• This video infuriates me. It's American based, however it shows the arrogance of the collection agents.

    Debt collectors describe how they do their jobs--and why they prefer calling your relatives and neighbors!


    It's important to note that it is illegal for a collection agent to contact your neighbours and family and disclose your personal information in Canada. Collection agents cannot tell your neighbours or employers about your collection woes, so as to embarrass you.!!

    I also find it amazing that the first thing the collection agent does is pull the person's credit bureau. That's like shoot first, ask questions later. As soon as the collection agent pulls your bureau, that sends a signal to all future creditors that you may apply with.

Internet Exporer 6.0, also monty, did you get the other information about the posts being off kilter? I can see the main one, "home page" but any time I go into a link...all the information on the left is gone, just yellow & half of the posts are covered by it....
