Printer friendlyA program to stop collection agencies from calling you
If you live in Ontario, B.C., Alberta, or Nova Scotia and you are receiving collection calls from collection agencies you can hire our firm to send a "cease and desist" letter to these collection agencies. If you are a resident of one of these four provinces and a collection agency receives a letter from Mark Silverthorn stating that our law firm is representing you with respect to a particular account then it is illegal for that collection agency to contact you in the future. Once it receives this "cease and desist" letter a collection agency is only permitted to make telephone calls or send notices to our office concerning your account-the agency cannot legally contact you.
Our firm charges a flat fee of $100 to send a "cease and desist" letter to a collection agency on behalf of a client, payable in advance. This fee may be reduced if you want our firm to send out more than one "cease and desist" letter on your behalf.
