Subject:  RE - Infosource Group

In 2000-02, we had dealings with these people. We ordered 2 items - 
Canadian Healthcare Directory and Canadian Healthcare Report. We 
received 2 sets of 3"x5" disks for Canadian Healthcare Directory- a 
format which is not acceptable in our Library system - returned them 
with their invoice (which was in the total of 466.84) for the other 
title we received a 61 page spiral bound book with an invoice for 
$543.89 (the original advertisement stated that for 475.00 we were to 
receive 4 quarterly editions). The 61 page book is all we received. I 
returned all to them by registered mail - It is interesting though - our 
order actually went to Health Policy Research Group - we were invoiced 
from Government Policy Research Group. In October 2002, I received a 
letter from Collection Corporation of Canada acting on behalf of 
Infosource Group of Companies (claiming non-payment) - I immediately 
sent them all the correspondence by registered mail also the receipt 
that the material which I returned by registered mail was received at 
their end by B.Ali. After that point, we were not contacted again. I 
would never deal with these people again. The material which was 
supplied was substandard and not of any use in our Library. Trust this 
answers your query.
