These calls are referred to as "cold calls" in the collection industry and they are usually the last known number that is associated with the debtor to whom they are looking.  This Agency collects for all the major Banks, credit card company etc and they are EXTREMELLY aggressive!  They should identify themselves and advise you of the nature of their calls and when it's confirmed that the party to whom they seek is clearly not at this number - THEN they should POLITELY delete your number!  However, such is not the case, they appear to be quite vindictive regardless that you are not the person they seek and they then add your phone number to their "automated" computer list and it calls everyday with that stupid - We Have An Important Financial... blah, blah, blah-- message.  It's just plan harassment and Telus should be held accountable to clients that abuse the system with this unprofessional conduct.  They should be disconnected and black listed.

LOL deal with it answer say wrg number veriy number and request to have removed or live with the calls
answer seems obvious

how can you block these numbers from calling? they call me 6-8 times a day on my house phone cell phone and work phone...i know i owe money and i pay on time what is asked but come off it...leave me the hell alone...its annoying cause they dont even answer when you pick up the phone....all you hear is breathing and then they hang up...but i dont see how they even know my mobile and work number

Thank you Rusty for the following info:  "In Vancouver contact Erin Coe on her direct line (604) 661-7902"/  I called and had to leave a message and it took a couple of days for Erin to call, but she did and we will  be removed from their list within 24 hours.  This number kept calling our fax number, so I had no way of trying to respond to them.  By the way, Erin was very pleasant and I have to admit that I was not as our fax and phone have been ringing constantly today - all with telemarketer calls!

it really is a miss understanding if your being called, unless you owe someone money :P , just call erin, i found her very polite and i hope by 224 hours, i'll never see the number again

We had these calls coming in 3 times a day at work. I called CBV in Calgary at (403) 543-0500 and they said they were looking for someone that we've never heard of. The girl said they'd take our number off their list, so we'll see.
