My wife received phone calls from a Jesse at Arc Accounts Recovery Corporation concerning a credit card debt at Amex. The woman said she was collecting the debt for Amex.
My wife told her that her that I, her husband, would be taking care of it and that we don't do business over the phone.
The phone calls continued and we received three letters in the mail over a period of time. Each time my wife told the lady that my husband is taking care of it and we don't do business over the phone.
The first letter was addressed to an all caps name with the last name written first. The letter had no author or autograph.
The second and third letters were addressed to an all caps name with no authors and were autographed but not comprehendable.
I wrote a letter asking for facts that could be used as evidence in a court of law.
I asked for
1. evidence as to the identity of these persons(the names written in all caps) as neither one of these all caps names is that of my wife(her name written in upper/lower case).
2. a certified copy of the documents giving ARC ACCOUNTS RECOVERY CORPORATION authorization to operate in Alberta.
3. the identity of the authors of the three letters.
4. and autographed statement by each of the three authors and the president of ARC stating that this action is not party to any conspiracy, fraud or mail fraud.
5. the intention of the unknown authors. If it is the intention of the unknown authors that either I the man: (upper/lower case name) or this woman: (upper/lower case name) accept the BILLS of these unknown authors?
I received a phone call the day that ARC received the letter. The lady would not answer any of the questions and kept evading any other questions that I had.
She stated that they would not be replying to by letter and wanted payment right away.
I told that I would be glad to comply as soon as my questions were answered so that I could verify that this was a legitimate claim.
The lady from ARC called the last two days when I was a work and keeps asking my to get me to call her.
What's the point? They refuse to answer my questions.

#2 Consumer Comment
In Alberta

Hey
So I took the time to respond to this as a friend told me I might like to read this thread. Maybe even help with answers.
"The first letter was addressed to an all caps name with the last name written first. The letter had no author or autograph."
Well if it is a form letter that consists of a "without prejudice" in it then there is no need to sign it. As everyone recieves one without predjudice =).
"1. evidence as to the identity of these persons(the names written in all caps) as neither one of these all caps names is that of my wife(her name written in upper/lower case).
2. a certified copy of the documents giving ARC ACCOUNTS RECOVERY CORPORATION authorization to operate in Alberta.
3. the identity of the authors of the three letters.
4. and autographed statement by each of the three authors and the president of ARC stating that this action is not party to any conspiracy, fraud or mail fraud."
1. I am not sure why you feel all caps is important, but my guess is as most companies that deal with banks and financiers they use either really old software or old system ( unix system, lynx system would be all caps ). Part two of this statement is a bit misleading because you say right in the beginning that you were going to pay the amex account "My wife told her that her that I, her husband, would be taking care of it and that we don't do business over the phone." Now if it is not you then DO NOT PAY THE BILL.
2. Well these would tell you little and most likly would never see them, as well I know of nothing that would say a consumer would have the right to them. But do goto.
http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/epic/internet/inoca-bc.nsf/en/Home
They have all sorts of good information for consumers including a how to deal with collections.
3. Why the authors matter I cant figure out. As the letters are the same and goto everyone.
4. I wont address the authors again. Well the fraud thing again confuses me because well you are going to pay it. Now from what I see on
http://www.arc.ca/pages/ARC-Company.html they have a branch on Roberts ST in Burnaby now I am not 100% positive but I think that would be with-in two or three blocks of the Burnaby Court House. Also 8 branchs would be a bit much for a mail fraud company. Most use PO Box =(
I hope this puts a bit of light on your concerns. But Darcy the best part of Canada is free will. I suggest you just tell the collector " I wont pay this because I dont want to " and that would solve that cause they are not able to force you to do things you dont want to do.

My wife received another phone call from Jesse today. She still refuses to answer the questions in the letter I wrote Accounts Recovery Corporation.
She informed my wife today that Arc is going to sue my wife, have a judgement issued against her and file a lien on our house.
She told my wife that it is her husbands[that's me] fault, that this is happening because I am stalling in paying them.
I offered to settle the matter, all Jesse has to do is answer a few simple questions.
The problem is that the all caps name on the Amex account is not the name of my wife it is a legal fiction name taken from the birth certificate which is created by the Province of Saskatchewan. The Province of Saskatchewan created the all caps name on paper, registered it and now hold title to that name.
That is why Arc will not answer any of my questions, because they know that it has nothing to do with my wife.
Stay tuned.
