This company has called me 5 times within one hour.  I have called Id, the call shows unknown caller.  I  have have call block and I have blocked this number.  The phone just rings busy when they call.
Do not know who they are or why they are calling.

Been getting calls from this number and have been frustrated that they wouldn't just leave a message. Finally answered and they seemed to be looking for someone who probably had my number before me. They apologized for bothering me and mentioned that my number will get removed from the list. Hopefully I don't get anymore calls from now on.

It is a very odd message that they played since it doesn't mention anything about them being a debt collector and the guy I spoke with only said it was looking for someone by name and that was all. A little creepy.

Why do these people always disguise their voice to sound like Stephen Hawkings?

It is a SCAM, they are pretending to be a Debt Collection Agency.  Do not answer the phone.

been getting calls from this number for a bit, never leaves a msg & ive already signed my cell up on the do not call list, wish they would all stop calling

I get 2 phone calls in a row every couple of days from them. No message ever. I called them back just now using *67 and It was Collection Bureau of America.

THANK YOU!! These people have been calling incessantly! It's a good thing I have plenty of shrubberies... (Love the Holy Grail Reference!)

I get several calls from this number every week on my cell phone. It is very annoying and I want to know how to stop it.

This company is called Collection Bureau of America.  They are predators.  They have been calling me (and my sister) trying to collect debts related to my father, who is in a nursing home as a Medicaid beneficiary with progressive dementia.  I contacted Lemberg and Associates and we are suing them for illegal collection activities.  They ran my cell phone out of minutes, and they call my sister day and night.  If more people would sue these jerks, they might stop calling.

The voice message sound like Stephen Hawkings.  Can't think of why he would be calling me.

These people are scanners!! They keep calling me too, I like to use *67 and call and harass them!

Yes, it's the Collection Bureau of America.  They only call you if you have an outstanding debt.

Stephen Hawkings left me a message

Call non stop, never leave a message, and hangup when I am able to answer. Never say who they are.

This is a collection agency.  Collection Bureau of America Hayward California www.paycba.com.  I have had to deal with them and they are extremely rude.  I was even going to pay a small amount on a debt, just to be paying at least SOMETHING and they hung up on me.  So if you have to deal with them, be forewarned, they are extremely rude.  Try to get TrapCall and record any phone conversations with them if you could.

called twice, no message

dos not give a name or a message thy try to get you to call them and you get put on hold for at lest 5 or 10 mints   i think it is a bill collector

This number has called me at least a dozen times saying it has important business for me.  One time there was no message.  Another time it had recorded music.  I have stopped listening to the messages and hang up once I have answered.  I don't want it leaving a message in my voice mail.  How do I get it to stop?

There's debt collector logic for you. Their predictive dialer needs you to drop everything for "important business" yet keeps you guessing as to what that is. Your best response depends on whether CBA has a debt claim with your name on it.

The so-very-urgent matter is that someone can score a commission or bonus if you pay without question during your call. You might owe money, but you don't owe any answers on the phone. In fact, you should only extract them from the reps if you can, and never assume their verbal claims are correct.

If the agency thinks you owe something, be sure to respond on real paper to its federally required dunning letter with a dispute and validation request. Until the agency validates, it cannot make a peep to collect. In case validation is sent, your dispute notice may add a request to limit phone calls to certain hours, days and/or numbers. You can also declare ''all calls are inconvenient''. The agency legally *must* obey. Be certain one ''convenient'' channel is open, such as a postal address, else the agency will be pressured to sue you to collect.

If the account cannot legally be collected, or it's simply not you the agency wants, you're free to send a full ''cease-communication'' notice, cutting off all contact. Indicate which phone numbers and addresses are off-limits. You're not giving away anything the agency can't already know or find.

Send all notices via USPS Certified with return card. This is the method promoted by the FTC and many consumer watchdogs, and the only way to set a legal landmine, as such a notice is ignored at an agency's risk of a lawsuit from you. Pay close attention to all communications and document them well. If those contacts yield legal violations, you may collect *from* the collectors through a judge or arbitrator.

I left it to go to voicemail, but after the usual 8 rings, a ninth ring kept going on. and a tenth, and so on. It just kept ringing for some reason! I counted them out to see what it was. and it counted 46 rings until I pressed ignore on my home phone.
