Complaint: 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.

You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying
Complaint: 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.

Debt was paid
Complaint: 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.

Debt is not yours
Complaint: On XX/XX/2019 i received notification via email that there was a collection debt added to my credit report. XXXX XXXX is stating that I woe a bill for a address I never lived at. they are stating that i opened this account on XX/XX/2019. This is impossible because I have had XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account for 2 years and the address they are stating I have never lived there. I have spoken to the original credit multiple times and they keep selling the account to different collection agency under false pretensing. i want this removed from my account because as of today they refuse to send me proof that its my account under my social security number. As of today no one from the company has provided proof of this contract that I signed for a bill that doesn't belong to me. they have messed up my credit because of this

Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged
Complaint: 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.
