They also contracted to a company in Victoria who does Government Research on Food Banks, they have someone inside passing any relevant information on. Another tactic is to phone pretending to be Microsoft and telling you that there is a problem with your Windows Software, they then try and convince you to give access to your computer and lock it holding it hostage until you pay them. Don't think they use this one anymore though as it is criminal and usually doesn't work, read a few people got stung. More proof linux is better anyway.

I got called from this unknown number many times...this is part of spam and I called back saying voicemail is full.....wasting my time!

Not true.....yes it is illegal for lenders to use debts more than 6 years old against you which is why debts are removed from your credit after a 6 year period. Statute of limitations does not mean debts aren't collectable it simply means that no legal action can be taken against you from that point. The exception to this rule would be if you acknowledge the debt by either sending them some sort of written acknowledgment or more simply by making a payment. If you do this you reset the statute of limitations regardless of how old the debt is.

Second call this week from (780) 328-6135 - automated voice says they are calling from Contact Resource Services and they sent out some mail to me stating that I have a very important offer please call them back right away.  Have been dealing with these scum for years now regarding a debt they say I owe for an item I never purchased from a store I have never purchased from - this is now year 11!!  Have tried every channel to force them to stop contacting me and I am at my wits end.  Anyone have any suggestions... or is it time for legal action??

This letter to "collection agents" stops the harassment:One of your subordinates, who refused to identify herself, telephoned me, saying I owed one of your clients, due to an outstanding debt. She admits you hold the paper which tells me that you bought the alleged debt.  Ergo, the 'client' no longer has proof of claim. If I were to bring said client into a court of competent jurisdiction, they could not bring forth anything but a false claim which is in violation of the Criminal Code of Canada ©  §362.1You have bought a 'bad debt', meaning: one which the alleged creditor cannot prove is valid. That is the reason they sold it to you. I suggest you request a signed statement from your client wherein he swears, under his full, personal, commercial liability, that I, the principal on the account, owe their institution.  I promise, they will refuse you. Accordingly, I couldn't possibly owe your client. Now, you intend to hold me responsible for paying YOUR debt. Yet, your company and I have no contract and, since all law is Contract Law, accordingly, I couldn't possibly owe you, either.Millions of people are quickly learning that the only ammunition that you third-party debt collectors have is intimidation. Threatening that you will apprise the credit reporting agencies of a ?bad debt? is unlawful: it is illegal to report false information and making threats is in violation of §346.1 of CCC©. You have no verified claim. Would you pay someone who, over the telephone, claimed you owed him money? I wouldn?t either. Your only contract is with the original alleged creditor. If you bought a debt, that's too bad, because at that instant, the matter ceased to have anything to do with me. Have you noticed that when you ring me, I am at home and you are at work?  This is because, unlike you, I have learned to live without having to 'slave-labour' for 'money'. It is only a matter of time before everyone catches onto this and you ALL will be looking for honest work and that is only because you still believe you have to 'earn your living' ... and that is due to your refusal to learn how to set-off debt, simply, lawfully, honourably.  "The ultimate ignorance is the rejection of something you know nothing about and refuse to investigate." - Dr. Wayne DyerDo not ring this number again. If you do, I'll apprise the original alleged creditor that I am appointing you as fiduciary debtor and, via your contract with them, YOU will be liable for payment because you are the one HOLDING the obligation. Do not accept legal counsel from attorneys who will tell you this is inaccurate.  They have a vested interest. Subsequent telephone calls will be construed as harassment which is in violation of §372 of CCC©, making you liable for a punishment of 2 years in prison. Additionally, sending unsubstantiated demands for payment via Canada Post constitutes mail fraud under section 381 of CCC©, also punishable by 2 years in prison.Do yourself a favour and read:  How I Clobbered Every Bureaucratic Cash-Confiscatory Agency Known to Man ....
