I finally waited on the line to talk to someone, and it was indeed a credit collection agency.  I politely explained that we'd had this number for 3 1/2 years and that the person they were looking for doesn't live here.  (This was last week.)Since then I've received a call from them at least once a day, but when I pick up to remind them to leave me alone, I get automatically put on hold (like before), but then the line disconnects every time before I get routed to someone!

These turd brains make it impossible to get a hold of them.

I get the (778) 329-0347 calls multiple times a day. Mine is a business line that I call forward to my cellphone. I also have my 800 number come to the same line. So I don't know which of my 3 numbers they are calling, but most likely my new number.

There is never anyone there when I answer the calls. Always silence. I have tried calling them back but get led through a massive wild goose chase down an automated menu system.

I have very recently acquired my 2 new business numbers so I know they are after the previous owner of the number. I have not been in business long enough to get a bill, much less become delinquent!

I'm glad I found this site. There is some very useful info here, especially from Rusty and his "Erin Coe on her direct line (604) 661-7902" I called but there was only an answering machine. But today is Saturday, so I will try again Monday.

We shouldn't have to put up with harassment from idiots like this. What ever happened to people personally making a phone call so you can tell the caller what the situation is instead of making it very difficult to reach anyone in person?

I hope CBV Collections burns to the ground. We should all forward CBV Collections name and address to the druggies, telling them that they have millions of dollars of dope stashed in the office. That would make it interesting! Put the morons out of business.

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

Calling no answer

Yeah, I used to work at CBV Collections as a System/Network Admin. That number was used by the Automatic dialler we used, which I helped setup. Law states that you can either block your number (which most people don't answer on), or you have to use a number that you own - but it doesn't necessarily have to be one that you use, or is connnected. As for why you'd get the 'Please stay on the line', it's because a certain amount of agents are allocated on the dialler, and if they're all on in a call, or otherwise occupied, the callee was placed into a queue.
