That is NCO's lawyer. I don't know if it is a scare tactic or not. You should contact the loan provider that they say you owe and confirm if their permission to proceed this way has been granted.

Johnny:
I received a letter from the NCO in Alberta stating that my account has been forwarded to Mr. Gold. I live in B.C., does he have any juristiction there? Is this just a scare tactic as well? I have a chronic illness and can't handle the stress this is causing me...
I would like to speak with you. I called the number and I got a woman's voicemail. Do you still work at CFW?
I too received abhorent treatment from the SUPERVISOR of student loan collections. His name is Justin Thibeault. He was yelling at me so loud I was holding the phone away from my ear and I could still hear him.
I submitted a complaint against him and NCO with the CIBC National Collections Centre. IF anyone else has received horrible treatment by NCO and it was for a CIBC student loan, let me know and I will give you the number to submit a complaint.

I registered the initial complaint with Alison Grimmond and then I spoke with her supervisor Winston yesterday.
I did call your assistant Terri today. I got some information about what you do at CFW.
The thing is that my letter was dated Aug. 15, I have to get back to them in 10 days. That's the 25th, unless I don't have to count the weekends, at least not Sundays. That would buy me four more days.
Thanks.

This address belongs to the collection agency NCO Financial in Edmonton. That means he works for NCO Financial. In-house legal counsel is what they call it. I wonder if he has any other clients besides NCO, since he is operating right out of their office? NCO is not a law firm.
Please give us the scoop.

He is definitely a solicitor and he does work for all the major financial institutes in Canada. To the best of my knowledge he specializes in bank collection recovery. He is an independent solicitor and does not work for the collection agency

Johnny,
I have been speaking with Winston, Alison's supervisor. He said he reviewed my case with a relationship officer and they found no reason to stop the judgement from happening. This is even though I had only ONE contact with NCO, and that was the abusive conversation with the "supervisor" at NCO. I never got a letter from them at my new address here in BC (I moved here from Ontario in May). The only reason I contacted the NCO in the first place was because they called my mom's house and she forwarded the message to me that they called. I knew why they were calling me and called them to update my address so they could send me a letter. I got threatened, mocked and abused instead.
Apparently the only reason why they are seeking judgement is because I sent a cease and desist letter. I did this because of the way I was treated on the phone.
I'm also going to find a lawyer that works on contingency because I'm looking to hold Justin Thibeault accountable for the way he treated me. I was so upset I could barely function the next day at work.
I'm really disappointed that CIBC National Collection Centre did not see a reason to stop this judgement, even though I was treated really badly by NCO and NCO told them they tried different avenues before they got my cease and desist letter. That last claim is blatantly false.

What you should do is escalate your complaint to the presdent's office. If the collection agency has good reason to sue, then they will always take that approach (providing t is cost effective).
One thing that collectors don;t lke is when you confront them, and try to gain the upper hand. What you should do is contact the President's office in writng and ask them to intervene. Write out exactly what took place and send it to them.

Wasn't questioning whether or not he is a solicitor. What I am wondering is why is his business address NCO Financial System's in Edmonton? He is there unique in-house counsel. Anyway, what is your predicament with student loans anyway?

Which president do I escalate it to, NCO or CIBC National Collections Centre?
I just realized yesterday that NCO broke British Columbia collections laws by phoning me before they sent me a letter here in B.C.
There's so much I can get them on, it's not funny.

If you have been violated or mistreated in any, you have to go to the source. The loan provider. The president's office is where you may ant to consider escalating your grievance.
