Hey collectorinrage, you know what? If Telus would have done anything to try and track me down before it went to collection then it would have been dealt with then, but instead they sell it to a bottom feeder collector who couldn't give a rats a** about anything. Until the last year Telus just took information over the phone such as name, birthdate and address and they gave service. ANYONE could have called in and got a phone. The only reason Telus has sold these so called debts is because people finally have decent alternatives and they are scrambling for cash.
I don't owe 'interest' because I actually don't even own the debt, iand f I never had an agreement with them in the first place, then you can shove your interest up you little weasel butt.
For the 20 years of of accounts and payments that are on my credit file I have never had one late payment, a collection or a judgment and now my credit has dropped to 655 because of $165.
I have spent countless hours on the phone, wrote letters, emailed and faxed, with the latest being an offer to CBV to pay the debt with a $300 administration fee to remove the item from my credit file and I am still waiting to see if them accept my offer or not. I have never ONCE gotten a letter, a phone call or anything from CBV.
Cops won't do anything about the phone, Telus doesn't have the debt, collection agency has screwed up my credit, and now I am getting blasted by the same jerks I am trying to deal with.
I hope one day something happens to you a**hole, so you can understand why it really feels to be on the innocent end of your business... And it doesn't take much. Look at this board. Even movie late fees now have the ability to mess up your credit.
I am not EVER going to give CBV or any other collector a cent until I make sure my credit is protected.
