Complaint Review: Accounts Recovery Corporation

Accounts Recovery Corporation (ARC), an apparent collection agency, used an express misrepresentation during an unsolicited telephone call to my mobile phone, in an attempt to get me to make payment on a debt that does not exist. ARC claims that a debt of over $8,000 is outstanding to CIBC, their alleged client, and was due and payable immediately. This is a lie. There is no such debt. They also claimed that this debt had a payment made on it, presumably by myself, in 2001. This is also a lie. I was not in Canada in 2001. Furthermore, I contacted CIBC, with whom I have accounts in good standing, and they confirm that they have absolutely record anywhere in their files indicating that this balance is owed, or that it ever was sent to a collection agency.

ARC uses lies and coercion in an attempt to get gullible people to pay them money that they have no legal right to. They are rank fraudsters and ought to be prosecuted to the extent that the law demands.
