Has anyone heard of something called the St. Thomas Credit Bureau? Also possibly something on their machine about "First Class Actions" or something like that. They phoned and left a message for me to call back, but I haven't gotten anything other than their machine yet. After having been on this site for years and having gone through bad credit in the past I've been very careful to make sure not to miss anything. It seems a bit sketchy, but on the other hand I'm considering pushing up my yearly online credit score purchase (normally do it in mid-December). Incidentally, I don't live and never have lived in St. Thomas although I am about an hour away. |

Some collection agencies have registered their business as CBV Collection services", which is short for "Credit Bureau Vancouver", as their legal name is, or was. also, "Credit Bureau Collections", also known as "Collectcents". Some businesses in the financial sector create names that are flashy tot heir target markets. Collection agencies create names to attrasct creditors to them, and "credit bureau", "creditor's rights", "credit reporting", etc; are all catchwords that invoke thought - as in to use them for service. It is common commercial culture in advertising. See? "Common Commerical Culture". That one's free, banks.  ------------- Solve Student Debt specializes in solutions for students and graduates in student loan default, and those at risk of defaulting. http://www.solvestudentdebt.com" rel="nofollow - solvestudentdebt.com |

| Thanks. Turned out they were looking for someone else with a similar name but different birth date. Too bad I had to waste half of a break at work and spend long-distance money on my cell phone to find that out (and yes, I blocked my number before calling them!) ... |
