Raymond,

I read your article and I’m not spamming, I am helping people realize they can settle debts for as low as 10% depending on their circumstances.

Cheers

I have a similar situation in that I have recently been contacted by ARO regarding a traffic ticket that was charged almost 9 years ago.
The infraction happened in Ontario, I was living in BC, and still am now.

It was a DUI, I took it to court, was fined but never paid.

Is the debt not dead by now?
Will my credit be affected?

Can this agency threaten to suspend my DL?
Thanks,
J

No, it won't affect your credit report. It's more than 6 years old.

Ok.. thanks for the advice.

I called Bell today and they couldn't find any account of mine owing money.
I'm just gonna tell they i'm not going to pay it.. since it's over 6 years old. and if it really is my bill.. i'm sure the damage is done now to my credit score anyways.

It's 6 years in New Brunswick.

Possibly, Nordon called you as Bell is in the midst of a country wide pre-Christmas campaign to clear up old dead accounts. Pay if you want to settle for moral reasons. This actually might be among those where a settlement could be obtained for the 10% "averagejoe" mercilessly keeps spamming this forum with.

I got a call this weekend for a old debt with Bell Canada that was around $800, the person on the phone is saying the date on this debt is from January of 2008. I haven't had any Bell accounts since 1998. So if it is really my debt it's from 1998 or so..Im in New-Brunswick.. anyone know the statute of limitations for NB?

He really wanted me to make a payment on the phone,, even if it was just $10. I told him i had no bills from Bell since 1998, but I would look into it and call him back..

Should i get him to mail me all the proof he has? I haven't even gotten a letter from them or anyone else regarding this bill.
