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!

I am getting calls 2-3 times a week at my work from (780) 328-6135. I know they are calling regarding an OLD Canadian Tire MasterCard from 16yrs ago. Since then I have bought a house/car and good credit. Plus it doesn't even show up on my credit bureau. Honestly I have no intentions of paying them. Does anyone know how to get them to stop calling my work?

Have received a few calls from (780) 328-6135 and also (604) 678-5888. Leaving a message for someone we've never heard of advising that action will be taken if we do not call "Laura" from Contact Resource Services and giving a reference number and alluding to a letter we've never seen nor do we know what this is even about. Weird.  All messages say to call 1.+1 888-771-5803 - I tried calling once but was on hold for awhile so I hung up.

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.

These people will lie about anything,  say that they have bought old your debt, and that you owe them money from 15 or 16 years ago,  and they also mail you saying the same thing,  but every time its a different amount.  don't deal with these people,  they are just lying scum who are after a quick, buck.  Call and report them!!!!!  They use pretend to be Canada post to get your information.  They will tell anyone who answers the phone that you owe them money. and will malign you to anyone that will listen.

I forgot to add, do not pay them a cent, once you do the period in which a company can take you to court or sue starts again, then you're in trouble.
