I find I have to wonder about anyone introducing themselves as "not a Loser"....This kind of "collection agent" does not limit itself to legitimate claims. This species will, among other low methods, search memorials and/or death records to find an elderly survivor to hararass for debts long paid or fabricated. Pay them nothing. Ever.

Markham based Accounts Recovery Dept. Collections

We constantly get calls from this number.  It is a collection agency looking for the person who lived in our house more than 7 years ago.  They are doing a reverse look up on the address and calling the house, many, many times trying to get someone.

A collection agency can not go after you after 7 years.  The laws for collection are on line.  If you check the company and find the owner you can call and put a complaint in.  Believe me they will check into it because of the new laws and the fines.  You can also say that this call is being recorded watch how fast they say good by.  There is a number to call if you are being harassed.  No collection agency can call you more than 3 times a week.  You can also ask to speak for the supervisor and tell them that you are not the person they are looking for. Final response to them is that you will be contacting your lawyer, but speaking with someone in authority at the agency is the best way to halt the calls.

You should check the new laws regarding collections first before you do anything.

"I am tired of them, thought of changing my phone number, but thought no. I am not doing that to suit them! "You could, you know, pay off what you owe dumbass?!?Since you know the "LAW" you should also know you need to pay back what you owe for goods and services that someone else is now stuck footing the bill for. Perhaps you are just a hypocrite do***ebag, and these words will never lay to rest in what you call a brain; but if for some reason it reaches you, think about it. Same to all you other sad offs listing your woes in here.

Who do these accounts recovery people think they are? I told them in the Autumn that the people they're looking for changed their phone number. I now have the misfortune to own the number. They said "OK, OK, you only needed to tell us!"

FGS you blithering, hopeless, prats, it's NOT MY JOB to find the people owing the debt, it's YOUR job!

Now they're back again, calling, calling. They are ripping off their clients - so called "collecting debt" -when all they do is make a stream of ineffectual recorded phone calls. Banging off phone calls to a number or an address is not science. It's easy to prove the new owners of phone numbers/addresses are genuine/bona fide and it is absolutely their responsibility to do these chacks. They need to do work to find their targets.

I will go after these people. They are harrassing us for no reason.

And you showed up on this site PURELY by accident?  You were either researching the number because they called you looking for the debt that you didn't pay, if it as cut and dry as "if they call then you owe".  OR you are one of the uneducated collectors that these people hire who completely lack any social skills to get a decent job.  The only thing that works in your favor is your poor attitude towards others and your hostility.  No collecting = no pay for you. Or you are some lonely person that is just ticked at the world and had nothing better to do with your time other than sit on your culo and look for people to harass as making friends isn't quite your forte'.
So which is it?
