They're trying to scare people into paying.


I had the call come in, a big bank with a case number, they gave me a number and thanked them and told me I was going to call the number on the banks website since I've never dealt with them. The person on the other side at that point got blustery, basically accusing me of being fraudulent.


So I told him to package up all the information on this file that he had and send it by mail, and I would forward it to my lawyer, I would also require all of his information, including employee number, exact extension and name of the direct supervisor because I would make sure he was named in any legal action that I decided to pursue if this was fraudulent.


I also informed him that if he tried to call again before I got the information that I would forward all of this information to the RCMP.


I haven't received a call again, nor a package of information.


The best thing is if they give you the name of the bank or company that you owe money to that you inform them that you are going to call the main number on their directory website with your case number.


If you have a debt that you owe money on that's gone to "Collections"it will usually show up on your credit report, so I have a membership to equifax so I can get up to date information if I need it and use their resolution service if it comes down to it.
