she called my cell and asked abt my add and i told her that she needs to say it so that i can confirm it.She said it doesn't work that way and your credit will be hurt for 6 years and hanged up on me.But when i googled it it seems there is a company.

Kept calling my number asking for someone else, I've told them many many times not to call my number again. Now seeking a lawyer for harassment

I'm supposed to make a payment tomorrow for an outstanding bill that I owed a company last year... Met Credit has been on my [***] about it for a month.... Last week I was told by this guy that I have to pay the full amount immediately!!  After explaining to him that I'm going through a divorce & I'm a single mother with two kids, his response was borrow money from friends or family!!!!!  I'm confused what to do, whether not pay all my rent or go back on my word & pay these guys half for now & other half later or just directly call the company I owe& see if I can pay them & pay off!!!

Never ever ever ever make a single payment as soon as you do then they can harass you to death. After your first 20 bucks then they can continue to harass you for the next 6 years , the collection company only has 6 years from the time the debt has started. If you make a payment they will never leave you alone. Its better if you never speak to them if you accidentally answer just deny them who you are and hang up on them.

Okay sure but what if you're harrassing an innocent party. Someone who got their number changed and getting these calls that is NOT FOR THEM. It becomes harrassment. If they don't answer phone or reply then common sense tells you that you've got the wrong person. If I owed money and didn't want to pay I don't think I would keep the same number allowing you to persistently bug me 40x a week. Just sayin..

Anybody saying this is a legit company is most likely an employee of Metropolitan Credit Adjusters that go on the net to post that garbage.

Just because a company has an address and a telephone line does not make them a legit company.

THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!!

They call you up and try get you to pay some non existent debt.

The standard modus operandi is that they call asking to speak to you or your spouse, they then inform you they are acting on behalf of a credit card/ bank or some lending institution, they will usually not give a name.

They will claim they are handling the debt collection. Since most people have some debt somewhere, this will sucker the mark (you) into thinking you may have some forgotten debt they are trying to recover.

From there they will try get payment, or partial payment in the form of credit card or other means.

Its a common scam, very common out of Montreal, now working well in Toronto. The fraud unit from the police will take a few months to shut them down, they always do, at which point they just change their name and start the scam over again.

SCAM ALERT!

SCAM ALERT!

SCAM ALERT!

This is not a legit collection agency, its just some scammers with telephones.

If they contact you, fish them along, get all the details about how they want you to pay them, even better, record the conversation if you can.

yeah they called me 3 times
but they asking for money
because i didn't pay my bill
and my cell was with telus
so i think not only rogers
it could be from any different company

They called me about a debt that I haven't heard about in over 5 years.  It is a valid debt, and it was for $1700 for a credit card.  They offered me a "deal" on a settlement... $1500....lol.  Which she wanted in full, by tomorrow.  I told her that she was pretty funny. She asked why I was being so rude...lol.  I told her that I couldn't make that payment, and she says that I should borrow it from friends or family.... again I laughed.  When I told her that I could make monthly payments, she said that this was acceptable, but I needed to make the first payment today and call her back by 3 pm...it was 2:30 at the time of the call....bu***hit.  I told her that I couldn't do that either, and she said that I could "do whatever I wanted, but I have your work information."....whatever.  This is why I am only hearing about this 5 YEASR LATER!?  If you coulda did somthing, you would've done it already.Funny how they say they wanna work with you, but then give you a list of demands.  When you tell them that you can't do it that way, they act as if they can scare you with "I'm calling from the legal dept."  You nkow how many times I have heard that in my life (I know, i'm a low life that doesn't pay his bills...whatever you wanna call me), and nothing has ever once been done?!And to the above poster, who I assume works for MCA...Eat A d*ck!
