Unable to contact the company
Complaint Rating: 93 % with 67 votes
I recently got a copy of my credit report and to my surprise i have a collection on there for $500! For the past 5 days I have been trying to get in contact with this company, based out of TX, and all I get is a recording telling me that they are experiencing high volumes of calls and to call back later!!! What kind of crap is that. It has been 5 days and nothing! I am just a little pissed!

I actually took care of my obligation directly with Time Warner Cable/Comcast Cable in Dallas, TX; however, I have been receiving these same kind of annoying e-mail from Credit Protection Association and would also like to say that I, too, have been unable to reach anyone regarding this matter from CPA. This kind of harassment should not be allowed to take place.

My bill has been paid in full for 4 months now. Charter Cable has supposedly contacted CPA to tell them to stop billing me. I cannot locate any number to reach them on except for a pay by phone number. How do you make these freaks stop??

I have been experiencing the exact same thing! It is also impossible to find any info on the internet about them.

Does anyone know if it shows up on your credit report when Blockbuster sends your account to CPA?

I have to agree, I have been trying to contact them also. Guess they don't want my money! I finally got a person at 1-800-800-6499. It might be better to take care of the issue with the actually company that sent it there, and then dispute it with the 3 major credit agencies.

I spent over a week trying to get in touch with these guys. Michelle's number that she provided got me in touch with a representative and I was able to pay over the phone TODAY! There was a $7 charge but I didn't care at this point. I did pass on to the rep how hard it was to contact them and I shouldn't have to get the number off of a complaint site. You can call them at 1-800-800-6499. Pass it on if need be. They claim they will report to all three agencies at the end of the day but it may take awhile for the agencies to update.

I used to work for CPA about a year back, and the main problem they have is volume of cases. They deal in small debt high quantity. The best thing to do is to put your case in dispute status, this buys you time before they report to the bureaus, then keep doing this until you're ready to pay it. You can't really get away with not paying your debt, even if you don't owe it it's so much hassle that most people end up paying it anyway. The only way you will get your dispute heard and reversed (most of the time) is if the original creditor (Blockbuster, Time Warner, Comcast, etc.) deems it so, and you have to do a lot of fighting and a lot of holding on the phone for that. The fact of the matter is, most people aren't willing to got to those lengths for such a small debt and would rather just get it out of their hair. So in conclusion, if you've already contacted CPA and are not gaining ground, I believe the best thing to do, if you're not going to pay, is to contact the original creditor. The conversation with them will tell you if your case is going anywhere, if they don't care for your case nor will CPA, if they do and are willing to work with you or realize you do not owe the debt, they will relay that to CPA. CPA answers to these companies, they are only 3rd party collectors and any change on your account more than likely has to be authorized by the original creditor. The number that has been given here (1-800-800-6499) is probably your best bet at getting to a live person. I, Francisco Nuño, do not represent CPA in any which way or form. The opinions I've expressed here are solely mine and in no fashion represent the opinions of Credit Protection Association LP. In other words, this is not an attack against CPA, this is just friendly advice to people in need.

OK guys, I just got my report from EQ. Is it them that shows up as CRED PROTECTIONS ASSOC? That's all it says and I have no idea who these people are or what I did not pay. It is like 100 dollars. I would have paid it. Anyway, I was just wondering if this is the company y'all are talking about. Thanks for your help.

Insight Communications tried to bill me for a cable box that I returned through CPA. All the numbers I tried for CPA never got me through to a real person. It took about 4 months of dealing with Insight solely. I ended up calling about every other day for a week or so, and the following week they found the box and cleared the bill. I haven't checked to see if it is on my credit rating yet. If it is, I am going to be super pissed!

Credit Protections Association is on my credit report showing that I owe Comcast $106 as of February 2006. The funny this is, I paid that bill in January 2006!! I have called Comcast numerous times and they told me that the situation would be resolved. They lied. As of Nov. 2007, That bill still shows up on my credit report under collections. Can anyone tell me what I can do? Is there a number for CPA? I am beyond angry about this negative report on my credit. Help!

Thanks to the people who posted on here with the number. 1-800-800-6499. I couldn't find it for the life of me. It is a scary proposition, these companies which hold so much power over the nature of our ability to be considered for credit make it so difficult and have the obvious intention of making themselves hard to find. Really makes you question what the motives for their business is. Good luck and keep your hands on your wallets at all times!

I was billed by Comcast for an amount that I did not owe and it was literally impossible to straighten this out with them. I have since filled bankruptcy and the collection effort stopped until a few days ago when I received a threat to my credit from Credit Protection Association. My response was to notify them of the discharged bankruptcy by mail and email. Waiting to see if the will disregard the law on this matter.

Yeah, this is all totally insane. Comcast says I owe them $600. and send me bills and now notices from CPA. When I call, they say i have no balance on my account! So, in response to the letter from CPA I sent Comcast a threatening letter. They finally called and sent a tech guy over to pick up some box they say I have (hence the charge.) The tech guy said I have no such box! Now, trying telling that to Comcast! They say I still owe them. Thanks to the advice above (the 800 number) I actually have better luck with CPA than with comcast. I am interested in a class action suit, or whatever. This is total harassment. Who has time for this BS? I don't... Sorry to sound so upset, but i am.

Just for your information, I was going through the same problem, and an extensive internet search came up with this phone # for Credit Protection Association LP. (972)233-9614. This puts you directly in touch with a person at the company and they are very polite about handling any problem that you may have. Just make sure that you press 3 on the options to talk to the operator.

I just received a complaint from this organization and it's also from a Texas address. It's based on an apparent attempt from Blockbuster video to collect $23 from me.

The issue is that blockbuster hasn't even attempted to collect this from me. Based on this board it sounds like i should speak to someone at Blockbuster in person and also send a dispute letter to this organization via mail in order to buymore time.

File a complaint against Credit Protection Assoc. and Comcast.

My Story
They put 2 accounts on my credit report that they say were opened at other addresses on 11/16/2007. Both are for $150. I have beenin the same place for 3 years and my comcast bill is current. So 2 months ago I opened 2 accounts at 2 different addresses from the one I reside at and I'm already in collections? Yeah OK. BS!! Called CPA and they said it was from 2002 and 2003. So why report them as opened in 2007?

I have disputed 3 times with the credit bureas and each time it is removed as innacurate. Then a week later guess what appears again? Every time. CPA and comcast were both listed in my CH 7 that was discharged 3/2007. It was an account my ex opened in my name and never paid. Just listed them as creditors and no account number as I did not have one. So any debt prior to my filing would be discharged.

I have been trying to contact Credit Protection Assoc. for months, I can not get thru so I contacted Time Warner Cable, they advised me that I could pay my bill with them and they would contact CPA for me. That was over a month ago, I still can not get in touch with CPA, so I disputed this account on my credit report, but they say that I still owe the money. Please anyone tell me how to get this off my credit!
