They just called saying "You are being contacted on an urgent business matter, please stay on the line". It said it 3 times then hung up.

Someone keeps calling me from this number, all hours of the day.  It says "British Columbia" then the number.  I don't answer calls I don't know, so I haven't answered it.  Telephone solicitors are getting SO bad nowadays...acting like they have "important financial information" for you, then you find out they're trying to sell you a septic tank!

stop calling my number

If you want them to stop harassing you, call their toll-free number:

1-+1 888-311-1121.

You can get a hold of a real person at that number. That's what my husband and I did, and they finally stopped harassing us.

Also: They have many many complaints made against them at the Better Business Bureau. If phoning them has no effect, you could try that route as well.

Thanks for the info, Rusty. I called Erin Coe on her direct line and she has assured me that the calls will stop within 24 hours. Once again, her direct line is (604) 661-7902.

This is a collection agency in Vancouver.  To stop these calls simply do the following:  Call the Privacy Officer of CBV Collections.  In Vancouver contact Erin Coe on her direct line (604) 661-7902. Tell her you want your number removed from their system.  She will ask you for the number being called.  Then she'll ask you if you are such and such and whether you live on a certain street.  In my case both were for a company I've never heard of.She'll then tell you it takes 24 hours for their system to get updated and the calls stop.  Hope this helps you out!
