rosejenifar,
I have no idea what your message means or why it's relevant to the discussion. can you explain?

.

Well, yes, by gosh I do. Have you ever heard of judo. I haven't seen too many cases where it's necessary (actually only one), but Lady Deanna certainly qualifies as another one. What goes around, comes around.

I must add that it's becoming irksome having to explain the painfully obvious.

By the way, she might have ANI (automatic number identification) technology on her phones through Global. At least her old alma mater, Total Credit Recovery does.

Currently I'm receiving autodialer spam on my work-issued cellphone from someone at the "Natale Law Offices", looking for someone who I've never heard of. From the comments here and elseI assume that they've got an old phone number and are trying to "collect" a debt.

Each and every time the originating phone number is different (looks like they're trying to avoid people avoiding them via caller ID) and the scripted lines have been more agressive and threatening recently. The call frequency has gone up recently and I'm getting tired of it, particularly because the calls always seem to be in the middle of meetings and are starting to disrupt business.

Based upon comments in this thread and elsewhere, I suspect that if I call back to complain that they've got a wrong number they'll not believe me and that'll just give them another target (either my work number or my home number). Short of requesting a change of cell phone number and passing along this headache to the next person to get it, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you all for the great feed back. I am glad I found this site.

The TCR branch I am dealing with is in Toronto, Ontario.
If someone has other suggestions that they don't want to post, then please email them to me.

CANADIAN HALL OF FAME FIGHTS BAD MEDIA IMAGE

We all know that collectors get a lot of bad press, what with people comparing them to collection agencies living off the financially sick and dying. However, we need to be fair and balanced in our reporting. We all know that they serve (at least in a Darwinian or even Hitlerian sense) a useful function in the cycle of nature. So as not to ruffle their feathers any more than necessary, let's also give them their due.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UGLY ANIMAL- NO WAY!

The collection agency's bald head is one feature that appears revolting to many people, but it is a brilliant physiological property that allows the creature to plunge into all sorts of carcasses, and come out clean. Without feathers to serve as a habitat for all the bacteria that infests their meals, collection agencies soar through their lives disease-free. After eating, collection agencies can often be seen perched in the heat of the sun. Here, whatever has managed to cling to the few bits of fuzz on their head will be baked off once and for all.
Many of the behavioral traits of the collection agency have brought it considerable (and unfair) attention as an unsanitary creature. However, each habit of the collection agency is an adaptation, evolved to help it survive under the conditions in which it lives. First of all, a diet of dead and decaying flesh would turn our stomachs inside out. But think of how our landscape would look without the help of the collection agency. Serving as nature's janitors, these wonderful birds fly about, stomaching the most revolting of cuisine, and ridding our ecosystem of maggots and disease-carrying viruses in the process. With 100 times the botulism of a human, the stomach of a collection agency can digest meat in advanced stages of decay, a favor to every other creature in the world.

Hey Raymond,
I am going to be sending out a press release to the media regarding Deanna Natale law office .

I'm wondering if you could email me some of your facts on what she's done.

I'll be fact checking today with the RCMP, BBB, Law Society of Ontario, (Law Society of Upper Canada), etc etc.

I want to get my facts straight before sending out this press release.

The gist of the press release will be to notify the media and the public of bogus demand letters by a law firm in Ontario.

Any facts you and anybody else can give will appreciated.
Thanks to you, this story is going to go public.

Thanks for Kit Bossert as well for her work,
And thanks to everybody else who's posted about Deanna Natale and whom I haven't mentioned.

This should be the first of press releases that we'll be doing at Canadian Money Advisor!!

DAILY JOURNAL, March 28, 2007 edition:

BULL MARKET FOR CARRION FORECAST TO CONTINUE

Toronto Sun predicts the bull market for human carrion to continue indefinitely. "Fastastic news," says Wayne Macleod of Total Credit Recovery, who has certainly managed to devour a lion's share of human victuals himself. "Yes, this report certainly has me and my fellow collection agents" cawed a satiated and ecstatic Macleod.

The cause of all this felicity was a new economic report by the CCPA (Canadian Center for Policy Alternatives) that showed, that while unemployment may be the lowest in 30 years, the median wage for the last 23 years hasn't budged much. In fact, when adjusted for inflation and expressed in 2001 dollars, the change between 1981 and 2004 has only been from $15.16 to $15.33.

The median should not be confused with the mean or average income. The former represents the 50% (or middle mark) of the population who earn that much or less. So, while aggregate wealth and earnings have increased with GDP, the distribution of that wealth has been skewed higher and higher toward the top percentiles. Fortunately, for us birds, the new minimum wage increase of $10 per hour should, paradoxically, make the pickings for us scavengers even better, as it's never failed to exacaebate the gap in the past. With inflation steadily wearing away at real earning power, more people using food banks, more people getting sick trying to work two jobs to keep up and getting stretched to the limit, we should continue to have a real bonanza.

Canada?s growing gap at new 30-year high
Majority of families working harder, less payoff
March 1, 2007 | National Office | Topic(s): Employment & labour, Inequality & poverty | Publication Type: Press Release | Research Desk: Inequality Project

TORONTO ? Canadian families are putting in more work time, yet most ? 80% of them ? are getting a smaller share of Canada?s growing economy, says a study by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA).

The study finds Canada?s income gap between the rich and poor is growing, largely because the lion?s share of Canada?s economic growth is going to the richest 10% of families. It?s not going to the majority, the 80% of families earning under a $100,000.

?Canada?s gap is growing at a time when Canadian families are playing by all the rules ? working harder, contributing to a growing economy ? but most aren?t getting payback,? says study author Armine Yalnizyan, research fellow with the CCPA.

The study, The Rich and the Rest of Us: The Changing Face of Canada?s Growing Gap, looks at the earnings and after-tax incomes of Canadian families raising children under 18, comparing families in the late 1970s and those in the early 2000s. The study finds:

Canada?s income gap is growing: In 2004, the richest 10% of families earned 82 times more than the poorest 10% ? almost triple the ratio of 1976, when they earned 31 times more. In after-tax terms the gap is at a 30-year high.
Bottom half shut out: Between 1976-79 the bottom half earned 27% of total earnings. Between 2001-04 that dropped to 20.5%, though they worked more. Up to 80% of families lost ground or stayed put compared to the previous generation, in both earnings and after-tax terms. The poorest saw real incomes drop.
Work is not enough: All but the richest 10% of families are working more weeks and hours in the paid workforce (200 hours more on average since 1996) yet only the richest 10% saw a significant increase in their earnings ? 30%.

"Wayne Macleod, VP of TCR visits here?" Well, more like B-2 stealth bomber runs and sniper missions than "visits" actually.

I must apolgize for the inordinate attention directed at Natale, TCR and iQor, Inc formerly CBCL - Canadian Bonded Credit Limited - Now Iqor Collection Agency , when there are so many other deservingly abysmal worthy of attention like, PMS, ARO (especially, the Kelowna Office), CBV (any branch), Nordon, MJR, Collectcorp, Allied, AAA, Pomer&Boccia, TCH Alliance One, etc, etc, ad infinitum, ad nauseum. If I've missed any of you, it's not because I don't hold you in enough contempt (rest assured that I do), but simply because, logistically speaking, there are so many of you and only one of me to go around. Don't lose faith; I will eventually get to you and give you the attention you so richly deserve.
