Hey,

They will not go after you for $ 300.00 , the court application itself will cost like $ 75.00 :)

Your best bet is just saving money, until you get like $ 200.00 and the settle.

Just make sure when you settle you get a written contract from them.

Hope this helps...

All the best!

The statute of limitation in Quebec is three years. Is the account showing on your credit file? I would check with both credit bureaus. If you know how to negotiate they will accept 50%.When they accept; make sure you get a settlement agreement before you hand over your money.

Hi everyone, it's my first post in this forum. Hope you can help me!

I was outside the country for 3 1/2 years. Have just returned to Canada. A friend passed on my mail. In it I found a letter from lawyer Richard Lavoie, claiming to represent Rogers. It claims that I owe about 300$ to Rogers, and that because I didn't pay, and that I didn't respond to collections from Global Credit and communications, It claims I have 10 days to respond or they will institute legal proceedings against me. This is from February, but I just received it now. I didn't receive any other letters about this, but it's possible they were lost, as some of my other mail got lost while I was away.

What should I do? I thought I had settled all my accounts before leaving, but it's possible a bill might have gotten overlooked before I left. However, I've just returned to the country, and am not in the best financial position at the moment, so I also don't have the money to give them. As well, before I would even consider paying this, I would want to see the detailed bill from Rogers that they claim I didn't pay, as it was very common in my dealings with them that they overcharged or made mistakes on the bill (always in their favor of course), that I then would have to waste time calling them to fix.

Is this debt collectible under the Statute of Limitations for Quebec? I believe I signed up for the phone in Ontario while I was at university, but later moved to Quebec. My last payment on the account would have been in November 2007. I don't want to ruin my credit. What is the best way to deal with this?

I signed up for a new mobile when I arrived to Canada. A few days after, I received a weird automated call that asked me to hold. I had no idea what it was so I hung up, but now reading this forum, perhaps it was a collection agency that was alerted of my new number? Creepy!

Any information on how to best deal with this situation is appreciated. Thank you in advance!
