Well, after seven months of argueing about my "grant
overpayment" CBCL asked if I would please contact HRDC and request if it could be removed from collections. The last agent sounded rather deflated when her call for a student loan turned into the Grant repayment scam. It sounds like thier as tired of trying to collect on these overpayments as we are of getting called on them. I told her to stamp it "Claim denied" and send it back to HRDC herself. I will see if that happens or not. |

Hi Russ, CBCL is probably fed up because they make no money dealing with grant overpayments. They can't make a commission when the government pays you. They only become passionate when dealing with issues that are in their financial interest. To do otherwise would indicate that they might actually use their knowledge to assist someone out of the kindness of their hearts. |

oh they have been very passionate for the last
seven agents that have yelled,screamed, and what not. It has only been the last two that I have been able to talk with and inform that they have no claim on me. I honestly think that they were new hires that got the sh*t list to try to collect as their first files. Oh well, at least this last one implied that I am right in my thinking, and that the info from this site is in fact correct.

A collector can only threaten legal action so many times before it starts to lose it's momentum. Day one... "Mr. Jones, I am going to begin legal proceedings ..." Day 2 ... "Mr. Jones, are you going to take care of this so we do not have to resort to extremes? ..." Day 3 ... " I'm serous, now, Mr. Jones ... I am going to proceed ..." Day 4 ... "Mr. Jones, are you wanting us to sue you? Well... we are...." Day 5 ... "Ok, Mr. Jones, I am giving you one last chance to rectify this matter ..." Day 6 .... Mr. Jones, I just thought I would let you know that we started the proceedings and you will be served with the writ shortly ... Day 587 ..."Mr Jones... I am serious, we will sue you - ya know. We thought we would give you some time to think about it... Day ... 2189 ... "Mr. Jones, this is one last courtesy call before we sue you in the Supreme Court of Canada for your ..."
Mr. Jones retorts (In the words of Islander) ... "Mr. Collector ... you have been suing me for the last 6 years. I strongly suggest you put your head between your knees and kiss your own arse. The debt is now barred... so get bent.... click.

Firt of all, a notice of claim is just a letter from the collection
agency. I could send you a notice of claim for . . ONE
MILLION DOLLARS (pinky firmly against lips). That and a buck ten
gets me a cup of coffee. If they actually started legal proceedings you would be served with a court document and it would include a return form (to be sent to the court) where you state your side for the record. After you return it "claim denied", then a trial date would be set. Most grant overpayments would be a small claim court amount anyways; and won't be sued by the Ontario government (newspaper report). If they try anyways (they could have bought a pile of debts on speculation), make sure that your trial is held at YOUR local small claims court: It's your right. I doubt this will ever happen. Don't give up breathing or sex in the meantime. ------------- BigFatherA Priest & Teacher non carborundum illegitemi est |

It says she has to file a defence with the court within 20 calander
days after she has received this claim or a judgement may be entered
against her. A judgement may be entered without further notice to
her also. The form has a claim # and the address for the Windsor Small Claims Court, so it looks like this is the real deal. |
