I've only had two calls from them, but I have a very low tolerance for organisations like this. Tried calling back but was disconnected after being on hold for about a minute. I'm happy to do anything I can to get these people in trouble for these practices.

Calls cell repeatedly. Informed that person they called for no longer had number. Finally blocked them with a blocking app that allows me to file an FTC complaint. Am now in process of having them sued. Use this company : Lifetime Debt Solutions @ 312-380-6110. No charge and you might even get some reimbursement.

I got into an argument with a man who kept calling me from this number. He did ask if this was me. And he had the right name. However, when i inquired as to what he was asking about, he only kept saying I owed to "his client". First he said "his client" was a FEMALE doctor in an ER in 2009 ( I was not in the ER at any point in 2009) THEN he said his client was a MALE doctor. He would NOT tell me the name of said "client". He then got very rude, and almost yelling at me when I called him out on the gender of his "client". I believe this is a scam. I told him to remove me from his calling list and send me a letter if this was legitimate. I have yet to receive any letter, and am still getting calls. But now from a woman.
They call me all the time, 7 times in 3 days. I called them back at 800-348-3304 and got Meagan. Even tho I blocked my number, she knew it was me, so the number I called back, told her my phone number. I told her they were looking for Auturo Nunez and I had no idea who he was or where he was. I got this number less than a feew months ago. I gave her my name and my address and she said she would remove my phone number right then. I hope she keeps her word. God made sheep, sheep dogs and wolves. I am a sheep dog, I screw with the wolves.

When we answer the phone we get a recording that says they are a debt collector. Call them back at 800 number that is said so fast can't write down. We don't have any outstanding debts.

This DIRT BAG BOTTOM FEEDER DEBT COLLECTOR called on my wife's cell phone... They left NO MESSAGE and we do not answer any calls that we do not know who they are from.
We have not had the cell phone number that long, and have had alot of such calls. Some are looking for some one that we do not know and who has never lived at our address. We suspect that they are looking for the previous owner of the phone number.

2/12/2012 - Received call on cell phone from 319-242-7344; a male asked for Jeff. Since I know no Jeffs, I said no one here by that name. He said OK and hung up. Searched and found that CBE Group is a collection company in Iowa that has several phone numbers sequential to this one.
Two hours later I received a phone call from 800-568-0399 that I did not answer; they left no message. Found that this is United Recovery Systems, also a debt collector. No way to know if connected, but likely they are looking for the same Jeff.

A 9.50/hr debt collection agent called. They called me and I have a similar name to the one of the person they are looking for, but they have the wrong person with similar name.
Naturally, I was very angry: dinner time and my number is a private number. I asked to speak with their manager, who happened to be a SHELDON. Their website http://www.cbegroup.com states to be treated ethically with respect and he is a cocky individual. When I learned he was not the manager, I complained that I do not talk with subordinates and that I must speak with his manager. Then he gave me their manager's name, CODY ENGEL. Know your rights:
If they call you, you are under NO obligation to VOLUNTEER information.
Furthermore, you CAN request they FAX you information to verify who they are.
If they do not, you can tell them you will file your FIRST complaint.
Call back the number that called you. If they still have you in their computer system, they did NOT remove your number. This can constitute a complaint and later a fine you can collect from.
Call 515-226-0218 and Chrissy Peterson will answer the call.
Explain that their other office has not removed your number from their records, and that by speaking to her, this is the second complaint.
Wendy Harris or Kim Patrick are the higher ups in this company.
Hope this information helps to stop harrassing and unidentified phone calls.
Get smart in dealing with these debt collectors. Know your rights. NEVER ADMIT ANYTHING OVER THE PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. When they first call they must send you a written notice within 5 days of what debt they are trying to collect.
2. If you receive the letter, immediately (you have 30 days) write (send letter certified) and do 2 things--ask for validation of the debt and tell them to stop calling--they MUST stop calling or it is a suable harassment offense.
3. Remember-if you send ANY money to the debt collector you have admitted that you owe the money to the debt collector and reset the clock on the Statue of Limitations.
Get a copy of the federal law and learn your rights.

filed a complaint at the FCC and I suggest everyone else does as well. Follow the link:

I also called back at 1-800-348-3304 to notify them of their "spoofing" caller ID numbers.
A man named Lynn answered and denied they do that, then acknowleged that "that's the way they decide to do business" only after I proved to him that the "spoofed" 319 number above is tied to CBE Group. I told him nicely it's illegal and that many people out there are going to file complaints with the FCC. He said, "Sorry you feel that way." I told him it's not feeling, it's fact.

Rude caller encountered from this number. Was forcing me to pay some debt I don't personally owe, it's my sister's responsibility and this collector wants me to settle it for her. This is illegal. I'm thinking of hiring a lawyer.

I don't owe them anything as far as I know. They keep calling the house. Left a couple of messages asking me to call back to avoid legal action against me. This is ridiculous. These people are bogus, scam artists.

Debt collector calls all hours of the day leaving a message for a guy I've never heard of. When I call them back all I get is a recording saying it's the CBE Group.

They have recently been calling me. How do they get your number? I have no debt whatsoever. These people are terrible. You do feel better messing with them though. Or just block them. A message is never left and really If it is important then there is no problem leaving a message.
