Keep calling a harassing me about a debt with MDG which I don’t know anything about

thanks apreciate the message being burnt twice by these scumbags garbage equipment ... with extras i never gave permission to ..

I got an email from Michelle Smit from Stephen Walters Professional Corporation, the address that she provided me leads to a BMA Management Consultants, same address and suite number but different phone numbers.

Turns out Stephen Walters Professional Corporation is also under contract or whatever to MDG computers. Got a computer from MDG 7 years ago and it died 12 days before the warranty was up and they wouldn't repair it. Literally refused to look at it, lied about the manufacturer warranty as well with ACER. ACER said the system was sold to MDG 1 year prior to them selling it to me and their warranty was up 30 days after I bought it. Now I have this moron Claude Nourian who is the Collection Manager at Stephen Walters Professional Corporation emailing me trying to sound like a lawyer. I told him to stick it up his [***] and to take me to court. If the courts sided with him I'd be happy to pay. He stresses that he wants to settle out of court, I told him the only thing I would be settling out of court are my nuts on his face because he's getting nothing but nut. Anyways, watch this company, and watch out for MDG computers, you will sign the devils contract.

just spoke to the police informed them of the situation called steve walters law office got list of peaple's extensions her name was not there will be calling steve walters office in the morning to confirm she does not work there  the police have  told me to call back after I affirm she is not apart of the law firm and they will send a officer out to take my complaint and they can handle it from there the police told me that what I plan on doing was reasonable and to call them back don't let this happen to you

In reply to your question Cmac,no, I havent heard from this so called Maffia Stephen Walters Law office yet. Over a month ago I got their registered letter saying I had 5 days to pay up. My lawyer suggested he should send them a letter....so as of this date May 5th 2010 have heard nothing!!!!  About a month ago I had gone online to Equafax.. I think thats the name to check my credit rating to ensure nothing had gone on...and not a thing. I have now recieved a monthly email from Equafax to confirm nothing new or bad has been added. I thought I would still get the phone calls but nothing, not after their Claim letter to me.  Cmac, I was worried sick about this sitution, I am 52 and have a great credit rating and never have been harrased like this in my life. I have a friend who told me his son had the same problem, similar to mine, and similar to yours...and all the others on here. I had recieve a call from Ontario Consumer Protection Board and she told me that Premier Fitness is on their Consumer Beware List...of companies..and they wanted a followup on my report as they recommended me to take my complaint to the Law Society of Upper Canada. I truely beleive they are some collection  agency... and relying on their intimidation tacticts on good people like ourselves to cave in and send them  money.  To the person who previously commented on having her wages garnished...I say she deserved that. No one can garnish your wages, unless there is a court order...and in Canada we all have the right to go to court and state our cases. If a judge looked at the evidence.... it would seem this person had not attended the court nor defended her rights...her fault.  In this case vs  Preimer Fitness...they have no way of winning with me.  I could turn around, and charge them with not sending me a contract renewal notice, and taking a year and a half membership fees from a non- member at the fault of their own.My advise, is be cautiously optimistic. You need to answer this woman once, either leave a message like I did...telling her to stop it...then state to her, as per the rules regulating collection Agencys to send you a letter...tell her to Register it...( I like that..it makes them pay something lol)  Then when you get her letter..either reply, in FIRM  and not so polite wording to take a hike.  Then wait. I bet.. you will not hear a thing!Hey keep me updated...I would love to hear how you faired!  I can be reached at celery2 @ hotmail.comCrissyA

so i just got a call at work from Michelle Smit of "Steven Walters Law Firm" also.  same old bs, says i owe money to Premier, threatened legal action and to ruin my credit rating, blah blah blah.  

for those of you who have experienced something like this, please visit the ctv.ca forum (google search "premier fitness ctv" and it should be the first link. there is some good information there from a poster named "seekingjustice" to help all of us who are potentially being scammed by these a-holes.

I just began having the same problem. I got a threatening latter for the first time in 2 years after canceling more then 2 years ago to pay then $23 or they will take it to a collections agency.

If I don't pay will the collections agency come after me for $20? Will my credit be ruined?

Thanks,
Mario

since my last post I have received yet another call from "michelle".I refused to answer the call and her voicemail stated that she had not recieved my payment via mail and had a deadline for the 27th and the day she called is the 26th.I was never provided a forwarding mail address to send a payment in the first place!! I have  been in touch with the bradford exchange and they had acknowledged that they had put forth my account to 2 different collection agencies. One I have received formal letters from requesting payment and clearly stating the client they represent and the amount and that I could forward payment to themselves or be in contact with the client. The other however, is another story. The bradford exchange had provided me with a name of "Inter Canada Credit" and a phone number of 1-+1 888-738-7277. When I tried to call this so called reputable collections company I was connected with a REWARDS CENTER????? I tried the # again and the same thing. I then contacted the bradford exchange once again to confirm the # and it was in fact the one they had listed. The only other information they could give me was an email address and a mailing address of 875 main ST westHamilton Ontario L8R 4R1During my conversation with the rep from the bradford exchange I was assured that I could always make payment with them, which was stated by Michelle that I could not. I then went online to look up this "Inter Canada Credit" and saw this plain website that my 10 year old could manufacture with that same 800 number. As I read through some of there pages I found this and I quote"There is no such thing as a mailing queue in our office. Every single file will receive attention from a recovery officer, and every debtor will be contacted by telephone if they can be located.We believe letters and written notice should supplement our staff, not the opposite." Which could potentially explain why no previous correspondance and the direct call from her.So I went to the pages of paying my debt and the payment requests were by credit card and western union, or a money order could be sent to an address similar to that the bradford exchange company had provided but with a slightly different postal code.????????hmmmm. Still having my hackles up I have phoned and paid the Bradford Exchange directly and I am not sure what to make of this "michelle" if she is the real thing or not and how the Stephen Walters law office and Inter Canada Credit are potentially linked.I do however know that should she contact me again she will be in for a very rude and abrupt fouled language conversation.
