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.

They are a real company, and yes they are a legit collection agency... HOWEVER, their collection practices are illegal... threatening, harrassing, disclosing confidential information etc...and for this guy Andrew to give you information when it's wasn't you who has the debit is against the Collection Act.  Just make sure you and your sister know your rights!!!

why dont your guys just pay your bills????Looks like you need a support group for people who dont like to repay their debt!!

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!!!

I have had 20+ calls in a week from this number over a traffic ticket I got 10 friggin years ago and PAID in full. Finally got so mad I told them to f off and not call again, got a call back from a Mark Holstin claiming to be a lawyer told him were to go to and no further calls.

i have received a call from them today advising me to call them back to arrange payments or they will take me to small claims court by the end of this month. i'm currently laid off/unemployed...are they really going to take me to court?????

Oh yeah,

I was just doing some searches on youtube and came across this ontario lawyers website - his name is Mark Anthony Silverthorn , very imformative and I suggest you really look through it thoroughly, especially the website.

Q.Is it possible to avoid paying a debt due to the passage of time?

A.It might be possible to avoid paying a consumer debt, but not a debt owed to the government, in circumstances where the relevant limitation period on your debt has expired prior to your creditor commencing a lawsuit against you. Each province in Canada has a limitation period which forces creditors to sue individuals on consumer debts within a certain number of years. As a practical matter, once the limitation period on your consumer debt has expired it is very difficult for a creditor to successfully recover a debt from you unless you pay it voluntarily. Failure to pay a debt will likely have negative consequences for you in the future.

Each province in Canada has a limitation period for consumer debts. Limitation periods are not consistent in each province ranging from two years to six years. It is possible for a consumer to restart the clock on a limitation period by either making a partial payment or making a written acknowledgement of the debt to the creditor or the creditor's collection agent.

Each year collection agencies collect tens of thousands of consumer accounts in circumstances where the relevant limitation period has expired and the consumer is no longer legally responsible to pay the debt. Depending upon the age of your consumer debt and the province you live in it may be illegal for a collection agency to attempt to collect a particular account from you where the limitation period has expired.

If you want to learn more about limitation periods you might want to speak to Mark Silverthorn or buy a copy of this e-book titled A How-to Guide for Dealing with Collection Agencies in Canada .
