Send him a bill for the time you spent resolving this (at, oh, I dunno, 420
CDN/hour, that sounds about right) and ask when you can expect payment... if he
demurs, suggest that a collection agency needs to be involved. If he says that's
a bit harsh, well... laugh and ask how he likes it.

But that's just me. Dale Carnegie, eat your heart out.

When I tried to contact said lawyer after my chats with telcos and collection
agencies, I got his answering machine.  I was polite, but mentioned to him that
I had spoken with telcos and collections, and these companies stated I owe no
monies.  I furhter added that if I have to appear in small claims court, I may
avail myself of restitution of wages lost for missing work, for mileage
(Richmond Hill is an hour from me) and the like.

Being impatient, I also called back every 15 minutes thereafter until I got a
live one.

We shall see what transpires.  I may have to cave in and call my lawyer
cousin--hate doing things like that.

Why am I so anxious about this?  I mean, probably for the first time in my known
history where my finances are concerned, I'm absolutely sure that I'm right and
that 'they're' wrong.

And yet, trepedation ensues....

Called lawyer guy again and he's put in a call to his 'liason' to the telco. to
see what this is all about.  At least I got that much accomplished.

I guess seeing my name in the "Defendant No. 1" square on a "Superior Court of
Justice" draft kinda does strange things to me.

Eh, whatever...

-who has now spoken to Canada's Office of the Solicitor General... "Are you a
young offender?"  Well, no, I'm 36 and I have to pay 238 dollars for a cell
phone from 4 years ago... <click>
