CBCS illegally took a total of $358.92 electronically from my account on 2/17/2011. How they got my account number is beyond me. I called numerous number trying to contact the company and failed with everyone. I did some research online and found out that CBCS works for Verizon. I called Verizon and got their number. They asked me for an account number... I don't have one.

They had no way of pulling up any information about me. They were extremely rude to me. Trent the first guy would not even transfer me to a supervisor so that I could get more information about this EFT. After threatening with a lawyer I finally was transferred to Maria who was yelling at me to fax my banking statements and my voided checks to them. She also told me that there were pages of people with the same name as me and they probably had charged my account for someone else's debt. I have a hold on my account and my bank is holding all money coming in or going out. I am getting married in 8 weeks and am now out almost $400.

Looking back at my bank statements this is not the first time they have done an EFT on my account. They total $1789.59. They didn't have permission for a single penny.

My next step is to lawyer up and handle this in court.

This company sent me a collection letter for a debt that has been DISCHARGED in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This has been going on for 3 year despite sending validation letters and cease and desist requests. They are reporting this collection on my CR, as both in collections and Discharged which is seriously hurting my credit rating

I get frequent calls on my cell phone and home phone from "Bob Jones" of CBCS. I had a small (less than $100) debt for medical services that apparently got sold to this company. Long story related to moving and mail being sent to the wrong places. Anyway, I paid it in full shortly after I learned that it had been sold. Yet they (CBCS) still call, and call, and call.

I don't know what they think they're going to get out of me. Even if I DID still owe the money, I'd pay it directly to the medical practitioner because I will NEVER give any money to a collections agency, on principle. CBCS, I hope you enjoy wasting your time and resources calling me ten times a week... you'll never get anything other than hung up on. *click*

I have no idea who CBCS corporate is...but I have received bills from them for quite a long time. I of course chuck them in the shredder as there is no identification with them. No explanation of whom or what their bills are related to. I too have received numerous phone calls as well as messages left on my machine from 'Steve' and 'Chad'.

The worst message I received was coming home to find a note on my door from our next door neighbor which read... my name and my husband's name...Steve has been trying to contact you...it is important that you call and then the note had the ph. number. which of course was toll-free.

I called the number...asked for the name and was told he is not in. I was asked my ph. number - I would not give it and followed by saying you obviously already have it.

I then said to give 'steve' a message for me. Told them that I did not know if they are an actual collection company for a debt owed by me to anyone else, but that I was certain their practice of looking up people's neighbors and calling them to leave notes was illegal and that I would consider any further contact from them be it through neighbors, family, friends - to be harassment and would take any steps available to me to get them in court. While telling the person this, he was shouting to me that what they did is perfectly legal and then began demanding to know if I screen my calls as well as cussing at me. The only thing I responded to was when I said yes indeed I screen my calls because of bogus thieves like you.

This month I get a bank statement. There is a charge off of my account to ----CBCS. What do you make of that! How did that happen. I am stuck on what to do.

These guys have been calling me for a month, out of the blue demanding payment for a Bell South account. I did have one on my credit report years ago and paid it off, and still have the letter to prove it. It was held by an entirely different agency at that time, and I can't imagine why BEll South would be forwarding it to them for collections again.

I didn't ask any details because I thought I knew what account they were referring to and I said that it was paid off. They asked me to produce a cashed check from way back, or pay them within 45 days. I take my credit very seriously. I have no way of knowing if they are legit, but there are a lot of accusations on the web, that's for sure. I will mail them a copy of the letter, it has no personal info on it.
