What to do if Winnipeg Parking Authority (City of Winnipeg) sends you to collections

These steps apply to most consumer debts, including credit cards, loans, phone bills, utilities and store accounts.

Check your credit report first. See what's been reported there. Check the original creditor (Winnipeg Parking Authority (City of Winnipeg)), the account number and the balance. Also check if any collections appear. Get your free credit score and report with Borrowell.

Request written verification. Ask the collection agency for the original creditor's name (Winnipeg Parking Authority (City of Winnipeg)), the account number, the current balance, the date of last payment, and proof they're authorized to collect. Send the request by email or registered mail.

Don't acknowledge the debt while you wait. A payment, even a partial one, or a written acknowledgment restarts the limitation period in your province.

Check the statute of limitations in your province. If the debt is past your province's limit, you can defend a lawsuit by pleading the expired limitation period. You have to raise it yourself. Ignore the claim and the court enters default judgment as though the limitation never applied. Check the limitation period where you live.

Settle or pay if the debt is valid. Collection agencies sometimes take a lump sum for less than the full balance. Get a letter confirming the agreed amount clears the account before you pay anything, and keep proof of payment.

File a complaint if they won't verify or they're harassing you. Your provincial consumer protection office licenses collection agencies and handles complaints about them. It has no authority over Winnipeg Parking Authority (City of Winnipeg) itself.

Get help if you can't pay. Talk to a Licensed Insolvency Trustee or non-profit credit counsellor.

What if I can't pay Winnipeg Parking Authority (City of Winnipeg)?

Winnipeg Parking Authority (City of Winnipeg) debts work differently from ordinary consumer debts, so the usual negotiation options don't always apply.

If you can't realistically repay what you owe, talk to a Licensed Insolvency Trustee. You may be able to reduce and eliminate the debt by filing a consumer proposal or bankruptcy. You can find one through the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy's trustee directory.

Which creditors have extra collection powers?

A few creditors have powers beyond the normal collection process. For these, the limitation and settlement steps above work differently.

Government debt is the biggest exception. The Canada Revenue Agency can garnish your wages, freeze your bank account, and register a lien on your property, all without a court order. It can also take your tax refund and federal benefits. Other government debts, like benefit overpayments and court-ordered support, carry similar enforcement powers.

Secured debt is the other case. If the debt is tied to an asset, like a mortgage or a car loan, the lender can repossess or foreclose instead of just suing you.

Toll roads like Highway 407 can block your licence plate renewal until you pay, and the usual provincial limitation period doesn't stop them.

If your debt falls into one of these, get advice specific to that type before you rely on the steps above.

Can you deal with Winnipeg Parking Authority (City of Winnipeg) directly?

Sometimes. Contact Winnipeg Parking Authority (City of Winnipeg)'s billing department and ask if the account can be recalled from the collection agency.

Some companies take the account back if you arrange payment directly with them. Others won't. Once it's assigned, you deal with the agency.

Even if you pay Winnipeg Parking Authority (City of Winnipeg) directly, the collection entry on your credit report doesn't disappear. It updates to show as paid, but the record stays for six years in most provinces.
