I was given a heads up this weekend about allegations regarding Judy Sgro’s daughter, and campaign co-chair. A few quotes taken from over 25 pages of complaints and discussion which date from the beginning of the year to the present;
Deanna Natale, the former lawyer at Total Credit Recovery recently had a difference of opinion (involving injuries and lawsuits) with her old alma mater where she enjoyed many felicitous years of gouging the public through litigation and unscrupulous mortgage brokerage practices. She is now plying her trade up the road at Global Credit and Collections located in the Motorola Building at 8133 Warden Ave., Suite 400, Markham, Ont.,Tel. 905-479-2222 or 1-800-463-4929. Natale’s office is just down the hall in suite 405 at 905 413-8748. Basically, it’s just a fancy boiler room operation with lots of security and carded entry. They haven’t made too many friends. I wonder why.
You didn’t mention whether Global had bought up your account or were just earning a commission on it from someone else. Sometimes collection agencies will buy up large amounts of old and SOL (stats barred) paper for almost nothing on the dollar, send out bluff notices and play the numbers. Surprising, the money that’s lined up to buy the stuff.
Last week, I had a guy from New Brunswick send me several emails concerning exactly the same phoney statement of claim from her. Maybe she’s sending them out en masse and just working the numbers.
Natale sent him one of those bogus Form 7A’s (Statement of Claim in Ontario Small Claims Court) threatening legal action in her jurisdiction of Richmond Hill. (I thought it should have been Newmarket, Ont.) In any event, his line of credit was just over the 6 year mark since the date of last activity on the account – which is the limitation period in NB). Natale wanted $6,000 OR ELSE! It was even more confusing since the address of the bank where the original line of credit loan was taken out and the borrower’s address were in the same New Bunswick town. That would mean that any lawsuit would have to be filed there, not in Ontario, irrespective of whether or not the debt had been bought up by Global. These bogus Form 7A’s always have a blank red seal in the upper left hand corner and the word “Draft” in the top middle. In this case, I told the guy that Global was SOL because the debt was SOL.
It seems you also are just one more target of Natale’s huffing and puffing. Since Natale is using bluffs and threatening lawsuits when, as a lawyer, she knows full well what the provincial laws of jurisdiction and limitation are, then people should send in a formal complaint to the Law Society of Upper Canada keeping copies of all her correspondence with her as submission evidence of professional misconduct.
A typical complaint;
Last Friday I received a letter and suspicious looking forms from Natale Law Offices. I too have never lived in the GTA. I do not owe money to the institution she says she’s is collecting for. The forms she sent look phony. Im happy she doesn’t have my SIN… Funny how she threatens to proceed with this fraudulent claim if she hasn’t heard from me within 10 days of the date of her letter. Yet I received the letter 14 days after the date of the letter. I have already reported this to the financial institute that she says I had owed money to. I will also report this to the RCMP tomorrow and to whoever else will listen!
I have since checked my credit rating with Equifax; it’s clean as a whistle.
And another;
From BC: I decided to do a google search on Deanna Natale after we too received a letter (this is the 3rd one) from Natale’s law office last week, claiming we owe money to Hilco for an account purchased from Wells Fargo that goes back to 2000. I checked our Equifax report and it has nothing on it, and I’ve never heard of either one of them. I got the whole package from her, the phony looking form 7a with the phony looking red seal.and the gmail?? come on!! What respectable business person uses that! SCAMMER is the first thing that came to my mind, so I just chucked them in the garbage. I’m going to take the advice of Raymond and make a paper airplane. . I wonder how many people actually pay, thinking they do owe it.
