Also known as (905) 413-8725
This agency has been harrassing me for the past 2 months. My home phone rings long distance with that above number and at the same time my cell phone is ringing the same number. When I call back they automatically call me by name and ask for my reference #. I  do owe some money (not a lot) but have a made an agreement with a certain company to  repay *X* amount of dollars. It was the Natalie Law office. They rattled off their address but I forgot to  ask who I make the cheques payable to. They lady or Lawyer was absolutely nasty  with me, wanted to know what I spend my money on, asked if I can  take out a loan to repay this amount because the amount  that was agreed apon but someone from their office the week prior was not good enough now! She so conveniently hung up on me. When I called back I was directed to her voice mail and did not get a call back. I have just received these court papers  thru the mail with a red seal that says DRAFT on it.
I am now so angered that the  don't hesitate to harrass me  which I understand they are paid for being nasty but I truly wish  some on these  people never end up in a spot where they cannot pay for something, due to unfortunate happenings, either loss of employment, dissability or even in my situation my employment changed and I make less than half of what I made 2 yrs ago. I am a single mom raising two children to the best of my abilities and have let a  few things slide. I made the choose of keeping the roof over my head and food on my table and clothes on my childrens backs.  I do not live frivilously (sp) by any means.  I am very happy to have searched  this Law office on the web here and have read many  *not so nice things * about it and  now I  think I may just  rip up the cheques I have written here! I do intend to payback the little I owe , my problem  started when I couldn't do the minimum payments and then the Minimum became way to much to even attempt. My own fault again.
Anyways...Thanks for  listening.
Oh and by the way. They also call and it does not ring long distance and the caller id says *Unknown caller * with either a recorded message or a ruthless nasty person on the other end

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.htmlDeanna 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.

They call me once a week, saying they're from a law office. They say that Rogers sent my bill to their collections office. I told them "Oh yeah? How do I know this is not a scam? Do u think I'm just going to give out my credit card number to pay my bill?" And the guy said "Write down this number, call Rogers and confirm that this is true. I will call u again tomorrow".He never called back!

Hi again,I havent heard from them in awhile and thought nothing more about it. Til just now they decide to call me. I call them back and get no answer. If it is a legal law office you figure they would have people maning the phones and actually have a real person leave a message on the machine instead of a computer. It seems really fishy to me.I think if it has to do with a legal matter and they can not get a hold of me they would have sent a letter in the mail by now.
