CBE group Inc reviews and complaints
Harassment
As I am beginning to notice while reading through the pages and pages of reviews on this company, each one more horrible than the next, I am not sure how they have not been shut down.
I had a very similar experience to these other people, I was being called 3 or more times a day, sometimes as many as ten for the past week. They never left a message, so I never answered it. Anyone worth anything leaves a message if they really needed to call.
However, I called the number back to find out what it was, assuming I would get some automated system, which was the case. Got through pretty quick to a representative, and they were looking for someone who is not me, that I do not know. This is ridiculous.
This company should be blacklisted for harassment, I feel bad for the guy who they are actually looking for. Hopefully they do as asked and remove my phone number, or I will be calling again, and will not be as nice the next time.

CBE group is trying to collect a Alltel cell phone bill that I DO NOT OWE. I had settled this last year. My dispute was being billed for something I did not owe. This was even stated by Alltel/Verizon in writing that They had cleared this debt out. I had another agency after that calling about the same thing. Again, I advised the debt had been cleared out. NOW I HAVE THESE Pains calling me and should not. I refuse to talk to them, I am tired of this. I DO NOT OWE THIS BILL!

Worst collection agency group
My daughter sought emergency medical attention 1 year ago. At the time I provided her health insurance information to the physicians group. I have since provided it to CBE group 4 times. For whatever reasons the ###s at the physicians group and CBE group can't submit a bill to an insurance company with the correct information. Three times they typed the account number incorrectly and said the claim was denied. Then they entered the insurance carriers name incorrectly. Lastly they couldn't enter the DOB of the policy holder the correct way. Instead they call me twice a week for 9 months. WHAT IS WRONG WTIH THESE COMPLETE ###S? It's not rocket science to submit an insurance claim. They would rather call me and put me on hold and then repeat their bullship about how the conversation may be recorded...blah, blah, blah. Do your job and stop calling me. Bill the insurance company with the information I gave you 12 months ago.

Harrassment
I first heard from CBE group 3 months ago. At that time, I was advised that a letter would be sent to me along with statements from the credit card company showing when and where my card was used. I had not used that card for about 2 years, and I knew the number had been stolen and used by someone with the company (not CBE, but the credit card company). The letter and statements never arrived, and I received another call about a month later. Again, statements were promised but never arrived, but a letter demanding payement from CBE group did arrive. I answered in writing to them about the use of my credit card number, mailed the letter return receipt requested. About a month later I received the signed return receipt, proving that someone at CBE group received my letter. There has been no response in writing, but the harrassing phone calls have resumed.

Pure ignorance
I like many others have been receiving phone calls 3 times a day for a very long time. This has happened twice with the last phone # I had. After learning that they had the wrong phone # and was asked very politely to please remove my # from their list, the calls continued to come. And now several months later, after changing my phone number, I again am receiving the calls. This time for a different person. I know a lot about the collection laws because I use to be a collector myself. However a very respectful one at that. I never, in all my adult life have ever been treated so disrespectfully. She refused to give me the name of her company and how she came upon my number, because I do know the 9 year old child who lives below me. She refused to answer any of my questions. I went on to try to explain to her about some on the collection laws in the State of MA. She was very rude and arrogant as if nothing could touch her. Well she has quite an eye opener coming to her as I have updated myself on the Laws of today and I have a good case and will be filing a judgment against this company and will prosecute to the full extent the law allows!

There is no option for telling them that they have the wrong number
Does anyone know how to contact this company? I have gone to their website and called several different numbers. They cannot be contacted via e-mail and all I ever get from their customer service numbers are recordings and dead air. I have been getting daily calls for months."This message is for (so and so) if you are not (so and so) hang up now. By continuing to listen to this confidential message you are claiming to be (so and so)"
Then my voicemail cuts them off or I have already hung up. There is no option for telling them that they have the wrong number! I am not the person they are looking for, I wouldn't know the person they are looking for if he slapped me in the face. So, my only option is to hang up. But they just keep on calling.
Please! Can anyone tell me the magic number to dial or the secret code to push during the redording to tell them they have got the wrong flipping person?

I agree with the answer from PSully..
I have found that a Cease & Desist Letter send by certified return reciept mail works, of course you have to be diligent and persistant. Collection companies in general, are bottom feeding-dirt bag debt collection company for several companies orthe IRS. In your letter demand that they stop calling you, and ask for a written verification or validation that you owe any monies. Also, inyour letter tell them the following on you can copy this verbatum, since it has work for me; "This account is incorrect and fraudulent". I refuse to make any payment on any account without legal validation as required by the Fair Debt Collections Act. Therefore, your client (whoever it is) and your offices have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act in several instances. In each instance there can be a $1, 000.00 fine for violating my credit rights in the pursuit in collecting a non-validated debt.For this reason, I hereby instruct you to cease collection of this debt, for the above referenced account (Add any account number that may have been received in a debt collection letter). Further, it is my personal policy not to deal with collection agencies and I will only deal with the original creditor of this account.
You are hereby instructed to cease collection efforts immediately or face further legal sanctions under applicable Federal and State law. I plan to sue you and your company for three violations, if you firm continues this unlawful collections activity.I look forward to your acknowledgement of that you have received this letter.GIVE THIS LETTER THE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION IT DESERVES. Cordially, Then add your full name, or your name that appears on a debt collection letter Make sure & CC: The US. Fair Trade Commission
Send the letter to CBE Group Inc., as above; And once again, Be sure to send your cease and desist letter certified-return reciept mail. The letter should put a stop to their calls immediately. You may have to send at least one other letter, in the next one, get even nastier! Good Luck..PSully
Got the run around when asked to talk to a supervisor
I received a call from "Lisa" with CBE group and she wanted me to verify my address. I told her I wanted to know who CBE group was before I gave out my address, she said until I "verify" my address that she could not tell me anything. I repeatedly told her I was not telling my address until I knew who I was giving it to. She said there was nothing else she could do for me. I called the number back and asked to speak to a supervisor, and I got the run around from the person who answered the phone and said until I told them my address they could not tell me anything else.Finally I got to speak with "Robert" the supervisor who told me the same thing. I again told them I was not giving my address to someone on the phone, that I did not know who they were. He told me I was not "giving" the address because they already had it they just needed to verify it. I stuck to my guns and would not "verify" the address, so the man said there was nothing else he could do. I told him I wasn't asking him to do anything, they asked me.

I Have an unlisted number and they keep phoning me for awhile they did not leave a message they now have 3 times and the person they are trying to reach does not live at my phone number. They call 6 days a week. Hoping to get the phone one of these days with it. Most of the time I'm still asleep when they phone.
They keep calling my company looking for a Jose Arias. I've told them repeatedly this person has never worked here. One more call and it's time to file a complaint with the attorney general. See how they feel about that.
My problem isn't verifying, why do they have to verify address or social every time wouldn't it be easier to just come up with some code word so I don't have to get hassled for an address every time they called. That would make me feel more comfortable talking to you over the phone. Four minutes of you constantly asking for my address than I finally say yes out of irritation is going to get you hung up on after hearing that attempt to collect a debt crap.
Call them back, tell them its the wrong number, they will stop calling. Avoiding it does you or them no good.
The CBE group is handeling a personal business matter of yours. They wouldnt want to call anyone and say "hi this is the CBE group, we are handling a Debt of yours. You have debt, you owe this much money to this person. Now please tell me how upset you would be if you had someone calling you telling you that the CBE group called them and told them you had a debt. They do this for your security
Harassing phone calls
CBE group called my new cell phone number. I called them back only to get an automated response then a human came on the line without identifying himself. After asking what company he works for he mentioned CBE group. I asked what CBE Group is and he was belligerent! I finally got an answer from him on who he the call was for and it was not for me! I asked that he remove my number from their list. If I see the same number on my cell I want to know who or what agency to call to report harassing calls from this company!

@ IcallBS 9 times out of 10 if one company has that as a contact number for that person then other companies also has that as a good number. I'm not going to lie I have had collectors on my back about bills that I owed and when they called me I gave them the wrong number so they could call somebody else instead of me. If someone has the wrong number its because someone gave that number out, companies don't do it to reach somebody else. Do you know if it is the same company calling you after you told them wrong number.
to 'annoyed collector'. [censored]! You do it because you are trying to make sure you have all the information on a person to continue to harass them. If it were anything else, when soemone said 'hey you're calling the wrong number/person; the phone calls would stop but with scam collector companies (which is the vast majority of them), they will just keep calling and playing games. This is why the current credit reporting/collecting debacle in this country is a farce.
Go to your attorney general's website they have a complaint form if people do not stop calling you.
Once they know its a wrong number, they will stop calling What good would it to do for them to keep calling the wrong person?
Fraud alert
I recieved a letter from CBE Group the same day my company did and the letter to my company stated that they have the right to garnishment my pay at 15% of my disposable pay but the amount they told my company that I had to pay was $45, 854.95 and I also received a letter the same day and it stated that I had a balance of $29, 812.99
Way too much...I only have a balance of $12, 545.43
at least as far as the U.S. Department OF EDUCATION tells me.
So why do you want more than 3 times the amount?

Scam
I've been there as well, but what I'm trying to figure out is, who and what are these people, they can be from these EARTH, because it takes certain kind of people to sit at a phone and call people a person and speak to them as if they are not human. Next thing is, How in Gods name do they think they will accomplish anything by there actions. No wonder they...
