Well, if you're not local (and I'm assuming you're not) a flying club
doesn't have the resources to go looking for you.

Funny that, because the collection guy called me on the same cell
number I left with Brampton as my contact number. Wonder where he got
it from.

And you can be sure they'll be HIGHLY motivated by the 15% they can recover!

Well, in this case they obviously got the attention of somebody who only
owed $15, right? We had one guy who owed us $6,000 and we spent literally

That was exactly was ticked me off. I was not trying to defraud them
out of their money. I was not aware that I owed them money (I was sure
I paid the landing fee when I was buying fuel at CYOW). If they'd have
called me two years ago, I'd have happily paid them then. If they'd
have called any time during these two years, I'd have happily paid
then. They could have just charged it to the credit card I left on
file with them. Instead, they treated me like a thief.

I don't know if they got a new eager accountant or what. Maybe at the
time, they decided that the $15 charge wasn't worth the long distance
call and the credit card overhead. And then when they got a new
accountant she decided to go through their books and see what "debts"
she could collect and just shipped them all off, wholesale, to
collection.
