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.

Former Employee... first... why are you a "former" employee... if Pomer and Boccia is as great as you are saying why did you leave??? or were you one of the "collectors" harassing the wrong people and got fired??? or maybe its the fact that you can't spell... Sadly... not everyone is as perfect as yourself, and some of us have fallen on hard times... but since you're "perfect", you wouldn't know anything like that.Presently, I've been the victim of harassment from the wonderful Pomer and Boccia, and I'm not the "deadbeat" that has been sent there!!!  oops, but however Pomer and Boccia is perfect (isn't that right former employee???), and they follow the Collection Agent Act to the "T"!!! (we all know that Pomer and Boccia is a law office, with a division of Debt Recovery, which is a registered Collection Agent and must follow the Act like everyone else)   This "perfect" collector that has been harassing me, has divulged every bit of debt the intended person owes, has left horrible rude messages on my voice mail.  Has called back after I've hung up on her, cursing and swearing at me... threatening a whole bunch of BS (WOW all illegal actions, go figure!!!)...What an amazingly Professional company your former employer is... The Ministry was very interested in what I had to tell them when I filed a formal complaint with them.I just hope.... "Former Employee" that your life remains "perfect" and you never fall on hard timesPS.... just to rant a touch more...  Why don't you ask these people why they've fallen behind, and have been sent to a collection agent.... Why don't you ask them what has happened in their lives before you assume that everyone who has debt who can't pay their bills are deadbeats!!!! Really... You make me sick!!!

Called the number last night and did some poking around. Pomer is in Family Law and the other one is real estate law. Where does collections fit into all this???? Penny, where are you??? I want to hear what you have to say about all this...

I read the classified section in the Toronto Star today. July 29/08 There was a job advertised for a credit and collection clerk and to call (416) 637-2600 Ex. 1432 Joanne or Ex. 1435 Joe.  I called to ask the name of company and low and behold it was Palmer and Boccia Professional Corporation.  I Googled the name and came across all these complaints on this page.  I do not want to work for an outfit like this. I hope this is passed along to the authorities.

I am sorry as well Mel. It is fraud when they are misrepresenting themselves to people. They are indeed a collection agency and all of us on here are aware of that. However when they contact you they state that they are calling from a "law firm". I also spoke to someone who was very nice and friendly to me and I had made some arrangements. The next thing I knew this person didn't work there anymore. I was then being accused of not responding to them or their letters. Although I did call. They had no record of the conversations I shared with this "nice" person. That is when they started the legal threats and harassment. I have stopped all communication with this "professional corporation".  Be careful Mel she should have asked you for verification of information so that she knew she was talking to the right person. Also a debt that was 10 years old??  Danny was right in the fact that there is a statute of limitations on things like this.  Everyone, just be careful and look out for yourselves, because no one else will!!!!

This Ms. Lee has been calling me too saying I am being sued by Canadian Tire. I'm currently in a debt settlement program as well. She threatened she will let my employers know about the problem but that didnt rattle me, I'm just worried if they will really take me to court. She caught me offguard and told her about the settlement and she yelled they don't work with settlement agencies. I already informed my service rep and she said this lady is really mean and rude. But she assured me that they will do everything and not to let Ms. Lee stress me out. So I hope that everything will work out well.

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' [***] can kiss my [***]. 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!
