Seizure is a legal proceeding that a creditor can initiate after the court has rendered a judgment against you. The creditor asks the court to take the money (foreclosed) you owe from a number of sources, as Alberta is the fourth largest province by population in Canada, with more than four million inhabitants. IRS collects debts and debts of companies in various sectors: mining, oil and gas, financial services, construction, manufacturing, transportation, real estate, insurance and many others. With a GDP of over twenty billion dollars, the majority of our collections in Alberta are trade debt collections. In-House Receivable Services, or IRS, is a regional debt collection agency in British Columbia and Alberta. We specialize in the collection of potential debts for businesses and consumers as well as in the recovery of international and maritime debts. Our agency has affordable prices and a high level of personalized customer service with superior collection results. Since 1997, IRS has a proven track record of collecting consumer and business debt by third parties. Alberta has a 2-year law that prohibits creditors and collection agencies from suing a debt, which can interfere with collection. Debts that are more than 2 years since the date of the last payment or recognition of the debt cannot be sued by civil court systems in Alberta. For this reason, many debtors of large balances in Alberta will try to delay things for more than 2 years so that they are safe from lawsuits.
This also includes the collection of trade receivables. There are two basic collection phases, namely our standard collection and legal debt collection. All accounts follow the standard collection phase and must be paid by the time this phase is completed. However, if the debts have not yet been settled, the debt moves into the legal recovery phase. If this is not the case, the next phase of legal collection follows. If you sign a secured loan agreement and do not make your payments, the creditor has the legal right to seize the collateral. If the value of the collateral does not cover your debts, the creditor can also sue you for any remaining money, including interest and costs. In some cases, the court may also allow the creditor to seize your salary and bank account. If you use loans to make purchases or pay for services and not make payments, your creditors can take legal action to recover the money owed. Common types of loans are: If you have trouble paying your bills, contact your creditors as soon as possible.
Try to make agreements with your creditors before your account is handed over to a collection agency. After recording the debt in our database, we start with an intensive strategy that includes: letters, phone calls, faxes, personal visits, inquiries, interviews and any other type of personal contact. The African Bank has launched a strategic initiative to create an integrated network of tracers with a direct relationship with the African Bank to support recoveries. The main objective was not only to support the African Bank in the physical search for clients and to offer several options to make appropriate payment arrangements, but also to help the African Bank educate clients about their financial rights and obligations. Unsecured creditors can sue you if you don`t pay your bills.

With an unsecured loan agreement, you get credit without promising collateral to the creditor. For example, you sign an unsecured loan agreement when you receive a credit card or payday loan. You have an unsecured loan agreement with the utility when it connects your gas, electricity, water or phone. You also have a non-guaranteed agreement with your dentist for dental treatment. A debt repayment agency is a company that charges fees to act on your behalf when you negotiate or agree with creditors so that you pay what you owe.
This is a voluntary agreement between the debt repayment agency (which works for you) and your creditors. To stop the seizure process or make changes to the creditor`s seizure, you must obtain a court order. You`ll probably need a lawyer to do this. A creditor must designate a civil enforcement authority to seize the security. A civil enforcement officer working with the Agency will make the seizure. A creditor who seizes your bank account is allowed to take the full amount of money you owe. For more information on what to do if you`re sued and how to get your collateral back, see what creditors can do if you don`t tip. The police do not interfere in debt collection cases. Talk to your creditor immediately.
If you can start paying some of the money you owe, the creditor can leave the seized property with you. Agencies are responsible for the conduct of the collectors or agents they employ. If you do not submit a valid dispute resolution notice within the required time limit or if you do not appear in court on the day of the hearing, the court will grant the creditor a judgment against you. If a collection agency violates the above rules or has treated you unfairly, you can file a consumer complaint. Records must be kept for at least 3 years after the date they were registered. Further information can be found in the tip sheet for the collection of invoices and the repayment of debts. Alberta requires all debt collection agencies, debt collection agencies, debt redemption agencies and debt repayment agents to be licensed under the Consumer Protection Act and the Debt Collection and Repayment Practices Order. Debt collection agencies collect unpaid debts or locate debtors for others.
Make sure you are able to verify any payments you have made to an agency or creditor. This can be done through receipts, void cheques and any other proof that a payment has been made. If you are sued, a civil suit will be served on you. Don`t ignore the claim. If you need more information about the African Bank, please visit our website at www.africanbank.co.za African Bank is proud to comply with the law and in particular to name only tracers registered as debt collectors with the Collection Agents Council, as required by the Collection Agents Act, Act 114 of 1998 („Act“). Although none of the trackers on our panel are authorized to collect payments from African Bank clients, we require that all trackers be registered as described above and strictly comply with the law and code of conduct published in relation to the law. Only tracers with their own credit score will be considered for an appointment to the tracing panel. The research department monitors compliance with various laws, policies and procedures through comprehensive quality processes. If you have an outstanding debt to a bank, the bank can exercise its right of set-off to recover the money. The right to set-off allows a bank to withdraw money from your accounts to pay off your outstanding debts. The bank does not need to notify you or ask for your permission before taking this action.
The bank does not have to ask for permission from the court. Once a judgment has been rendered, the creditor can take several steps to get the money you owe: a creditor does not have to accept your payment proposal. Even if a creditor accepts your payment proposal, it can be cancelled if you do not comply with all the terms of the agreement. The creditor can then resume the activity of collecting your debts. A conditional purchase agreement is a special type of guaranteed contract. If you purchase goods under a conditional purchase agreement, the creditor owns the property until you have paid the debt in full. The goods constitute the guarantee of the contract. In 2006, an operational tool, ABTrace, was developed by the African Bank`s Tracing Department in collaboration with Lawyers Access Web („L@W“) for the exclusive use of the African Bank and its panel of tracers.
This web application was developed to help the African Bank manage its tracers and, in particular, to serve as a communication tool between Tracers and the African Bank. The ABTrace app offers the possibility for potential trackers to register and apply online, the bank to give instructions to trackers at the touch of a button and monitor the progress made in executing and submitting instructions. ABTrace is an initiative of the African Bank, owned by the African Bank and the full application is only available to the African Bank and its approved tracers. Banks can use their right of set-off to collect overdue payments on credit cards, loans, overdrafts or lines of credit. A bank can withdraw the money you deposited in one of its branches and apply it to your debts. The bank does not have to leave any money in your account. During this phase, the debtor`s whereabouts are tracked, confirmed and updated. A payment plan is negotiated and the debtor`s financial situation is determined.
