I get this number calling like 30 times a day at least and I am NOT in debt at all.

Someone in your family may have a parking ticket not paid or cell bill (my son who has long since moved out). I was getting calls every 15 minutes from this number. THIS IS CLEARLY HARASSMENT. Doing anything like press "1"  as the system asks "If you're this person", the phone just goes dead.  It hangs up if it gets your answering machine.But for now, hit CBV website http://www.cbvcollections.com/ and find their local office number.  Phone it and ask for the Privacy Officer.  In Vancouver contact Erin Coe on her direct line (604) 661-7902. I said I run a private business from my home and that any such calls are disruptive to my business, and are being logged and a bill will be sent to them at $1000 per hour for business disruption.  The calls stopped right away.  As of Sept 30, such calls are subject to a $15,000 fine.  On Sept 30 2008 be sure to register with Canada Do Not Call list 1-+1 866-580-3625 or website www.LNNTE-DNCL.gc.ca

They called at 8:15 AM!Didnt pick it up. I use Shaw so I blocked their number.

There is an easy way to stop unwanted calls, use your advanced call forwarding to forward specific numbers to an unvalid number that is out of service, they should stop calling you within a few days

Keep chair handy by smoke detector. When this # calls, get on chair and hit the "test" button on your Smoke Detector for a few seconds....it WILL start going off. Let it go off a good 5 seconds long then remove your finger from the test button. Should get them to stop calling if u do it EVERY time a few calls in a row.   :)    On that note, a friendly reminder to everyone to put new batteries in your smoke detectorS and test them (like when this collection company phones you again and again!)....could save your home/family sometime.

I found a contact page on their website and left this message:

I have been getting a steady stream of phone calls from your automated service to my telephone number. I am not the person you are looking for, I have had this phone number for years! Your service does nothing except irritate me! Stop it! the number needs to be taken off the list: {xxx-xxx-xxxx}.

BTW: When someone gives you a telephone number, don't you check it out first before blindly entering it into your call-out database? Why would you assume that someone who owes money would give you their real number??? It's not very bright is it? And it's not very responsible either!
