I love hearing these stories with the folks that participate with our discussion forums.

Thanks so much for your help and advice. I contacted the Consumer Protection Branch, and a wonderfully helpful woman advised me that CBCL is past the statue of limitations which is 6 years. So when I got a call from CBCL today and told them what I had found out Desiree was speechless and immediately transferred me to her supervisor. I guess they really hate it when people educate themselves! So I left a message on his machine and told them to not bother trying to contact me again!

Although we don't discourage people paying their bills, we do encourage people to take control when dealing with collection agents.

This person has done just that.. She presented the facts with the CBCL collector who then had to admit they were collecting in error!!

Way to go.. We LOVE these successes.
