Natale Law Offices

I just received a call from an individual. Our office had dialed a wrong number, the individual was upset because she had received several calls. I confirmed we had the wrong number and the number was removed from the file.

If you have received a call and you are not the person who owes the money to my client please contact us as soon as possible. For contact information please go to www.natalelawoffices.com .

Responding to a Claim

In Ontario, a creditor can serve a claim in the Small Claims Court by mail and this provides the defendant, (the individual being sued) with time to file a defence. If you have received a claim from Natale Law Offices there will be no reference to "Draft", the document mailed will have a court file number and will have been signed by a clerk. This is a very important legal document which should be responded to. If received, it is appropriate to contact Natale Law Offices immediately if you believe you have a defence, or, if you are willing to make arrangements to repay the debt in order to avoid the creditor from obtaining a judgment against you.

Natale Law Offices-Demand Letters

If an individual who owes money to a creditor in Canada receives a demand letter from Natale Law Offices referencing an attachment which is a draft and which has no court file number and no clerk signature the attachment has not yet been issued by the court.

It is appropriate to contact Natale Law Offices and an assistant at Ms. Natale's office will be pleased to listen to you with respect and professionalism Please call 1-866-279-7542 or the number listed on the letter and have your file number available.

If after contacting Natale Law Office you feel you have been treated poorly or have a concern regarding how your file is being handled please contact Ms. Natale directly at 905-413-8748.

Draft Statement of Claim-Natale Law Offices

I received a call from a consumer/debtor who owed money to our client and had received a demand letter with a statement of claim attached. She was concerned and explained that she could not repay the monies owed because she had suffered a workplace injury and was unable to work and had no income. She expected to receive income replacement from WSIB and would at that time make efforts to call to see if she could address her delinquent account. She thanked me for listening and promised to contact my office once matters were resolved for her.

Provincial regulations

Civil files for the recovery of funds proceed through the provincial court systems. Accordingly, each province has its own rules and requirements for the issuance of a claim and the enforcement of a judgment. Currently, in Ontario all outstanding or delinquent accounts with a principal outstanding balance of $25,000 or less should be pursued in the small claims court. This is beneficial for several reasons, two of which are cost and efficiency.

Natale Law Office Draft Statement of Claim

It is very effective to send a draft statement of claim for our clients who are creditors. The letters are sent to people who owe money and those people respond to the letter in an increased percentage when it is sent from Natale Law Offices. Since the staff at Natale Law Offices are trained professionals who are polite and well trained consumers/debtors who call in to deal with their delinquent accounts tend to have a positive experience. If the wrong person has been contacted, information on the file is updated and forwarded to the client. Otherwise the staff at Natale Law Offices, under the direct supervision of Deanna Natale, and the consumer/debtor talk through possible solutions to assist them in repaying the funds that are outstanding. Often if funds are available clients of Natale Law Offices are willing to work with the consumer to avoid having a file proceed to litigation. Litigation is in fact a last resort for Natale staff and its clients, and this is obviously also beneficial to the consumer/debtor. There is nothing fraudulent about the letters, the demands are made for monies that are outstanding to legitimate clients. Occasionally the wrong party is contacted because they have a similar name, or previous address or previous phone number but more often than not, the proper party is reached and the file/activity proceeds. The best course of action for anyone who has received a letter is for them to call back as soon as possible and deal with the letter/demand.

If anyone has received a call and has any questions or concerns they can call Deanna Natale personally at 905-413-8748 and she will be happy to help. She is very pleasant to speak with. Also they can speak to a manager who will also be professional and courteous if she is not available and they have some concerns or a possible complaint.
