listen guys CBA is one of the top collection agency's in the country with no legal troubles ever brought against them, weeks of training for each collector about collection laws and a great staff. Stop being losers and pay your debts.

I never received any letters fro Collection Bureau of America in Hayward, CA instead i found it on my credit report, so when I called I said all you had to do was send me a letter to pay and it would of been. I was called a dead beat, a con artist. so I hung up on that person and decided to do payments using Bill pay service and guess what! i never received any confirmation from Collection Bureau of America in Hayward, CA and they are not updating my credit report. to reflect the payments. so i called them back and was told they never received any payments from my bank. But yet I have the confirmation that they not only received it but it was deposited into there account so I decided to Google the FCRA. ( ftc.gov/os/statutes/fcrajump.shtm ) and read my rights and used that to get the item removed. And it was removed from my credit reports J but they did re-add it back to the credit report so I was able to get it removed again. J to this very day the account is paid off with payments (not in full) but they still claim they received nothing.
That what happened to me.

If you have paid on the account then they need to at least reflect the payments made on the account. For willfully and negligently reporting inaccurate information, which both are violations of the FCRA (total of 6 violations so far) I would suggest filing complaints with the Federal Trade Commission and your state Attorney General's office. If you need/want to file suit for this you can. I would estimate at this point statutory damages to be between $3,000-$6,000.

Buffalo Billed

my wife had a bill in 2005 with att paid in full for less than amount to a collection agency. now in 2008 CBA must have bought the debt (already paid??) and sent a notice to pay a totally different amount for that account. These guys obviously don't know what the hell is going on. I got a copy of my wife's credit report, on which the crazy new bill appears from these goons, and i called att. I spoke for about an hour with a nice lady who gave me some precious information such as a match of the account number that these guys are trying to collect, which shows as paid in full according to the credit report. I was advised to have CBA talk to CCA (Collection Company of America), but they said "We don't talk to other collection companies (because they smell funny and they look like dorks)". So i am going to call CCA and get proof of payment and send it to CBA and hopefully they will clear the matter up beofre some other moron sends us a third bill.

TJ, are you for real? have you not seen the posts in this thread? The people getting hounded for bills that either never existed or were already paid off long ago? Comcast bills, when Comcast itself says "we dont ever use that collection agency"?? Mind you--the comcast bills were NOT resold--at least one of them was for a current comcast customer!

But hey, just keep on dreaming. Maybe if you repeat to yourself how great these scam artists are, you will actually start to believe it. But no one else here will.

I started working for them and I know what goes on. They are a very honest company and they collect for clients who turn their accts that are past due to them to collect on. This is normal people. Pay your bills and you won't have calls from them. I know the laws. I am viced in Business Law and in the FTCPA. I am sorry that you cannot pay your bills on time.

"I am viced in Business Law and in the FTCPA"

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH don't you mean versed but since the company is a scammer then "VICED" would be appropriate.

From Meriam-Webster Dictionary: Vice; moral depravity or corruption

While this is all funny making fun of the troll we need to remain on topic. Otherwise the thread degenerates and ends up getting locked. That is just what these trolls are trying to do. Don't let them have the upper hand. Just ignore them, they may not go away but ignore them and let the moderators delete them.

Today I received an automated call claiming I owe over $500 to Comcast. I called CBA and was told this is from 2006. It is now 2008. Comcast has never told me of a problem and is still my current provider. So I called Comcast and was told that they show no problem and my account is current and has been for the past 4 years. Called back CBA and they claim the debt was "verified" through their automated box(?). What does that mean? I asked for the name of their contact person at Comcast and they don't know. Could any of you that work for Credit Bureau of America explain how this happened?
