They link to sites that host images, but they don't host any themselves. What site is hosting your images?
You misunderstand. I'd bet the customer didn't claim to have purchased/licensed the image from Creative Commons. They more likely said that got it from somewhere that claimed it was subject to the Creative Commons license. For example, images on Wikipedia have to be made available under a CC license, and one of the least restrictive licenses at that. What license to use is a decision a content creator or their agent can make. None of the stock agencies use CC license terms, since that would take a lot of control away regarding resale and usage terms. It's possible a customer thought they had licensed your work under CC terms. They're incorrect about that and need to be straightened out.

The Website with my images on links all their images to this creative commons website. I have looked at a few images and non of them are available on that creative commons website, but I can find all the images for sale at stock sites. I suspect the website is just claiming they are all CC images when they are not, I have already emailed them, I will also email CC.org and try and confirm with them too.Thanks for the help
