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!

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!

We have been called once and sometimes twice a day from CBV Collections agency for almost 2 months!  If you don't answer, they don't leave a message but they'll continue to call.  If you answer, they are usually looking for someone else.  We have opened a file with the Better Business Bureau and we have talked directly to someone at CBV collections (operations manager).  They said in writing that they removed our name from the list. Not true.  We continue to get the calls.  Either there is NO communication within this company as to who is doing what or there is a scam going on somewhere.  My next step is a lawyer and the media!

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.

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!

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