I hope someone can share info or assistance if they are going through a similar experience. I am a B.C. resident and have been since 1986.

I received a telephone call from a collection agency approx. four years ago informing me I continued to owe approximate $900.00 in a grant fund overpayment. In 1987 I received one grant for $1,200 in 1987. Due to changes in academic scheduling I was required to repay. It was repaid in three payments. It appears the third payment remains unaccounted for on their records.

Previously, I found useful information on this website and informed the first agency the claim was denied.

Now it seems this "issue" as been transfered to A.R.C. Accounts Recovery and Rev Canada has sent me a preliminary statement informing me of "an outstanding debt under the OSAP program and that they may without income tax refunds and GST credit payments to recover debts.

My questions are:
1. Are grants stats barred?
2. Can Rev Canada collect on a Grant from 1987?
3. I continue to decline this claim, as A.R.C. has not provided appropriate documentation. Is this appropriate?

Thanks in advance for help and support
