Letter to the editor on Dawson Creek collection agency licence issue
A reader criticizes last week’s news coverage of a Dawson Creek collection agency licence revocation. The writer clarifies that Progressive Bailiffs (Chetwynd) operates under its own licence, distinct from the Dawson Creek franchise, and contends the article misled readers by omitting key facts about the Chetwynd agency and its 1989 licence. The letter aims to correct assumptions and urge accurate future reporting.
