We would like to look at the California company trying to collect on 900 calls Utahns may receive threatening phone calls from a bill collector wanting money for unpaid calls to 900-numb- er sex lines, reports the Better Business Bureau. Two Utahns one an elderly woman told the Bureau that Collections, Procurements and Acquisitions (CPA) of Chatsworth, California, demanded money for calls the consumers never made. Scott Johnson, a student at Brigham YoungUniversity, told the BBB a CPA representative threatened to ruin his credit record if he did not immediately pay $32. Scott was told he made a call to a sex line from his phone number in December 1994. There was no way my wife or I made that call, we have only had this phone number since July 1995, Scott said. Scott consulted his attorneys and on the following day convinced CPA to stop tryingto collect money from him. Do not give in if a collector tries to force you into paying a debt you do not owe, Bill Beale, BBA of Utah president sad, Under the fair Debt Collection Practices Act, consumers have the right to demand proof they owe a debt before sending any money to a collector, he said. Beadle said CPA has an unsatisfacotry record with the Cypress, California BBB. The Cypress Bureau became aware of the company in October 1995 and has since received eight complaints. The complaints allege CPA tries to collect debts not owed, fails to provide proof of debts, and engages in harassment. Before collecting any debts in Utah, collection agencies must register their company name and post a $ 10,000 bond with the state. CPA is not registered in Utah. Utahns who have complaints against unfair collection practices can send a written complaint to tbe BBB of Utah, 1588 S'.
