Caller: Credit corp

These losers will not stop calling. Several times a day, many different numbers. Not giving them a single dollar on principle.

Anyone know who this is? Keeps ringing once or twice a week and just hangs up when I answer.

Debt collection agency attempting to recover money by blowing out the phones of third parties that may or may not know the subject of the alledged debt.

They attempt to call parents, siblings, cousins, neighbours, work colleagues, anyone even remotely associated with the subject or their lives in the hope they can get to them. What they do is illegal, and they can safely be ignored.

When a bad debt is passed onto a debt collector, the agency purchases the debt for 10 to 20 cents in the dollar and then attempt to collect the FULL amount from the original borrower (plus interest).

However, what most people are unaware of is that once the debt has been purchased by a third party , the debt has been expunged for the original borrower, and that is the end of the matter. The only signature from the borrower is on a contract between the bank/credit provider and the borrower. There is no signed contract between a debt collector and the original borrower.

Therefore, do not admit or agree to anything a debt collector says on the phone, as they will attempt to trick you into entering into a contract with them (if you're the original borrower they are after) and try to get you on a 'payment plan'.

The statute of limitations means they can only chase you for a maximum of five years, but if you admit to anything or enter into agreement with them (even verbally), then that resets and you can be harangued another five years or until you've satisfied the needs of these vultures.

Your best bet is to avoid them like the plague, legally they have no clout. All they have is intimidation tactics on the phone. Weak!
They are legally only allowed to call 3 times a week or 12 in a month, but that is IF YOU ANSWER. so answer the call & just hang up & they won't be able to call again.

These annoying people have been calling me more than 10 times a day from numerous different numbers for the last three to four years, I have told them repeatedly that I am not the person they are seeking but they just keep calling. I am certain by now the person they are after has either passed away or the debt they are pursuing is most likely statute barred. They are really annoying and their behavior must be bordering on criminal in breach of privacy and other legal guidelines. It appears nothing can be done to stop them as they continue to indiscriminately harass people.

Caller: Finance Instituon

Caller was chasing my ex wife. He asked if she still lived at my address and who may be her next of kin. I said she didnt live here anymore. He asked if I can pass on a phone number and reference number to her or her next of kin. I said yes. I took down the phone number and reference number. I then asked look, this is rather daunting because I know nothing about what company you are from. He said due to privacy reasons he cannot disclose. I then asked may I be told what industry you are in? He said I work within the finance industry. I acknowledged that and that is all I ever needed to know. My ex wife was terrible with money, ringing up our credit cards, borrowing money off her parents and not paying it back etc. It will be of no surprise to me reading these comments that it has something to do with the credit industry chasing up debts. I'm going to love putting these details into an envelope and have the kids pass it to her after their next visit. lol

We had an acquaintance call and advise us that this number had called him asking about our daughter - how he knows her and where she is.
We called the number and asked why they were asking about our daughter and were not told anything or who the company is.
I want to know how they got this friends number and how they know he knows our daughter, along with why they called him of all people and why they wouldn't give company name
