Those which you ring and then learn that you have four options, and then after selecting one of them you are given another four, after you have again made a selection a voice says: "Please hang up". This happened to me three times a couple of days ago.

The fricken fracken collection agency used by the City of Richmond.  Unpaid parking ticket from Dec, orig $25 now $60.  Woman from call center in India phoned me tonight.  Told me a pack of LIES- the City can take my car (false), screw up my credit rating (false), and that I won't be able to renew my licence or insurance unless the parking ticket is paid (false).

haha.

I loved those private parking lots on the Island owned by the same company. They said they'd come after me if I didn't pay, yet my plates weren't BC so I doubt I would have been in their database, paid anyway.  Seemed scammish to me. Besides how would they know where I lived? It didn't add up.

Further to, I'm considering making a consumer proposal to the collection agency.  I want to make a first and last offer to pay a set amount ($45?) to settle this bill.  It's my legal right to do so, but Mr LM thinks that they will laugh at me.

Any advice?

I say your chances of paying 45 bucks trying it your way....are far better than Mr. LM's chances would be if he did it his way.
