Attempts to collect debt not owed
Debt collection: Medical debt
Debt was paid
Complaint: 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.

Complaint: On XX/XX/2018 I checked my credit reports and noticed an entry from CBE GROUP. I was never notified by the company and this is a violation of the FCRA.

Attempts to collect debt not owed
Debt collection: Other debt
Debt is not yours
Complaint: 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.

Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed
Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, CBE Group, CREATED a debt in the name of XXXX XXXX for {$170.00} and placed in on my credit report. They are reporting that the " Open Date '' is XX/XX/XXXX. I HAVE NOT OPENED AN ACCOUNT WITH CBE GROUP AT ANY TIME. I HAVE NOT OPENED AN ACCOUNT WITH XXXX XXXX ON XX/XX/XXXX as falsely reported. THIS INFORMATION IS BEING FALSELY REPORTED. In XX/XX/XXXX, I filed a bankruptcy and included XXXX XXXX. There is no account number listed or anything. I do not have any accounts owed to either of these companies for {$170.00}. This reporting resulted in a decline of my credit score by 14 points. I want this account immediately removed from my credit report and CBE Group banned from reporting anything on my credit report.

Attempts to collect debt not owed
Debt collection: Medical debt
Debt is not yours
Complaint: Account # XXXX ( this is 1 of 4 with CBE Group ) Amount XXXX To whom it may concern, On XX/XX/18 I sent out a certified letter to CBE Group Regarding account ( XXXX the supposed amount of XXXX ) to address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX. I requested an original bill baring my signature be provided to me showing that this was my debt.
I only gave them the right to show me this information. Instead they sent me a an alleged statement stating that it was mine divulging personal information violating HIPAA laws. At no time did I request a statement of the procedures that were done. I asked for an original Bill bearing my signature.
I have sent them three certified letters requesting an original Bill bearing my signature and all they send me are these statements that are not even on letterhead or proper billing forms. Additionally, when I sent them the first letter they did not put on my credit reports, I know this because I ran my credit report again on day 31, that this item was disputed within 30 days following the : Fair Credit Reporting Act section 623 ( A ) ( 3 ) or Fair Debt collections Practices Act section 807 [ 15 USC 1692e ] Fair Credit reporting Act Section 609 Fair Credit Billing Act Public Law 93-495 Section 164 ( i ) Law US Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, No. 00- 15946, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX The information that CBE Group is reporting is not 100 % accurate They have several misspellings and incorrect name for me that they claim is my debt and will not correct the errors.
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
