- T3 Oct 2007Called this evening demanding payment of a 4 year old account with Bell Mobility. Refuses to provide a copy of the bill. I have no outstanding Mobility account for a pay as you go phone as they report I have. I never had a pay as you go account with any cellphone service provider. Wants payment into a trust account via Credit Card or at the bank. Fishy!
- "T" you might check out www.recol.ca antifraud site by RCMP that is the route I am currently taking. Good luck these idiots are relentless and abusive to females.
- They are only relentless to people who fall for their tactics...male or female!
They are on a commission type basis...they get a portion of what is collected. My understanding, depending on how long the debt is outstanding and how the debtor has responded or not, depends on % they can collect. My understanding as high as 50% of debt payoff.
DO NOT answer any of their questions re personal info e.g. are you working, what assets do you have. Non of their business! Take control, ask them to mail you the "registration of company they are respresenting and license". Ask them to mail you their personal registration as it is your understanding that people working for collections agencies need to be a "registered agent" so please mail copy of identification etc. DO NOT answer any questions..why would you answer questions of someone calling you on the phone requesting/demainding information and you really don't know who they are or that they have the legal right to contact you much less demand info from you etc!
Why would you deal with anyone but the company you have a debt with! Make them prove (by your signature on a document) that they have the right to represent the company they are calling on behalf!
Bottom line...if they think they are rattling you or getting to you...they will continue to call/hound you. Once they realize that the potential of getting info or $$ out of you is highly unlikely, they will move onto the next person to try and intimidate them. No value in wasting time on someone who is not going to cave to their tactics! Take control...if you owe money and circumstances don't allow you to pay etc, don't sweat it, take control...if you can't handle their constant calls then don't answer them and sooner or later they will realize they are not able to collect from you and will minimize their contact...nothing in it for them $$! Remember, they are not educated or logical people making these calls..the only job they can get due to lack of education and well, not logical or rational people. People who work at MacDonald's have more sound knowledge and experience than they do! SO, it may take them awhile to catch on so that will mean continued phone calls for at least awhile!

They just called me for somebody else, probably looking to collect on something... but it sure as hell isn't me.
Local # comes up as 905-507-8889. They're in Mississauga - One of the same..7 Jan 2008Looks like the previous bill collectors gave up, so my account has been passed to these jokers. One more year guys then it becomes "Bad Debt" and noncollectable. My guess is that in a few months you'll be willing to take pennies on the dollar to settle this.

- ady2 Aug 2008got a call. Gave a name - sounded like Harris Ahmet. Said it was in my best interest to return his call. I think not. I don't appreciate being threatened by someone who is so vague about what they want or anyone else for that matter.
