This is a link to Mark Silverthorn's ebook - A How-to Guide for Dealing with Collection Agencies in Canada

This ebook is 218 pages which means that it's probably the most comprehensive ebook on collection agencies that I am aware of.

It definitely has alot of detailed information for readers to learn about their rights in dealing with aggressive collection agencies in Canada.

I just got off the phone with Mark Silverthorn... we recorded the call.
Mark talks about his experience as a collection lawyer, and what prompted him to change directions and start to help the consumer.

I will post this conversation podcast with Mark Silverthorn in the next day or so. I'm sure everybody will be pleasantly surprised to hear this podcast.

does anyone know anything about the buisness Canadian Debt settlement? Are they legitimate? Does this work?

This conversation is fictitious and never actually took place. It is a Raymond creation.

Well, it's a play, and if that were not enough, it states it's fictitious at the bottom in the [superflous] playwright's footnotes. Is anyone really crazy enough to think that Deanna Natale actually won a Nobel Prize?

Mr. Silverthorn apparently takes umbrage at my disagreement with the effectivenes of some the advice in his book and my crticism of what I feel he has left out.

Further, Monty Loree has asked me not to post anything further that might be interpreted in a negative light against what Mr. Silverthorn may have to say as it would hamper future business collaboration efforts. I shall oblige.

One of the requiste elements of defamation is that its contents be untrue, and so if there is anything that I've posted that violates the spirit or truth or fact, I'd appreciate having it called to my attention. In any event, I accede to Mr. Loree's wishes.

Unlike Mr. Silverthorn or Mr. Loree, I make no money out of what I say to help people. This ensures that there's no conflict of interest as my one and only criterion has been to communicate what is in the other person's best interest.

Regretfully, that will no longer be possible on this site.

(Oftentimes, what has been needed to be communicated has been stated in a blunt manner. The collections and credit repair industry is filled with callous and desensitized individuals who make their money off others' misfortune and misery. And so, often, such people need to be dealt with in a firm manner as the well being of debtors in distress must continue to be the uppermost consideration.)

Wishing everyone the best.

Ya know, I absolutely HATE that....the whole take out a loan suggestion. Yeah, let's get further into debt why don't we?

And I have told collectors that in the past. I'm not going further into debt just to shut you up.

I am dealing with them too. There is a legitimate debt--but i think they must have bought it.
They are encouraging me to take out a loan and are slashing the debt a little if i pay all at once.

any suggestions/hellp appreciated

I have received a call from this office and the debt being sought is legitimate and within limits of statute. I have refused to provide contact details that identify me personally and have agreed over the phone to do all future correspondence by email. When I contact them, what information do I request that will confirm their authorization to collect this debt and ensure a statement of release will be sent to me? I am stuck and don't know the next step.

I get the feeling with Silverthorn that the skunk theory might apply.He might be wearing a different suit now but underneath there is still a smell of skunk.

Well, ok I might stir the pot occasionally, but it's NEVER [except for my last post] just for the sake of stirring it, but only with intention of saving people money.

Did you try calling her at home? Her home phone number and address are listed earlier on in the thread. After all, you are just trying to return her call on business after she asked you to.
