The Tender For Law

English Only

ENGLISH is the international language of law and commerce. Knowing FRENCH is useful for understanding LEGAL ENGLISH, but FRENCH is not the international language of law and commerce, so we will ignore French speakers who speak to us in the language of a conquered people.

Non.

I understand that you are a proud Québécois, but the people here have nothing but contempt for you because of decades of transfer payments and NONE OF YOU understanding what Quebec sovereignty means. None of you know who Russell Rogers Smith is, and you're too proud and arrogant to teach. Just go away and be Retardier somewhere else.

POP QUIZ!

WHY ARE "COLLECTION AGENCY" and "COLLECTOR" SEPARATE DEFINITIONS? :D

The Fender and I are having a "legal spat" about AGENCY, and I figure all of you should benefit from it.

...and the group has been slow since:

1: We purged all the members

2: All the remaining members started playing Battlefield 2142

Here is ONTARIO'S laws regarding DEBT COLLECTION AGENCIES:

The COLLECTOR is not surety, The collection agency is surety for any fuck ups that may happen.

I suspect some of these COLLECTOR to use fake names.....it doesn't matter what name they may use, they are not liable.....

Pete Daoust

It says right there ! :/

“collector” means an individual employed, appointed or authorized by a collection agency to collect debts for the agency, to deal with or trace debtors for the agency or to provide debt settlement services to debtors on behalf of the agency; (“agent de recouvrement”)

Jesus Martinez

In the case of ONTARIO, I think the COLLECTION AGENCY is a PERSON that provides a SERVICE of obtaining or arranging for payment of money owed to another person, and employs an INDIVIDUAL (AGENT) authorized/appointed to COLLECT that money, called COLLECTOR.

One is the "AGENCY" with SURETY, the other is an "AGENT" for "the agency."

It's curios that neither "money" "debt" "debtor" "service" "agency," nor "agent," are defined in the Act. So when the words "the agency", and others, are used I am not sure which AGENCY they actually mean. i.e. << “collector” means an individual employed, appointed or authorized by a collection agency to collect debts for the agency,...>> Which AGENCY? :D

Also, apparently a "collection agency" may only collect MONEY OWED. Again, "money" is NOT defined in the Act. It does not collect DEBTS, but SELLS a SERVICE of DEBT SETTLEMENT. :D

SO back to the question, <<WHY ARE "COLLECTION AGENCY" and "COLLECTOR" SEPARATE DEFINITIONS? >> Because they are NOT the same, for they exist and operate through AGENCY, and one is the AGENCY, and the other the AGENT.

As with everything else with "agency," the authority for these "collection agencies" comes a from an unknown, magical place. It's clearly defined as a SERVICE.

Ok Scott,

The Collection Agency BUY debts.

The Collector creates LEGAL obligations/relations with whom they think should buy back the debt.

COLLECTORS can't BUY debts. Collection Agencies can't create LEGAL obligation/relations.

If I have good reasons to believe I have to send an invoice for time, and/or violations of rights, I have to go after the AGENCY.

Pete.

I know a guy, who is a share holder of a collection agency.

He said, after talking with me for 20 minutes, that he will never buy a debt with the name PIERRE DAOUST attached to it….. :P

it seems to him that if he does, that debt will be sitting on his desk for a long period of time, and then he will have to find another collection agency to buy it, at very low cost, or, consider it in the losses....

He also know that he might end up with more debts.... :D

The funny thing is: I "NEVER" refuse to PAY for any things I buy !! :/ ....go figure ....

Pete Daoust

I kept asking for an invoice, detailling the product and/or service I might have bought from them, and PROMISED to PAY as soon as I receive an invoice, detailling products, and/or services I have bought from them.....

^^ A Bill is inchoate if unsigned I keep telling them. The local council keep saying they have sent me a Bill, I keep saying I have not received any Bills. Plenty of inchoate shit which goes straight in the trash, they haven't a clue what I mean but that's not my fault :-P

As per the Financial Administration Act,

Definition of — collection agency — 17.1 (1) In this section, “collection agency” means a person, other than an employee of a department, who(a) carries on the business of collecting debts for other persons; and(b) is registered or licensed as a member of the legal profession or as a collector of debts in the province in which the person carries on the business of collecting debts.

Pete Daoust

Yes, Admiral Scott, I have been waiting for your saying on this post/comments. Ever since I read the AGENCY article, I was able to make a connection with things I did not understand. I wish you may teach more about AGENCY. It seems one can screw a bit with the "system" using AGENCY.
