Wish they would stop HARRASSING me!!! They are looking for s

I just want people to know that the Law office of Paul Kupferstein & Associates IS LEGIT! If you get a call from Mr. Hazel, he is a lawyer and what he is telling you is most likely truthful. My situation was that I owed The Cash Store for over a year and after a certain point The Cash Store gives it over to this law firm for them to contact the person owing. I called the Cash Store Head Office to confirm that this law office is the one they deal with and that what he is saying is true and it was all verified. They can sue you and take you to court for 5 x the amount you owe. I JUST went thru this on the weekend and paid my debt off because if I didn’t they would proceed to court. I can’t afford that so I came up with the $1279.45 to pay it. If you are reasonable and not rude to them, then they will be nice back and Mr. Hazel actually gave me advice even tho his client is The Cash Store. Don't EVER give money to anyone other than who it is you owe. If they ask you to deposit the money into a bank account, it is not right, but in my case I was asked to go directly to the Cash Store I borrowed from and pay them directly and I did. It was NOT a scam so check into it when you get a call. Phone the head office of the place where you got the loan or whatever it was you owed money to and ask them to confirm the details of what the law office has told you. Paul Kupferstein is NOT a scammer regardless of what others are saying. In my experience it was LEGIT and verified by the place I owed money to. Take it seriously and investigate what is being told to you and proceed. Proceed cautiously obviously because you don't want to turn a large amount of money over to the wrong person but if you owe the debt, it is most likely NOT A SCAM!!! I don’t know why so many people are saying it is a scam. Maybe there are people out there pretending to be the Law Office of Paul Kupferstein and trying to get you to deposit money into a their bank account, but there really is a legitimate Law office by this name and they represent many different places who are owed money like pay day loan companies. Like I said if you do owe money to a company, contact them first after you get a call from a lawyer and confirm the information is true! You don’t want to end up owing larger amounts of money and have your bank account frozen and wages garnished because that’s what will happen. I sympathize with you. I just dealt with this over the weekend and it’s stressful trying to come up with $1279 in 3 days but I luckily was able to. My e-mail is below of you want to ask me any questions. I hate to see people ignore this or be scammed by a person impersonating this law firm.

tricia.mcquade @ live.ca is my e-mail. If anyone else has questions about their situations I'd be happy to tell you what happened with me and my situation with Paul Kupferstein and Mr. Hazel.
Thanks!!

Jeanie just call the "lawyers office" and tell them you have $500 and try and work with them from there and see what happens ther is no harm in trying especialy if you called the company that you owe and they already refferd you back to them

You picked your profession we didn`t, People just get lured in by these companies that make it sound so great only to find out that its not, all of these hidden service charges, high interest rates and Admin fees, Yes, some people can read and or make sense of agreements while others can`t, so maybe you should know the circumstances before you say the things you say. One of the biggest failure to repay are through payday loans, funny we have a major lack of emloyment and yet  allow people to open business that allow people in financial strain to borrow easy money that eventually won`t be able to pay back. Don`t even say that people shouldn`t borrow then, its like dangling candy in front of a child only money is a need. These companies make it to easy and people get caught up in it until they can`t get out, As for utility, phone cable, there are places that will help, or most besides one that I will not name, give you ample time. Isn`t it funny that a loan place cannot get the money out of someone on small payments but then can afford a lawyer to retrieve it for them in full, sometimes only $100-$300 dollars in dept, and, they want the money in full,haha!, well you can`t get water from a stone, so why give a person a hard time, when they could ask for a smaller payment and get what they want, everyones happy, but no, solicitors want the money in full, even if it took you long to offer payments, they still say no, they want you to pay all legal fees and they expect a person that is struggling (which was why they got the loan or whatever in the first place) to pay a large amount of money in full while making minimum wage in this horrible economy, hello, who are the idiots here! Its not just people that work, people that are on assistance get things too. What if you were working and you were to have an operation, do you think EI would pay you dept,they give you pennies not everyone has benefits offered, not everyone is perfact and not everyone makes excuses, glad to see some have planned thier future circumstances and and financial situations and thankfully not everyone is alike but unfortunately we have cold hearted people out there that have a job to do!!!!

Question for Mr. Collector

I've had someone come back saying they have actually been served with a Plaintiff's Claim from a Payday Loan Company (not "the Law Office). Needless to say they are in a panic.  He has been trying to make payment arrangements and they refuse (all of this is documented). I've told him to file a Defence and request a Court date as he does not have the funds to pay in full (they are suing for 10x more than the original loan amount and they will not even discuss payments). My question to you, in your experience, will a Payday Loan Company actually show up in Court and go in front of a Judge when the fees and interest they are charging are illegal? If so, any idea what the outcome would likely be?  I'm very curious.

i recieved a call last week from a mr.david, letting me know about a law suit and fraud charges if i didnt come up with 3000 dollars by the next day at 11am
i know the amount i know to be under 1000 dollars, when i asked him how come it was so much he threatened to hang up the phone if i was going to be rude with him and that he was trying to help me avoid being charged,
i then talked to some family friends who told me that there is no way that i could be charged with criminal fraud seeing as how i had already made a payment towards it
the next day at 1105 mr david called back and askd why i didnt call him, i then asked him if i was able to pay in trident layers at which point he promptly hung up the phone

I have been dealing with these a**holes today as well. Unfortunately they do represent the cash store and are a third party collection agency....not a law office. I do have a debt that i have been trying to accept clear up over this past year and somehow it ended up being sent to these guys. Cash store told me they will longer accept payments from me and i have to deal with this "Mr. Klauson" d*** head who has been harrasing me with horrible threats. I just wanted to let people know how i am dealing with this. I called the Canadian debt collection solutions number (1-+1 877-913-2008) and spoke with a counselor there who in formed me thdat this "collection agency" cannot follow through with any of these threats and they are helping me. They first are having me fax Paul kooperstien and associates (not sure if this is correct spelling)... telling them that they are to stop calling me and my friends and if they wish to contact me further it will be through writing and nothing else.. They are also sending a letter to the cash store letting them know that i will pay minimum payments of $50 a month until my debt is paid. The counselor told me they have to accept. If they contact me again i can sue them for harassment. My debt was $700 and the counselor also told me that my debt would be basically laughed at by a judge and not to worry because again.... This Mr Klauson is a liar and willsay anything to get my money... It doesnt mean he can do anything other than be an annoyance. Hope this helps!!

All that will become of it is settlements. Lawyers are corrupt, theyAll work for the same thing MONEY.  They will fight each other,Send out accusations.  It would take a class action law suit, withAccumulative evidence, of call after call proving the letigation of law suit,At which point, it could lead to somewhere in court, and most likelyEnd up in settlement only.  But the difference is, it will also have media attentionWhich will put the "law office" in Markham Ontario in perspective, thenThere will be action.  Media exposure helps this greatly and they know it.Such as w5 ctv exclusives as an example.Only then will provincial ministry in charge will act.Its sickening but true, and pk&a will continue to actThe way they have until enforcement has prevailed.
