      Good day,

      After reviewing the complaint, the file is currently on hold the consumer should no longer receive  calls from TSI.

      We have requested the supporting invoices and balance letter to be mail out. Due to the Postal Strike, there will be a delay with the consumer receiving the documents.

      I've asked this collection agency, on many occasions, to not call me cause they're not receiving any sort of payment from me. They kept calling me, so I blocked their number. They continued to call me from numbers out of Montreal, and Winnipeg. I blocked those numbers too. They just called me from another number that ISNT a 1-800 number. I live in BC and they keep calling at 8:30am Ontario time. Which makes it 5:30am BC time. They keep waking me up, then when I answer they don't say anything. But I know it's them cause I call the number back and Transworld systems answers everytime. * ***** ******** **** ** *** **** *** ***** *** *** ** ********* ***** ****

      I have paid my account with **** **** through TSI, and they have not removed it off of my credit report. I would like this amount removed ASAP.

      Business Response

      Date: 29/08/2025

      Good day,

      After reviewing both the complaint and the account file in question, we would like to provide the following clarification:

      The payment on this account was received after the period in which reporting to the credit bureau had already occurred. As such, the collection item was correctly reported **** ** ********** **** *** ************ ***** *** ********** ****** **** ******* **** *** *** ********** ****** ************ ******* **** *** ** *** ****** ** *** ********** ** ****** ** ***** ******** *********** **** ** *** **** ********* ** *** ****** ********* *********

      Further, our records confirm that at no time did our office make an agreement or commitment to remove the collection item from the consumer’s credit report. The entry will remain and will follow the applicable limitation and retention period as prescribed by provincial law and credit reporting standards. Once that period has expired, the collection item will automatically fall off the consumer’s credit file without the need for further action by our office.

      I sent in a payment of 185.70 to settle an account in collections. When I called to notify of payment I was told that the account had been closed so no payment was needed from me to them!
      I requested my money back which I was told would be sent by mail. This was in July.
      I have spoken to a supervisor 2 times- the first time I was told the check was mailed August 1st. I have not received anything from them!
      I have recently been told another check has been sent August 7th. I still have not received my refund for the payment made in error.
      I’ve been waiting for my money back since July 7th.
