

I sent a letter informing them I never received anything from the origianal creditor in reference to this ( alleged debt ). Also I want to know how this collection agency ( CBE Group ) received my personal and private information. I never consent to 3rd parties receiving my personal medial information ( for collection purposes ) I always opt out of this. I believe this is violating HIPPA laws ; by this CBE Group illegally obtaining my personal and private information. Also this collection agency ( CBE Group ) are not the original holders of this debt. I believe the Fair Credit Reporting Act has laws about collection agencies illegally attempting to collect on debts.

XXXX XXXX began billing internet service before a line was run into my home. They agreed that services not provided should not have been billed. They ran a line and I began and continue to pay monthly for services. The amount previously billed was mistakenly sent to collections. CBE GROUP INC has been trying to collect the invalid debt and has now for a second time reported it as delinquent to the credit agencies. I had already disputed once successfully to the credit bureaus and explained the situation the both XXXX and CBE. Last month CBE resubmitted the account as delinquent and in collections. I'm now in the process of having to dispute this a second time.

I ended up having to pay the {$94.00} charge to keep my excellent credit rating which is unfair and a shakedown.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX re : bill, and asked for an invoice/bill, which I did n't receive. Paid debt anyway in hopes it would n't continue to negatively impact my credit. It is still being reported by XXXX credit agency XXXX, and not XXXX. When revieing the record it is still noted as unpaid although there is a XXXX balance.

We are seniors living in retirement and have no debt as our home mortgage paid off many years ago. The company calling is CBE Group as when I called number back a recording gave this business name.

When they call they are badgering, demanding I give them my SSN or other personal info without providing any context to the call, it has only been when I call back that I am able to obtain the name of the company and discern the purpose of the call.

I received a call from the CBE Group. They knew my mailing address and were trying to use this as a basis to collect debt from XXXX. I have never used XXXX as a buyer nor as a seller. They insisted the debt was mine and tried to suggest that someone in my family or another person was impersonating me. I said that was not the case and yet they still insisted I owed the debt. After receiving multiple phone calls from them, I contacted XXXX and they confirmed that no accounts existed associated with my contact information or mailing address, so the debt is clearly not owed by me, but the CBE Group will not stop contacting me.

The CBE Group pursued a debt of {$1000.00} associated with a XXXX XXXX account that has never been associated with me ( I have never entered into any contract with XXXX XXXX ). I received notice initially on XX/XX/2022. I mailed a letter via registered mail ( sent on XX/XX/2022 ) requesting that they provide me with proof that the debt belongs to me or cease attempts to collect. Since then, I have received a letter from XXXX XXXX trying to collect on the same debt ( received XX/XX/2022. Date of the letter specified as XX/XX/2022 ). My understanding is that it is illegal for them to sell debt that is currently disputed.

I provided them all the documents and called and asked them to remove this account because it was not my fault. They said NO - we will update this to Closed.

I am prepared to file a legal suit against them if I have to. I just want the account removed off my credit.

This debt company sent the first coorespondence to me via email at my job and stated they were a debt collector. My work email is not owned by me but instead the company I work for and my assistant opens my email. The embarrashment was overwhelming. When I called and asked why they did n't call my cell or send a letter to my home they stated I gave the email address to verizon so they felt it was okay. By the way, the only reason verizon had my work email is because that is how they confirmed I was eligible for the discount. This practice is not at all right and needs to be addressed as it has caused me embarrasment.

This matter involves credit card debt with XXXX XXXX XXXX which was referred to CBE Group for collections. XXXX XXXX XXXX had my correct address as bills were sent monthly to me. Once this was referred to CBE Group they used an old address where I have not resided for years. When this was sent to the old address it was opened by the occupant at that address who in turned contacted me about the letter, debt and what it was about. This resulted in great embarrassment and mental anguish. There was no reason for this to happen and I believe that corrective actions need to be taken, including fines and damages.

My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am sending this request myself to address the inaccuracies on my Credit Reports.

The XXXX and XXXX Credit Bureaus are reporting inaccurate information on CBE GROUP. Please change the status to Paid or simply " Remove '' the account. These statuses are damaging to my report, which would not be happening if the bureaus investigated properly before posting derogatory information. Per FCRA, reporting must be 100 % accurate.

XXXX XXXX Applied my last payment of {$57.00} paid on X/XX/3017 to someone else 's account resulting in this hitting my credit report dropping my credit score by 29 points. I have contacted them and made it clear that this needs to be removed immediately and the 29 points need to be put back. They stated this could take 7 to 10 days And I 'm in the process of purchasing a brand new home with my husband. When trying to reach out to the credit agency CBE it States that no one is available. This is inexcusable. Not only did I leave a forwarding address but clearly the bill was paid in full.

CBE group of XXXX, TN, has repeatedly called me over the last year and half despite being told to stop. They refuse to identify who they are trying to contact. I have near perfect credit, so they are not looking for me. I told them to stop contacting in spring of last year. The calls stopped for a month or so, then began again.

I have not at any time owed funds to XXXX. Research in XXXX forums reveals this is a common scam for people to receive when no such debt exists, as in my case. Many posts about this particular fishing scam are in the XXXX forums. It would seem that this letter is sent to entice recipients to just pay whatever debt they list in the letter to fraudulently collect on a fraudulent debt.

This agency was contacted XXXX to inquire on alleged debt. Advised that per the fdcpa I wished to exercise my right to dispute tje alleged debt and wished not to be contacted. I sent via priority mail a request for validity which arrived to them on XX/XX/XXXX. I got a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX stating they are ceasing collections just to be told on XX/XX/XXXX oh we are not. My written verbal cease n desist prohibits phone calls, not written communications yet CBE group wants to try and intimidate me. What they sent doesn't validate the debt and is a joke!

XX/XX/20 -I received a phone call from CBE GROUP , stating that I owed a balance of XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ). After information was provided, on a recorded line, I told the representative ( XXXX ) to cease and desist all forms of communication with me.

CBE however, is still reporting the debt on my credit file for something I no longer owe. This is erroneous and all accounts I had with them need to be removed.

I think it is a collection agency that is calling for a medical bill. When I answer they either just hang up or ask me for the last XXXX digits of my Social Security number which I will not give. They will then ask for my birth date which I will not give either. They will not tell me who they are or what company they are from. They are calling both my home number and cell XXXX times daily. That is XXXX times a day. They start at XXXX. They call from several different numbers. They all begin with XXXX XXXX.

CBE Group is attempting to collect a debt that I do not owe. The debt is old and from a place that I worked, my services were free and I have the signed documentation proving it. My old employer actually billed my insurance & got paid and then sent me to collection for the whole amount even though they don't bill employees. They do some shady stuff and this proves it! I do not owe this debt and they were paid by insurance anyways. I am contacting my attorney regarding their practices as well.

When I XXXX CBE Group I see countless reports that it is a scam company so I never answer the call. I always block the number but they just continue to call with a different one. I've never received any notice from anyone stating I owe money. Today I got my first text from them asking me to call.

Im receiving 4+ calls a day from various numbers from the same company. When I answer, there is no one on the other line sometimes for at least a minute and after Ive said hello many times, then I hear a click and someone asks for me. I answered again today and they didnt identify themselves but I said to stop calling me. I called back to see what the recorded message says and it says CBE group. They never leave a voicemail, and continue calling back to back.

CBE Group is attempting to collect on a debt I do not owe. This debt has been paid and should not be on my credit. Also, I never received any notification regarding this debt. No phone calls or letters. I did not know about this debt until I pulled my credit file. This is a violation of my 30 day right to dispute and needs to be removed off of my credit.
