===If you dispute the debt===
You can dispute a debt. You might do this where the debt has already been paid, it’s someone else’s debt, or the debt collector is asking for more than you owe.

When you dispute a debt, you’re saying you would like the creditor (the party who is owed money) to take the matter to court. Once you do that, the debt collector must stop communicating with you.

To dispute a debt, you need to contact the creditor in writing. Consumer Protection BC provides a form you can use. [https://www.consumerprotectionbc.ca/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Debt-in-dispute.pdf Visit their website].

Meanwhile, if you think the debt collector has the wrong person, you should tell them in writing. The Consumer Protection BC website has a form you can use for this, too. [https://www.consumerprotectionbc.ca/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Not-the-debtor.pdf It's on their website].
