For Potential Clients Outside BC - Alberta
Commercial debt collection in Alberta and British Columbia is highly government regulated. Collection agencies are audited yearly and there are strict guidelines. However, a collection agency in BC is able to access information databases that even lawyers can’t. Most collection agencies in Alberta and BC handle consumer debt collection and do not have all the commercial credit investigation tools for collecting commercial debt.
There is a two year statute of limitation on suing accounts in Alberta and BC. If a debt is older than two years, or over two years from the date of last acknowledgement of debt, then you cannot sue for payment. There are exceptions but few and far between. The debt is still valid for six years, but cannot be pursued through the civil courts. Keep the two year limitation in mind when debating on whether to list an Alberta or BC commercial credit account with a collection agency.
BC has probably the most efficient Small Claims Court in Canada. Debt over $35.000 must be pursued through the British Columbia Supreme Court. There are many restricted and unrestricted online data information registries in BC.
Federally, Canada has privacy laws with teeth. Information and the laws governing credit information in Canada, are far more restrictive than the United States. If you use a collection agency that is not licensed and bonded in Alberta or BC, you can be held liable for any inappropriate actions of that agency. To avoid any liability issues , it is wise to use a fully licensed collection agency.
