Getting a call from a debt collector can be stressful, especially from an unknown number. CollectionAgencies.ca lets you quickly check who is calling, why, and if the agency is legitimate.

You can search by company name on the collection agency directory, or browse by province for local debt collection agencies. Each profile lists addresses, phone numbers, accreditation, and the types of debts collected.

If a collector is contacting you, remember you have rights. Debt collectors must follow strict rules about how and when they contact you. Look up the agency first so you know who you are dealing with before you speak to them or share personal information.
