Don't let these peckerheads intimidate you. They use threatening calls to try to get money out of people. I just tell them to piss off. I know for a fact I dont own anything since Im not in debt. They can take up there plausible cause with the business end of my expensive shotgun :). Good day.

Not true I was quite nice till she started getting rude and literally. Screaming at me and the person she was looking for doesn't even reside at this number

This number (905) 663-1440 just called me and I did not pick up. Upon retrieving my message, it's a lady that claims I need to call her back about my house. I have no idea what she wants. She did not even mention where she is calling from or who she is. Very unprofessional and awkward for someone to just mention your address.

Exactly!  I lost my job and deadbeat Dad of kid took off leaving me no income, no child support. I owe some money, and the people who have been polite on the phone and treated me with some measure of respect are the ones I've communicated with so far and have worked out a plan. But these rude 'lawyer' a***oles can kiss my a**. I've demanded they send me documents as I will not speak to someone who can't communicate in a civil, non bullying manner. And after googling the phone# and reading all these posts I simply won't deal with them at all unless it's in writting. How can these people feel good about themselves at the end of the day after treating people so badly for 7 or 8 hours straight!

This is a completely legitimate law firm (legal professional corporation) that has a collection agency as a separate department. Just google them! The people calling you are not lawyers, nor do they ever say they are. But they are working within a law firm. They are not scammers, and what they are doing is perfectly legal.  Remember that any creditor or properly designated collection agency can sue you (in Small Claims Court if the amount is under $25k). The paperwork is ridiculously simple to fill out, you certainly don't need to be a lawyer to do it. Some agencies will, some won't... they will all have a dollar value threshold and it will also depend on various other factors.   (Whether they think you have assets or employment income, the time elapsed, the documentation of the debt they have, how busy they are...).  I defaulted on 2 payday loans in the $500 range. I ignored the first one and got taken to Small Claims. I ended up paying the whole amount plus about $250 in court costs. So when P&B contacted me about the other one, I made them a settlement offer and settled for slightly less than they asked for. Would they have bothered to sue for $500?  Who knows. Could they? In my particular case, sure they could have, if they wanted to. I wasn't about to call their bluff.

Hi NancyThey CANNOT threaten you in anyway shape or form.  They are a Registered Collection Agency and have to follow the Collection Agency Act.  See Link Below.http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/elaws_statutes_90c14_e.htmAlso, if you feel you are being harrassed by them, here's the Ministry of Consumer Services website and they tell you what your rights are... I've just filed a complaint with them regarding Pomer and Bocciahttp://www.sse.gov.on.ca/mcs/en/Pages/Persona ... ncy_Rights.aspxHope this helps you out!!!

Don't ignore the calls. They will put a hold on your bank account after they receive a judgment in court.  Also, don't trust that c***sucker Jerry Gauley or whatever his name is.  He said on the phone that he would call the bank in the morning and take the hold off because we came to an agreement.  He said he wouldn't return any money already taken.  What he neglected to mention was that he was going to wait for two days and then clear out every last penny.  It wasn't what he had already taken, it was what he was going to take.  He ignored my calls and took my rent money.  How is a person supposed to live up to obligations when there is no money.  Yes, I owe the money.  Yes, I intend to pay.  No, I will never trust that do***e bag, motherf***er, c***sucking son of a bi*** again.

Just received a letter and a call from these people and read previous postings and am concerned that this may be fraudulent as well. Will call them back and get the information and call the law society. Also, if they are a collection agency than they also need to provide their collection agents license number and you can file a complaint with the consumers affairs of Ontario.

You better make sure you absolutely don't owe any money anywhere.  Order a credit report on yourself, assuming you have a credit card to get one.  If you don't owe money, don't worry about it.  If you do, make sure you don't ignore anything that gets mailed to you.  My friend owed CT $$ and I don't know if it was these guys that went after her, but some law firm/collections agency got a judgement against her & they garnished her wages for like 16 months.  It was nuts.   Just sayin.
