In a thread posted earlier today a person posted a long story about getting a call from the offices of Paul Kupferslime and being told that he had to pay 800.00 by tomorrow or they would go to court and it would cost him $2000.00. I sent him a copy of a debt validation letter etc. I did not catch the fact that he was in Toronto. The guy from Kupferslimes Office gave him an address of their Toronto office to send the money order to. My guess is it is just a mail drop. Is it possible that Kupferslime actually is licensed to practice law in Canada? If he is really a lawyer to begin with. I would think that the person in Canada would have nothing to worry about but I am not sure. I really could use some help for this neighbor to the North. It is posted today as Paul Kupferstein. Thanks

All collection agencies must be licensed in the state where the borrower resides. Besides, since this CA is based in Canada, they have to first get the permission from the US govt before they are allowed to do their business here. There is a complete thread on this CA in the creditors and collection agency forum. Most of the posts explain about their illegal activities. I for one will be extra cautious before dealing with this foreign company. File your complaints with the AG's office and the BBB.

The borrower lives in Canada. The CA is based in Boston Mass I believe. The loan was from the internet. I don't think that the law firm is licensed in Canada. I guess I did not explain that well enough!

Kupferstein is the only licensed lawyer at "The Law Offices" (as they like to call themselves, though we all know they are licensed to do business as Liability Solutions). The owner of LSI, and the guy that signs Kupferstein's checks, is Jay Cowen, who is not a registered barrister. Nor is any of the other employees, though with the names they give, I am not even sure if there are "other employees".

Now, is LSI registered to collect on debts from Canadian residents? It's possible. I have not be able to confirm that.
