I received a call and message from Nordon on my cell #. I am not sure how they even got the number and why they are contacting me. In the message they said they were calling from Skills Canada on behalf of the Ontario Government. I googled the number and discovered it was a collection agency and seeing all the posts about the company on here, I assume it's regarding student loans. However, I did a bankruptcy back in 2009 and I went through a hardship action because it had not been 7 years yet. I received a judgement through court which dismissed all of my student loans under hardship. Why after 3 years am I now being contacted by this agency? With all of the horror stories on here in relation to collection agencies, I am terrified to call them back. I finally cleared my credit report and am starting fresh with a clean slate. I am just beginning to put this financial nightmare behind me. Any suggestions as to how to handle this? Thank you.
