I too have been harrassed by a collection agency. I know how many times they call, and with me it has been more than 10 times a day. This was back in 2002, when I finally told them to go ahead and take me to court, I had recordings of the calls I also had a log book of when the calls came in. To top that I had my mother, who the collection agent, believeing it was me, fully discussed my information with her. All the while my mother was telling them, my daughter is in hospital, I`m her mother, they did not believe her.
Now in 2006, I have a knock come to the door, it`s my neighbor, he hands me his phone telling me the call is for me. When I get on the phone, the agent, promptly tells me that I owe and he wants it now. I tried asking him where he had gotten this number, and that I do NOT live at this number, and tell him NOT to call this number again. So far we have logged 6 calls, 4 calls the first day, and 2 today. This after he told me he was going to send me the information by mail, so far no mail, only phone calls to my neighbor.
The agent threatened me with going to court, I told him to go ahead, that was what I wanted them to do.
What are my rights in this? I live in Ontario, and need to know asap, so when he calls again I can better deal with him???
