The CBE Group is a third-party debt collection agency that collects on delinquent accounts referred to it by creditors, including healthcare providers, government agencies, and telecom/utility companies — it generally doesn’t buy and own the debt itself. If The CBE Group is contacting you, it’s worth requesting debt validation to confirm the amount and that it’s actually authorized to collect on the account before paying anything.
Questions & Answers
Is The CBE Group a legitimate debt collector?
The CBE Group shows up in the CFPB consumer complaint database, which tracks real complaints filed against real companies — so it is a legitimate, registered entity, not a scam name. That doesn't mean every call claiming to be from them is real; scammers impersonate real collectors. Verify what they're collecting before paying anything — see what to do the first time a collector contacts you.

How do I stop The CBE Group from calling me?
Under the FDCPA, you can send The CBE Group a written cease-and-desist letter and they must stop contacting you except to confirm they've received it or to notify you of specific legal action. This doesn't erase the debt — it only stops the calls. See the cease-and-desist letter glossary entry for how to send one.

Is The CBE Group on my credit report?
If The CBE Group is collecting on an account, it can appear on your credit report as a collection tradeline, separate from the original creditor's listing. Check your credit report directly to confirm, and see the credit report dispute guide if anything about the listing looks wrong.
