Caller: Steven Walters Law office

Female voice with accent called and left voice message, stating a name that does not exist, and asks to call.

I am getting the exact same messages on my phone saying their a lawyer for Steven Walters

this number is really annoying. Keep claiming that I have a debt that does not exist. Report them to consumer Ontario

I got a call from this number and she told me she was in Cambridge Ontario, and I could either mail or drop off the money to her personally, but I had to do it by the end of the week. I said I would go pay the hospital, and she said I wasn't allowed to do that. I do owe for a ambulance, but it wasn't that long ago that I should be in collections for it.

I received the same message from this number that everyone on this page is getting.The only difference is the lady said her name was Roseanne short from Rose, obviously. I called the number back but they had no idea who I was which is ridiculous considering they called and asked for me. Steven Walters Law Office is who they said they were. Roseanne had an accent and until I read the other comments on here I thought she was saying Steven Holder Law Office.....lol Anyway,she is either a law office or a bill collector you can't say your both unless you state you are a law firm who was asked to handle a case for money you owe a company.

Have you personally dealt with Stephen Walters8 Main Street EastHamilton,OntarioL8N 1E8(905) 296-3537I as I am sure many others to this site would be very interested in hearing how things went at your meeting.Any comments?

According to the fdcpa even law firms attempting to collect debts must prove they have the right to collect the debt. http://www.creditinfocenter.com/rebuild/debt_validation.shtml will help explain. Since these people can't prove they have rights to collect they need to quit calling me.

How long is this going to gone on for!  To date I know 15 people including myself who have been contacted by Stephen Walters Profession Corporation claiming that an outstanding debt is owed for overdue memeberships to Premier Fitness.  Some have been lucky and kept their cancellation notice, I however did not as it has been over 5 years since I cancelled my membership.  I asked this collection agency to send me official documentation, all I received was a letter basically saying what I was told over the phone.  Since I don't have proof that I did cancel and they don't have proof that I didn't I wonder how this would play out in court if it went that far.  There is a definate pattern here with Premier Fitness, will the Better Business Bureau take notice?

After doing a bit of research, I found the website.  It provides no info, but address and phone.http://business-law.biz/Remember, if the firm is acting as a debt collector, they ned to show you 1) proof that they have the debt legally 2) they are licensed to act as a debt collector in Ontario 3) that the person you are speaking to is a licensed debt collector in Ontario.  Once they have sent you all the info, as for all documentation they have on you, you are entitled to that.After that, go through it with a fine toothed comb, and any mistake can potentially negate their claim.http://www.ehow.com/how_4924865_deal-collecti ... l#ixzz14tX0iUbq

Yes it is against the law to say your a lawyer when your not or lead somebody to believe your a lawyer or a law firm when you are not.However despite what the person above had mentioned, this is not a collection agency and is in fact a law office and a registered lawyer. Ignoring the calls will only end up in your being brought to court. Law offices are not required to follow the procedures of a collection agency. If you have any further questions as to who this is or anything else you should contact them directly. I am posting the information below for you to use.Just remember if a law office is contacting you they have good reason to and 99.9% of the time have what they need in order to sue you or they wouldn't bother taking on the case file. The best thing to do is contact them and speak with them and see what you can do to deal with the issue at hand...I think you will be pleased to find out that they are not going to bite you and that as with anyone else are always willing to work with you.Stephen Walters8 Main Street EastHamilton,OntarioL8N 1E8(905) 296-3537
