From the Ontario Ministry of Consumer Affairs Web siteThe Collection Agencies Act prohibits collection agencies from doing certain things.The Ontario Ministry of Government Services consulted the collection industry to develop a standard to be followed by all collectors. Having a standard also allows the public to have a better understanding of what collection agencies can and can't do.The regulations forbid collection agencies from:contacting you until six days have passed from sending you written notice of the following: ? the name of the creditor ? the balance owing ? the name of the agency and its authority to demand paymentcontinuing to contact you if you did not receive the notice unless a second copy of the written notice is sent to an address provided by you, and then contact may only be made six days after sending notice;contacting you if you send a registered letter to the agency saying that you dispute the debt and suggest the matter be taken to court;contacting you if you or your lawyer notify the agency by registered mail to communicate only with your lawyer, and you provide the lawyer's name, address and telephone number;contacting you on Sunday, except between the hours of 1 p.m. and 5 p.m., and on a holiday;contacting you other than by ordinary mail more than three times in a seven-day period without your consent, once the agency has actually spoken with you;using threatening, profane, intimidating or coercive language, or using undue, excessive or unreasonable pressure;continuing to contact you if you have told them that you are not the person they are looking for unless they take reasonable precautions to ensure you are that person;giving false or misleading information to any person;recommending to a creditor that a legal action be commenced against you without first sending you notice;contacting your employer except on one occasion to obtain your employment information, unless your employer has guaranteed the debt, the call is in respect of a court order or wage assignment or if you have provided written authorization to contact your employer;contacting your spouse, a member of your family or household, or a relative, neighbour or acquaintance except to obtain your address and telephone number unless the person contacted has guaranteed the debt or you have given permission for the person to be contacted.

i got several calls and vaicemails from them in the past few months (all automated calls, no actual person).today, as i was writing up a report to send in on them, i wanted to verify the number and called it again.this time a lady answered. I asked :"who are you?" she said "Natale Law Firm".I said, "why do you call up people and leave automated messages?"she said: "what number is it that we called which you are asking about?"i said: "you're funny, aren't you?"she said: "well then we'll have to call back when we have your number."i said: "the police might call you first".she said: "that's ok"i said goodbye and hung up.this just goes to show that not only are they a fraud but that they are used to people calling back upset at them and they just calmly ignore you and will continue to call.i was actually surprised that someone answered...has anyone else here ever gotten an answer? maybe try calling today and see if you do too...i sent a complaint to phonebusters but the only real place to complain is the police and i doubt that would do any good if these guys are around since 2005 and are still not shut down. too bad.

some bodya called from this and when I said hello no reply.

do not call this number, any body knows about this number?

if anybody got a chance to know what it is please let me know, because i am getting these kinda massages like everyday. email me @ dude_sexy007 @ yahoo.com

thanks

To represent themselves as a Law Office is a significant breach of, guess what...The Law. So, the Law Society of Ontario should be looking at this and should be subjecting the caller(s) to the usual tests before:1. Asking the phone companies to close their accounts (which I can only hope are in the private name(s) of the individual(s) involved.2. Obtain an order preventing them from carrying out this kind of activity or any phone or internet-related, non-opt-in, attempt to infringe on the privacy of Canadian citizens.3.Cause them to repay any and all communications or other charges incurred by victims of their calling campaign, including regular cell phone charges.4. Should a practicing lawyer have lent his or her name and professional designation to the effort (for example, a collection agency), determine whether the effort is, in any fashion, in breach of Canada's privacy laws.  This would include both the collection and dissemination of information gathered via this or other campaigns and acquired databases.5. If found to be allowable under the law, require this agency to identify itself and provide out-out options and confirmation of same on both its call facility and its website.
