they call every morning afternoon and evening - does anyone know who they are?

It is illegal for these debt collectors to call you repeatedly after you have told them that you are not the person they are looking for.

This is regulated by the Ministry of Consumer Services.

I was having problems with a debt collector calling me for a relative's debt and they told me that they would keep bugging me until he called them. The collection company told me last night that there was no possible way to delete the number.  

I simply called the Ministry and the agent called the collection company with me still on the line in a conference call.  They were instructed to remove my phone number and the person said she did.  I am to call back if I receive another call.  

Here is the link to the ministry website with their contact info.

I was also getting what felt like millions of calls from this number and I thought it was some fraudulent telemarketing scam or something - but when I called back (905) 948-3203) it turned out they actually were legitimately calling looking for some deadbeat guy who used to have my phone number before I got my new cellphone account. Now in a way it is still incredibly stupid, because I am a Rogers customer (and it is a Rogers number they were calling) so Rogers should be able to sort that out... but still, it didn't seem to be a scam or anything. They answered when I called, they were polite, they told me the name of the person they were looking for, I told them that the number is incorrect, they promised to remove my number from their call list. Simple as that!

After months of this harassment, hopefully that will be the last I hear from Miss Crawford...

i would like to know how to stop them from calling it is getting to much for me as i am unable to answer my phone all the time and it takes me along time to get to my phone

We got a call from this number and when my husband picked up, an automated voice said they were looking for "xxxx xxxx" (my husband's name). He then got a person on the other end who immediately  asked him for his birthdate and postal code. He said, you have my name, you tell me. She said we have to hear it from you. He asked who was calling, she just said "Global", so he badgered them for more info but would not give them info. No reason for us to have creditors calling so don't know what their game is.

To stop receiving phone calls you have to mail in a letter ( registered mail) to tell them to stop calling you at the home number. Every month you must do this. If they call you at work, it takes one time only for you to tell them to stop calling you at work. You can make a complaint if they should call you again. Legally, they can call you 3x a day. Can't call on Stat Holidays. Every province has a time they start from and finish at. They can't impersonate anyone, they can't speak to anyone but the debtor, they must identify themselves and where they're calling from. I used to work at NCO Financial doing collections for Telus Mobility and Rogers. In all reality guys, there is a cancellation policy regardless of whether you like it or not..its a contractual agreement and its unfortunate that no sales people tell you about that part of the contract. I don't work there anymore obviously because I found it to aggressive. I was one of the nice people that would actually work with you rather than fight with you...Read up on your collection laws in your province and find out what your rights are. (And maybe review the contract you signed as well) The CSR should do a financial statement with you to see what you can work out. Their first demand is always payment in full but did you know you can ask for a settlement amount? that would have to be paid in full. Did you know that if you send them $20.00 a month and make your postdated payments via your bank and provide them with the reference numbers, they'll stop calling. They can't refuse a payment so don't screw up and miss one lolGood luck....just a few helpful hints...
