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!

Just like chiron63 and danna, I've received calls from both (778) 329-0347 and (604) 687-4559. I didn't pick up the several times they've been calling but I finally did. Yesterday the 778 329 0347 called me. I wouldn't have guessed it was a Collection Agency though, because they just breathed heavily into the phone, and it creeped me out so I hung up.
Today, I picked up when the 604 687 4559 number called and it sounded like a little kid, and he asked "Is Jonathan there?" ...and.. it was weird. Some collection agency.

Quote:  from Justme - it's a collection agency, deal with your debt!

Retard, who says it's even their debt.

I was receiving calls to my fax machine, every few minutes for the past three days. Fax log doesn't show the number that is calling as it's not a fax machine.. Had to bring in a telephone and hook it to the fax line so that I could *69 the call. Got the number (778) 329-0347 but calls to this number do not even ring. Googled the phone number and found this info. Called their toll free number and got this "bag" on the phone who made me out to be the bad guy. She said they were calling someone I had never heard of. She also said that all I had to do was call them and they would remove that number. When I said I had called that number with no answer she got all uppity about it again and passed me off to a supervisor. He admitted it was THEIR mistake and removed my number for their auto-dialer. I did however still get three more calls but they seem to have stopped now. Thank god!!

I just got the same call, I called them back and they had the wrong name...she's like "Ok im changing it bye."  What a bunch of A-holes...CBV is.

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
