Heartless đź’”
Gerry Joly with Pomer & Boccia showed up on a writ while trying to sell my rental house in April 2024. He claims I have a debt with Canadian Tire Bank for $3,757.25 from 2011 and that I owe them another $12, 494.00 interest and yet he will provide me with no documentation at all. I explained to him that my house burned down in 2013, my dog died and my 13 yr old son was on life support with 2nd & 3rd degree burns. I explained that we haven’t lived in that home since because we had ptsd from the fire but I had mail forwarding and no documentation from him ever came and unfortunately between my son’s condition and my brother’s murder, I wasn’t doing “writ checks” on my own. I’ve also checked with my tenants now and they too said no documentation ever came. I have cried my eyes out and pleaded with this man to send me paperwork and he won’t. Today I spoke with Canadian Tire and they said that debt was out of their hands years ago. They couldn’t even find my name until I gave them my old phone number. The CT lady on the phone even said, wow, that sounds very snake like of him. Also, writs in Ontario are for 6 years and he has renewed it twice with zero documentation. And I’ve been reading and screenshotting about this exact same scenario from other people being scammed by Gerry Joly in the exact same manner. They must pay him well and I can see why if he’s bringing in over 12k in interest for a company that has written off the debt from broken people without documentation. My closing date is next week and if I am forced to pay this I’m not going to be quiet because I have no job and that money was for a used vehicle that I need. 💔

Horrible and sounds like scam
This is absolutely the worst experience with any of the companies. It was about the Canadian tire card from 2016 that my boyfriend forgot about. We didn’t receive any documentation from P&B and the way he found out about being in collections was that his bank account was blocked. It was August 2020. I contacted their agent Gerry Jolly and made an agreement. He didn’t want to send me any documents but finally after I said it’s illegal I received the documents from him. I sent $1000 right away and after that monthly payments of $300. It is August 2023 and I just contacted Gerry about the ousting amount that according to my calculations supposed to be around $200. After sending 4 emails I finally got the answer with just one sentence saying balance almost $18,000. After sending another 4 emails asking for explanation I got the answer saying it’s the interest based on the principal amount from 2016. This is totally ridiculous. The communication with the agent is horrible. I wasn’t expecting monthly statements but at least a receipt of the payment would be nice. And maybe a yearly statement showing the payments and outstanding amount without asking for it multiple times. Luckily I have printed proofs of all the e-transfers I sent to them. I will be contacting the lawyer because this sounds like a total scam. No information, no contact and the balance that goes up even tho regular payments are made.

David P. is a very knowledgeable trustworthy attorney, who was
authentically and genuinely interested in my problem .
He was very effective in communicating . He has the ability to make you feel comfortable,
and explained everything in very simple terms, with a little added humor.
Thank you so much for taking the time in your very busy schedule to
help a stressed out gal!

July 27, 2019 I was contacted by *** from the Law office. I was given notice I had a debt to *** in the amount of $5078.84. I was told I had to pay immediately. Mr. suggested a settlement offer on that Friday stating I only had till the 31st of July to make the first of two payments of $1806.00 or the settlement offer of $3612.00 would not be allowed. I requested a statement from the company as proof of the debt and was denied that prior to payment request. I followed through on the agreement and make the payment via etransfer as requested by the office. I requested a receipt for the payment and was told I'd get it in 48hrs . 7 days later I again asked for proof of the debt and a receipt for payment. I was not given a reply. 9 days after payment and 10 emails from me, I was given proof of debt and a receipt not depicting our settlement arrangement. Furthermore the proof of debt statement did not match the amount being requested, it was a lesser amount of $4443.59. I've contacted the office 15 times via telephone starting July 31, 2019 up until today August 15, 2019 and have yet to have Mr. accept or return a call to discuss the repayment. I do not feel the office is following the laws set out in the CDSSA (act pertaining to collection regulations) I am left unable to proceed and still being told via email that they will get back to me. My next and final payment is to be made August 31, 2019 and I am uncomfortable with not having any written confirmation of this from the office. I'd like to have it reviewed to see if the collection practices are being followed properly by this firm and this employee.

Desired Outcome

I'd like to know my full rights and if the office is following the legal guidelines for collection in the Collection and debt settlement services act. In particular sections 16

Pomer & Boccia Response • Aug 19, 2019

Good Afternoon and thank-you for your notification. The consumers account was placed at PB by our client for due collections. I personally spoke with the consumer and was alerted to her particular circumstances, at that point, I presented a repayment scenario based on a settlement over multiple payments. this was designed to accommodate the consumers circumstances. I continue to make attempts to have that scenario approved by our client. At the same time, I advised the consumer to make an immediate partial payment in order to demonstrate commitment to repaying: this was done and payment acknowledged. In the interim, I am procuring copies of statements form the original creditor at the consumer's request in support of divorce proceedings on her end.
I continue to work with the original creditor to have the settlement vetted. at no time did I advise the consumer the settlement is approved, I did advise I would work to make efforts toward that. the consumer will be advised accordingly.

I just now have received an email from the lawyer in charge ***. Who claims to have informed me that his settlement wasn't reached however he still not returning the settlement payment nor have I received that information nor has he provided me with proof it was sent perhaps that is another avenue you can look at. I am not trying to get out of paying a debt when I'm trying to do is make sure that the rules are set out he's claiming that this collection agency gave it back to the original credit card company so where is my $1800 gone and why haven't they heard anything about it?

Pomer & Boccia Response • Mar 16, 2020

Your account was assigned to us for collection as a validated owing debt by our client. We as duly assigned collection agents reached out to you to collect the account. Once you described your circumstances to em that you were unable and not willing to pay the full amount, I suggested a lower amount to be paid in stages. I proposed this to our client for approval, as we are obligated to do, and they declined it. Your first payment toward the owing amount is a valid payment and has been applied to your account thus reducing the total owed. The account was recalled from us as collection agents in January 2020 and at that point our client handles the account as they see fit as is their right. I am more than happy to show you this history however as the account is no longer placed here, I cannot action the account and it is much more effective for you to reach out to our client and perhaps work out a new arrangement.

. Garnished my wages in 2017 and then again in 2019 for the same debt and went to my bank this time and not my employer.
