The Strong Arm Collection Agency Had a Number of Debts

The Strong Arm Collection Agency had a number of debts to collect from Sam, a delinquent debtor. The agency sent Harry to see Sam and present him with a demand for payment that was drawn to resemble a court summons. Harry delivered the demand, but before he departed, threatened to "beat up" Sam, and inform Sam's employer that he was a "deadbeat," if he did not pay the debt promptly. The Strong Arm Collection Agency must be licensed in the province in which it operates, and if it repeatedly uses methods of collection prohibited by the statute, its licence to operate may be revoked.
