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.

it is a collection agency....they keep calling and asking for someone who previously had my number...it stopped for about a month, but has now started again, costing me minutes on my phone....and when you call back, ur on hold forever, then either it hangs up or you get the infamous Ms. Sampson, who I believe does not actually exist...and she says they can't remove the number from their autodialer until Rogers tells them to do it...so in the meantime it costs me money....I asked for her address so I can forward a bill to them for the cost of the calls..the response? she hangs up!

(905) 948-3203 these f***ing idiots call me on my cell phone 3X a day. when we pick it up they keep asking for "William"I said them that F*** off but still they r idiots

what are they faxing you?

These guys have been calling me twice a day "with an important message" . This is an automated message. They ask for Hernandez Rodriguez and say "if you are that person, press any key for an important mesasage". If you press a key, out of kindness to tell them you are not him, you are told to "hold for an operator". What a stupid way to do business. They eat up my cell time while I wait, because there is no option to tell them I'm not Mr. Rodriguez. If you hang up they keep calling back. I finally tracked them down to Global Credit & Collection Inc.,in Markam, Ontario. After three tries (2 hang-ups) I finally got throught o them and the receptionist said they would delete the number. HOWEVER, this same things happended a year ago and they asked for the same person then. After doing the same dance for a few weeks, I was told the same thing. They seem to have resurrected the file and the harrassment.

they keep calling every one its crap and it better stop
