If you're from NS, it might honestly be someone from my Montreal office calling, as we handle most of the Maritimes' accounts.... I can manually remove the number if you want... won't get you the same satisfaction as harassing that stupid agent, but it's kind of a good solution I reckon. ^.-

Just toss me the phone number they are attempting to reach, or name, or heck even the name of the Agent calling you and I'll do my best. :)

collection agencies are only allowed to call you once a day, depending on the province you live in

if you send them a registered letter stating not to contact you only contact by written, they have to stop of they can be fined by Consumer Affairs

or do what i am doing, they are calling my phone number for someone who isn't even here, but they keep calling, so everytime they call me me and my friends call them back 50 or more times, with the same thing said...

How does it feel when someone says "NO THAT PERSON IS NOT HERE YOU GOT THE WRONG NUMBER"

they just hang up, so we keep calling back.

each time they call me, I will keep calling them back, think we called them like 80 times today.

Now they know how it feels when someone says you have the wrong number....

I even have recorded messages of me telling them they have the wrong number, no one by that name here, and sent it to the CRTC and BBB and Consumer Affairs.... these rag heads think they can do what they want and don't have to abide by the "FAIR COLLECTIONS ACT" of Canada

Or costa.antonucci@iqor.com

The "commercial" is simply the @ symbol ('a' commercial)

Anybody have Costanza's email address? He gave it to me as:

costa.antonucci@commercialiqor.com

over the phone... but that keeps bouncing back as "DNS error, domain not found".

The Supervisor for Collections for Student Loans is Costanzo Antonucci, and the Manager is Hacene Taleb. They should able to answer all those questions, and possibly come to an arrangement.

I will try to remember to get their direct phone lnes tommorow, and/or the Ombudsman number in case the abovementionned men cannot fully enlighten you.

Also, if you wish, contact me by email at: klirsyt@hotmail.com
I should be able to look for the exact file and get back to you with as much information as I can to shed some light on the situation, without "interacting" with it, therefore not creating "activity".

Hope it helps.

Iqor and my Student loan

Postby overdidit » Wed Apr 14, 2010 07:04:49 AM

Hello one and all,
I have a big Quebec outstanding student load of approx. +30k. The loan was taken out in the mid 90's. I have since then paid back some of the loan on an on and off basis depending on my financial situation. The last payment I made must of been early 2000 or so. I had health issues around that period and my finances have been a disaster since .

About 6 months ago, out of the blue, IQOR called and left a msg. Well, after reading up about them on the internet and not having funds to give, I still haven't called them back. Now, of course, they call several times a day which is annoying.

I checked my credit and it hasn't been affected in any way since this all started half a year ago. Is this because I haven't spoken to them?

I have been a resident of BC for the past few years and since I incurred this debt in Quebec, can IQOR come after me? Is this why there is no report on my Equifax credit? Or do IQOR deal only with TransUnion?

And, if so, can they somehow take my house which is in both my wife's and my name...

Any chance of this debt getting written off somehow?(deadbeat question but I had to ask)

I have very little to no means of being able to make payments right now.
Will they take whatever I offer and have to be content with this until I can do better?

I'm married and can a collection agency come after my wife somehow?

Last but not least, will they perhaps come to an agreement on a payment of 10-20 or whatever cents on the dollar payment in one lump sum?

I realize that some of you will give me flak for asking some of these questions but sometimes not only does life force one to do things they are not proud of but the left curves come too quickly one after the other...

I have heard that student loans have a very high rate of defaulting in Canada and do they fall in a different class vis-a-vis collection agencies...are there some hard numbers I can find somewhere?
