Just got one too.  After this long you think someone at one of the phone companies would have caught on and disabled the number?  Dumbasses.

I have gotten 2 mails from them claiming i have to pay them or i will go to court to settle something.for a rogers account i dont even owe anything on ,cause i have never had one. i stupidly left my name and a msg to say what the fu....k.I hope i dont get harassed by them with 10 calls a day, that may suck alot lol

they called me too this morning early at 9am, asking for my birthdate to confirm and whether I recieved a brown envelope in the mail. Whether or not i said no. I also have 1-+1 866-988-0885 call me everyday as well as 'unknown numbers' and 'private numbers'. I do owe a cable company just under $1000, and they outsource their deliquent customers after a while. This allows anyone else to set up shop and say they are collecting on their behalf. This has got to stop. I wonder if they will call me on Christmas too?

Upon seeing this other post, I will be reporting them too.
"My mother just got ANOTHER call from these people.  I was livid and called the law firm and gave them s**t.  I have also called CRTC - DO NOT CALL LIST (her number was registered) and reported them 1-+1 866-580-3625,then called PHONEBUSTERS - THEY DEAL WITH FRAUDULENT PHONE CALLS 1-+1 888-495-8501 and will be calling THE LAW SOCIETY OF UPPER CANADA 1-+1 800-668-7380 shortly to report them. PLEASE - anyone who gets calls from these morons report them to ALL 3 instituions. Unfortunately, they have probably ripped off countless people and it needs to stop."

Thanks for the advice

Receive  any bogus legal threats from Global Credit recently? Judy Sgro's daughter up to her old tricks!

http://www.canadian-money-advisor.ca/threadview/457.html

Deanna Natale, the erstwhile Damsel of Distress, Diva of Doom and Queen of Mean at Total Credit Recovery recently had a difference of opinion (involving injuries and lawsuits) with her old almer mater where she enjoyed many felicitous years of gouging the public through litigation and unscrupulous mortgage brokerage practices. She is now plying her trade up the road at Global Credit and Collections located in the Motorola Building at 8133 Warden Ave., Suite 400, Markham, Ont.,Tel. (905) 479-2222 or 1-+1 800-463-4929. Natale's office is just down the hall in suite 405 at (905) 413-8748. Basically, it's just a fancy boiler room operation with lots of security and carded entry. They haven't made too many friends. I wonder why.

You didn't mention whether Global had bought up your account or were just earning a commission on it from someone else. Sometimes collection agencies will buy up large amounts of old and SOL (stats barred) paper for almost nothing on the dollar, send out bluff notices and play the numbers. Surprising, the money that's lined up to buy the stuff.

Last week, I had a guy from New Brunswick send me several emails concerning exactly the same phoney statement of claim from her. Maybe she's sending them out en masse and just working the numbers.

Natale sent him one of those bogus Form 7A's (Statement of Claim in Ontario Small Claims Court) threatening legal action in her jurisdiction of Richmond Hill. (I thought it should have been Newmarket, Ont.) In any event, his line of credit was just over the 6 year mark since the date of last activity on the account - which is the limitation period in NB). Natale wanted $6,000 OR ELSE! It was even more confusing since the address of the bank where the original line of credit loan was taken out and the borrower's address were in the same New Bunswick town. That would mean that any lawsuit would have to be filed there, not in Ontario, irrespective of whether or not the debt had been bought up by Global. These bogus Form 7A's always have a blank red seal in the upper left hand corner and the word "Draft" in the top middle. In this case, I told the guy that Global was SOL because the debt was SOL.

It seems you also are just one more target of Natale's huffing and puffing. Since Natale is using bluffs and threatening lawsuits when, as a lawyer, she knows full well what the provincial laws of jurisdiction and limitation are, then people should send in a formal complaint to the Law Society of Upper Canada keeping copies of all her correspondence with her as submission evidence of professional misconduct.

That's one of the reasons why she and George Krieser at Total Credit Recovery were able to get away with their Five Star Mortgage shenanigans at Total Credit Recovery. We effectively had a collection agency garnering unsuspecting, desperate clients for an in-house mortgage company. Some collectors were getting under the table $3000 monthly bonuses for intimidating debtors to take out second mortgages at egregious rates of 10% to 18% to cover small and marginally delinquent debts without TCR's major bank clients knowing about it. In fact, it was expressly against the banks' instructions. However, they had a way of bypassing their CISCO call manager system that would allow the banks to secretly monitor their collection calls to distressed debtors. In other words, the banks didn't want TCR using their clients as a happy hunting ground for their distressed borrowers thus forcing the banks to needlessly lose interest on the accounts. Unfortunately, TCR was able to clandestinely pull this off and doubtlessly put debtors into an even bigger debt spiral. Wayne Macleod, the current VP at TCR, would call it fiction but other employees there would disagree. Even they couldn't stomach what was going on and left. So you see, unless people know what their rights are and come forward, nothing gets done. Be very, very leery when dealing with this woman - her broom has a sharp handle.

It's very doubtful or absolutely certain (depending on the province you're in and the date of the debt) that once a debt is stats barred, that it can be revived by suckering the person into making a payment and starting the limitation period **** over again as blogger Al Reynolds earlier suggested.

All CRA's (Credit Reporting Agencies) in Canada are only allowed to report a delinquency 6 years from the date of the last activity on the account (which is usually a payment or a written acknowledgement from the debtor [AND NOT THE CREDITOR]. Another Natale bluff.

I keep getting calls every other day from this phone number and they keep leaving messages for "JOHN ALBERT" and asking me or whomever JOHN ALBERT is to call them back at some Natalie Law Firm.  PLEASE STOP CALLING ME!

They have changed tactics now they say one of the law assistants must speak with...then you hear an unintelligble mumble and they leave a phone number for you to call back. Why don't they just give up!! I didn't answer it the first 8 million times why do they think I'm going to answer it now.
