Debt Collection Answer

FDR Ltd is probably giving you a ring about an overdue debt linked to one of their clients. They’re experts in handling defaulted bills, which could involve things like credit cards, loans, or other personal debts. They might be contacting you to make you aware of the debt or to request payment. Whether they’re collecting on behalf of a lender or they’ve bought the unpaid debt themselves, it’s key to ensure their claim is legit and that the debt they mention is accurate including credit card debt.

If you’ve got a nagging feeling about the call or the debt in question, do yourself a favor and ask for a written confirmation. FDR needs to back up their claims with proper documents, as per Canadian laws. And if you feel their approach is out of line or misleading, don’t hesitate to report the issue to consumer protection bodies or chat with a legal expert. Remember to stand firm in protecting your rights as a consumer throughout this whole situation.

Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy (OSB) Answer

FDR Ltd is likely contacting you regarding debt recovery or debt management services, as they may be a firm that specializes in handling accounts in default. Under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (RSC 1985, c B-3), creditors may employ agencies to collect outstanding debts. If you owe money and have fallen behind on payments, it’s common for such companies to reach out. You may want to clarify directly with FDR Ltd about the nature of their communication to determine if it is indeed about a debt-related matter.
