Typical collections agency bullying. We had the same thing happen to us when we were victims of identity theft. I guess from their perspective, EVERYONE says "you have the wrong person" or whatever. They can only be called off by the people who hired them.

It's still unpleasant though. Calls at 2am and borderline abusive in nature ("do you get off on stiffing people?" etc.) Jerks.

Talk to ICBC again and insist that they look into the collection agency calling you and that they be notified of this ASAP. If the calls persist, quite frankly, I think I would call the police and report this as harrassment.

The whole thing sounds fishy to me. I'd almost be calling a lawyer (traffic lawyer or whatever) to ask for advice. Even if the tickets were legit (which I gather they are not, this sounds like a system glitch??), if they are from 1991 there's no way anyone can talk about them and have any validity at this point. Is the issuing officer even still on active duty? 18 years is a long time. If the guy was in his 30's or 40's at the time, for all we know he could be retired. I don't see how anything from that far back can be legitimately processed.

Good luck!!
