TC has a new collection agency.

Post by Chuck Ellsworth »

Anyone else get a letter from A.R.C. Accounts Recovery Corporation trying to collect your medical fee?

This outfit has offices all across Canada and one in Seattle.

Interesting that they would change collection agencies.

TC obviously has made a deal with them because the letter states that payment made directly to TC will not be accepted.

I wonder what happened to that collection agency in Toronto?

And last but not least does anyone know of any other Federal Government department trying to collect through a private enterprise collection agency?

After over a half a century of flying I can not remember even one trip that I refused to do that resulted in someone getting killed because of my decision not to fly.

Similar issues were discussed in these threads as well...

Here's another link (search the page for "collection agency fees" and take note of the number of different agencies the government uses :shock: ):

Thanks for the links CD. :mrgreen:

So let me see, TC is using a collection agency to collect a fee they claim I owe them.

Wouldn't it be nice if I could use a collection agency to collect the $250,00.00 they owe me? :evil:

They haven't bugged me for a while now... then again transport took it off my taxes this year... gee, I thought they couldn't do that and that's why there were using the collection agency.

I may be in violation anyways... haven't updated my address for the last two moves... haven't flown in that time either... @#$! 'em.

The collection agency is for those of us who do not get tax returns, because we don't pay them more than is absolutely necessary.

Of course to do that you should be self employed.

Its been 4 years since I've filed a tax return. TC is pissed. They can take the money from the same gov't that has "jacked" me every 2 weeks for the past 4 years.
