When Roger Trachsel offered up his basement suite to a man through an ad from Kijiji in the spring of 2023, he never thought it would go so downhill.He says problems quickly arose. After only a week, Trachsel caught his new tenant stealing his wedding ring and promptly evicted him.“A bailiff from Recoveries of Manitoba showed up at my door,” Trachsel said.
The bailiff arrived looking for Trachsel’s former tenant and was to seize Traschel’s vehicle. The bailiff explained the former tenant had taken a photo of Traschel’s Toyota Venza and used it as collateral to get a loan from Quebec-based BHM Financial.“He got a personal loan and when he didn’t make any repayments towards that personal loan, the financial company put a lean on my vehicle,” Trachsel said.
“If this were a reputable big bank or credit union that does this on a regular basis, they would know what the rules are whether they were operating through lawyers or their own staff,” MacPherson said.As for Trachsel, he says he’s learned a valuable lesson.Chihuahua found covered in human waste at conservation area bathroom in Ontario
