    Collection Agencies
    Hey there...

    I've had a debt since 2000 and have not paid anything on it due to finanically struggling for several years. For a couple years now, I haven't heard anything from them. Suddenly they are now springing up again, calling me.

    I can't seem to find any information online about the Canadian laws with collection agencies. My rights (other them telling them not to call my home) as how to handle them with asking for validation that I owe "THEM" a debt, what I can do if they have NO validation at all of this debt that I owe them, etc. etc. etc.

    Any one know of any really good reading material about Collection Agencies in Canada?

    Thanks!
