Yes this is a bottom feeder. Metropolitan credit. Try a whistle if you can get a person. Give them back 5 calls for every one. Never send them money. Even if you do,paying off the whole amount, they won't lift a finger to reflect it in your credit report. Instead, they will tell you to get in touch with their client, who will in turn refer you back to the dept collector. Fact is, if you haven't paid on the account for several years, they have no legal recourse. The time period starts from the last time you made a payment, even $1.00 and goes forward from that date for court filing. Check with your province, Rules of Procedure for time limits for filing. Basically, their only recourse is to harass you. You might have a lawsuit of harrassment against them.

Alberta health care is no longer paid here. Why take five years to try to collect funds that our own government says we no longer need to pay.

Metropolitan Credit Adjusters, this is not a respectable firm. I cannot believe how rude these people are. I am less likely to cooperate with rude pieces of **** than I am polite people. So for the time being i'll make em late because it makes it seem like they are incompetent at what they do.

I block the calls by routing it to Google Voice, which has unlimited per-call blocking and redirection to a voice message saying the number is no longer in service.  

The first time they call, I have their number. The next time they call, the number is blocked.

"Good" numbers are forwarded to a number no one knows except me.

With Google Voice (a free service) calls can also have a customized message depending on their number, or a general category they are placed in. Repeat callers you can play back the sound of an airhorn to welcome them.

The catch is, Google Voice is "not available" in Canada, so the initial registration process you need to use a IP spoofer like Hide-My-IP and make it look like you are accessing the service from someplace in the U.S.  You also need a U.S. telephone number (use vonage.ca or Toktumi.com to get one. This costs a few dollars per month).  Thereafter, you can use your Google GMail account to check your voice messages

Google also does automatic text transcription, not as good as Apple Siri though.

I receive a call from this number many times a month. They always ask for the same person. I have ignored them, and then I answered and politely explained that they have the wrong number, hoping that would help.I have explained more times than I can count. I have even attempted to find out who had the number last and how long ago. Now I either ignore it or pick it up and hang up. It drives me crazy. All the phone company(Telus) says is they will change the number. There is no way to block it free of charge, if at all. Changing the number is a big problem as I would have to change my number with everyone I gave it to in the year I've had it.No new number guarantees I won't end up with the same problem.Any ideas?

YOU LOW-LIFE CAN MAKE A COMMENT LIKE THIS ONLY BECAUSE  YOU'RE A LOWLIFE D****EAD AND PROBABLY WORK FOR THESE BOTTOM-FEEDERS COLLECTION B*****DS. BUT DON'T WORRY, HERE'S THE NEWS:
THERE IS A LAW WHICH IS GOING TO BE INTRODUCED VERY SOON TO OUTLAW THESE
LOW-LIFE BOTTOM-FEEDERS.

have been calling my phone number on matters not related to me. sometimes the number shows up other times it's blocked. please report this.

it's a collection agency .. I worked for them .. it's how they verify that they have the right person on the phone because it's illegal to tell anyone but the debtor about their debt without their permission.  It's Metropolitan Credit Adjustors.

just called me too. 4 times in a row I
made me drop the call I was on..believe its for Telus.
Any advise here;
I suspended my account for 7months, (zero minutes used!) I explained my situation to Telus and they said thats fine don't worry and promissed credits / adjustments..
So ultimatly I never recived my adjustments and now collections are calling for a large amonut, which was wrongfully billed out !
I have explained my situation with the 'Metropolitan Credit Adjustors" and they are only interested in a settlement of partial amount "owed" !
How do I protect my credit from this BS??

More often than not people who cannot honor their commitments (pay their bills) find themselves in circumstances that were not anticipated.  Comments like the one above "pay your debts" or Collection Agencies trying to put people down for not paying are not helpful.  People making these types of comments need to get a life.  Hopefully these type of people someday suffer financial stress or circumstances which cause them to struggle with meeting obligations.  Hopefully they get harrassed and feel the pain/stress they cause others.  Shame on people who have this attitude and make comments as such and they really don't have the facts!  Feel sorry for "collection agents" who obviously are not educated enough or experienced enough to get a real job and thus spend their days trying to inflict more stress on people over debts! There is lots of information on how "stress" causes illness and kills...Collection agents don't seem to care of the impact they can have on people's health etc!   People who find themselves in unfortunate circumstances should not feel less of themselves!  Heck even Donald Trump has filed bankruptcy how many times.. and he certainly doesn't think less of himself nor does anyone else!
