Just had a call from this number claiming she was calling from Canada Post with returned mail.  Its actually CRS collection on a debt that is 9 years old.  I had a chat with the RCMP and they will follow up with them.

Address: 2200- 2390 1 St Ave W, Edmonton, AB T5J 2B2
Phone:(780) 328-6135

Called claiming from mail room of post office .When i asked who they really were she accused me of speaking to her harshly. i kept asking her who she was and where she was calling from she finally hung up when i stated I would report her impersonating the post office if she continued to not say who she was.  

i just got a call from 7803286135 do you no what this number is about

Please stop phoning me

Very rude lady named Laura, calls saying my son owes money from years ago.....I give her my son's number and she gets very annoyed.  If I hang up, she calls back till I pick up.  Very harassing person.  Anyone know how to stop these early morning calls?

THIS IS NO COLLECTION AGENCY. A collection agency would have the correct name of the debtor. It appears from what is being said here and from my experience that they are trying to collect information about people. This sweet-sounding girl called me asking for a "Joseph" and when I said "There's no one here by that name, goodbye". and hung up, she had the temerity to call back and say, "Why are you hanging up on me?" in a huffy littel voice, like a high-schooler who was all hurt... Like I'm supposed to apologize and help her out, now... Yeah...
I repeated, "There is no one here by that name. Goodbye".
It looks like they want to keep you on the line and see how much info they can pump our of you.

received a  call from this number asking to speak to my husband, when told he was working in the bush she said she had an application that he had filled out and needed to mail it to him...lol then she wanted me to verify his mailing address.. when i wouldn't and i asked what company she was calling from she simply told me.. if i wouldn't give her the information then too bad for him..it's his bad luck... i called the number back several times and 'voice box is full'....

Got a voicemail message from this number this morning.  The message said that I had some undelivered mail. I called back the number they left 877-881-8088 and spoke to Dahlia  They said they needed my address for some priority mail that was for me.  I should have googled the number before I called it back.  Is this legal?  Sounds like fraud to me impersonating Canada Post if they are a collection agency.  Sad lengths these idiots are allowed to go to today.

They buy "Stat Barred" accounts and try to weazle money from unsuspecting people who may have had issues 6 or more years ago... (I think they also are the same company when they run out of Stat Barred files they call you with the big Fog Horn and tell you that you just won a cruise or something.. Then they try to sell you new windows on their evening shift).  Just kidding, I think??!!

But seriously, if you had a bad debt more than 6 years ago, you just need to remind them of the SOL (statute of limitations)

i got few call from this number and i have very good credit histori,i m a man they looking for some women and left the messajes all the time.every day they call mi -she is very rude -please do not let tnem call -i have to work and i not pick up the fon any more-i have a company and this is very important fon-ca;;er ID-1780328-6135

I got called today from female she wasn't saying anything after i said hello, so as i was hanging up i heard her finally say hello but it was too late i hung up.  I got Android phone they give FREE APP called Mr. Number, with this app you block all unwanted calls which includes (private/unknown) numbers.

I missed their call. I will take calls and leave the phone open so it eats up their time. There always seems to be some scam doing the circuits!

This outfit buys up old (alleged) debt long past any statute of limitations for a few cents on the dollar and try to bully and intinidate people into paying.

My lawyer (now long deceased) challenged the alleged debt 20 years ago and now this crops up out of the blue. I'm now a pensioner and have no wish to deal with these people - they really are sc**!

Obviously they have never heard of statutes of limitation.

If they call you do not under any circumstances acknowlege any claim they make' do not "open the door" or do anything to start the clock again!.

Thanks this number just called me,Glad I did not answer it. There was no msg left.

Maria Thomas is a rude C*** !

This is BS Credit collection and left me VM for calling them back for priority Mail pick up..BS..ignore them also I turned off my phone for 2-3 weeks

I used to get harassed by a woman named Lorraine over an old credit card an ex boyfriend stole from me, I just told her I wasn't going to pay it, and I had reported the credit card stolen with the police.. called me morning day and night, even called my boss to inform her of my debt.. even calling my parents who live in the Yukon to try to get them convince me to pay. Finally I just upgraded to a new cell phone so now I block the calls, I changed my last name also because I got married, got a new job. After six years they can't contact you any longer its beyond the statutes of limitations. I had a friend one time even answer the phone and tell her she had the wrong number..she was RELENTLESS, all the more to make me not pay her a dime out of my pocket so she can have her dinky commission, and they can't take you to court for anything over 1000..

keeps calling asking for another party that we do not know

The tried to tell me the were calling from CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) and that they had returned mail and could I verify the address.  Since I have recently moved, and changed my address with the CRA, and received mail from them, I told him was a lying collection agency but thanks so much for his time, and hung up.  Interestingly, he said he was from the CRA in Ontario.  First, the CRA is in Winnipeg, and second, the 780 area code proved he was lying.  All in all, it was fun but incredibly annoying.  Now going to my phone portal to make sure to block the number.

The phone number 780-328-6135 just phoned and when the polite girl on the other end asked to speak with a josephine? I said " Who the F*** is this and why the F*** do you people keep calling my phone number asking for this person?? And then I told them to F****FF! Very loudly , im surprised I didnt wake up my 2 year old son from his nap. Why in gods name do collection adjencies call people and ask for someone else?? Im sure that other person has a cell phone so call them and stop bothering me. My credit is f****ng awsome and I own a brand new jeep, so why bother me with this f****ng nonsense.

received a call from this 7803286135 and they stated they were calling from Purolator and that my parcel has been returned... hmm..... since when does do they call about this and since when do we not receive any information in the mail for pick up LOL!!! she asked me my mailing address and information and I wanted to know more about this so called parcel as to where it was being sent from she did not know and she would have to check... I inquired about well then go and check to see and come back on the phone and tell me I also told her that once she was able to tell me where it came from I would tell her my mailing address as to where I am now.... LIEING CHEATING &*&* really makes me mad what this world has come to and as well as what it is turning into it is pathetic!!!!

I forgot to add, do not pay them a cent, once you do the period in which a company can take you to court or sue starts again, then you're in trouble.

CRS is not a collection agency per se, they do not work on behalf of a company that owns the ORIGINAL debt (say, if you had a debt from Canadian Tire MasterCard and they contracted a collection agency to try to get money), they in fact buy the debt from the original company that has already been written off for pennies on the dollar, then try to get money from you (hence why their offer of a certain amount of money which would be way less that you originally owed).

This has two things you should be aware of.  First, since they have already bought the debt from the original company, they are not acting like a collections agency and thus do not fall under the laws that protect against collection agencies.  They can harass you to hell and back, and there is nothing you can do since they own the debt.  Second, because they bought the debt, it's is most likely outside of the mandatory period that they will be able to sue you (the original company that you owe), so you never have to pay them, but they own the debt for the balance of your life.

Because old debts are wiped off your credit after an x amount of years (I think 6 or so), if the debt is no longer being pursued by the original company and CRS is after you, ignore them.  Or haggle the crap out of them to an amount so low that they'll leave you alone, i.e. if you owe $100, tell them you can pay $5 and only that or you will not answer them.  All else fails just ignore them.  It's pretty easy to filter out their calls.

You have two major violations here---One, under the FDCPA for calling before 8AM and the second under the TCPA for calling your cell phone without your permission.

So this dumb twit called MY cell phone this morning by saying its urgent she speak to my boyfriend, obviously I asked what this is about as he is slepping being its 5:03AM on a Sunday!!! She asked me to wake him up and I said yes leave a message I will wake him up and he will return your call right away. She said no that's ok, I told her no its not you woke me up at 5am on my 1 day off I want you to leave a msg, she started giving me the 1888771... And hung up totally knowing it is completely against collection rules to call before 7am.  Don't know how they got my cell as contact for him but he will not be calling back nor will I ever answer their call again.

I had a debt that was written off by the company , my name was put through the eqifax, trans union , etc.. these geniouses bought the WRITTEN OFF account and now seem to think they can badger me on paying a bill thats been WRITTEN OFF!!!. this is a debt from 2006, my name has been slandered through the credit people already , because of that BILL PAID!! .Ive since repaired my credit and pay ALL of my bills . ive been advised by a few people not to pay for the simple fact they got their payment via slandering my name ..Contact resources rhymes with bottom feeding maggots! Have a nice day

This letter to "collection agents" stops the harassment:

One of your subordinates, who refused to identify herself, telephoned me, saying I owed one of your clients, due to an outstanding debt. She admits you hold the paper which tells me that you bought the alleged debt.  Ergo, the 'client' no longer has proof of claim. If I were to bring said client into a court of competent jurisdiction, they could not bring forth anything but a false claim which is in violation of the Criminal Code of Canada ©  §362.1

You have bought a 'bad debt', meaning: one which the alleged creditor cannot prove is valid. That is the reason they sold it to you. I suggest you request a signed statement from your client wherein he swears, under his full, personal, commercial liability, that I, the principal on the account, owe their institution.  I promise, they will refuse you. Accordingly, I couldn't possibly owe your client. Now, you intend to hold me responsible for paying YOUR debt. Yet, your company and I have no contract and, since all law is Contract Law, accordingly, I couldn't possibly owe you, either.

Millions of people are quickly learning that the only ammunition that you third-party debt collectors have is intimidation. Threatening that you will apprise the credit reporting agencies of a ?bad debt? is unlawful: it is illegal to report false information and making threats is in violation of §346.1 of CCC©. You have no verified claim. Would you pay someone who, over the telephone, claimed you owed him money? I wouldn?t either. Your only contract is with the original alleged creditor. If you bought a debt, that's too bad, because at that instant, the matter ceased to have anything to do with me.

Have you noticed that when you ring me, I am at home and you are at work?  This is because, unlike you, I have learned to live without having to 'slave-labour' for 'money'.

It is only a matter of time before everyone catches onto this and you ALL will be looking for honest work and that is only because you still believe you have to 'earn your living' ... and that is due to your refusal to learn how to set-off debt, simply, lawfully, honourably.  

"The ultimate ignorance is the rejection of something you know nothing about and refuse to investigate." - Dr. Wayne Dyer

Do not ring this number again. If you do, I'll apprise the original alleged creditor that I am appointing you as fiduciary debtor and, via your contract with them, YOU will be liable for payment because you are the one HOLDING the obligation. Do not accept legal counsel from attorneys who will tell you this is inaccurate.  They have a vested interest. Subsequent telephone calls will be construed as harassment which is in violation of §372 of CCC©, making you liable for a punishment of 2 years in prison.

Additionally, sending unsubstantiated demands for payment via Canada Post constitutes mail fraud under section 381 of CCC©, also punishable by 2 years in prison.

Contact Resource has been phoning me for years for a debt which is now about a full year at least past the statutes of limitations.

After increasingly abusive phone calls of swearing, threats and insults I told them i would not answer anymore calls.  The calls ( which i kept record of reached 13 calls a day  at one point)

They got smart then and started blocking their number so it showed as unknown or 000-000-000.  After answering a few of those calls not knowing it was them i stopped answering all calls I did not recognize.

Now today I recieved two calls from them and the number on the call display was from my hometown which is in a totally different area code than the CRS Mississauga  area code 905 number.  I was shocked when I answered the call and it was contact resources.  I asked them why their number was being displayed as a number from my city and they ignored my question and started their speil about suing me if I didn't pay up. I then cut them off and asked them again about the phoney number and they continued on and I hung up.

Exactly 3 minutes later they called back again with the same 705 area code number showing on my call display.  This time when i confronted them they denied it even when I read the number off to them from my call display.  They said I was mistaken... LOL and they were not calling me from a phoney number.

I told them if they called me again without displaying their true identity or used a spoofed number again i was reporting them to the police and they were already running through their speil again when i hung up.

I then called the number that had showed on my call display and it is a dead line, total silence so i assume it is dead number.

These guys were obviously hoping I would think it was a local call and pick up after i had ignored both their displayed calls ( at least the number ) and then the calls they started making blocking their number.

I am reporting them to everyone I can think of.

I recieved several other calls today from other places and ALL of them displayed the correct information on my caller display, EXCEPT for the calls from CRS so I know for sure that this was just a new trick by CRS to try to get through.

Dirty Buggers!!!!!
