Collection House. Debt collector asking for money from an non existant account that never owed any money. Go figure. I Asked for a signed contract and they could not provide one. End of story.

Caller: (02) 4908 7255

I do not know who the f*ck.
Asking me to disclose my personal information without telling whats the call about.
And keep saying i know who he is. i wanna swear, unfortunately im in the office dealing could not.
To know my personal information he should tell me who he is and what is this call about.
can anyone tell me how to report these bloody ass wholes who always bother people's life.

Call me again curry muncher, and i will kill you for free

Called quoting a real company name (Collection House) but has no real association with them. They will point you to the website as an intimidation tactic. My caller said he is based in Philippines. (The only oversea location they have seem to be in NZ). They acted very professional but don't let that fool you. Amounts owing seemed to always be between 250-300. I would be ecstatic if a 4 bedroom house electricity bill would be that cheap during winter. I would actually pay it if that was the case but it's not. They will offer credit card or BPAY payments. They will even try and be sympathetic, asking why you missed your payments (I spilled out a fake story of developing a heavy drug problem which lead me to prostituting myself and losing everything I loved). He just ignored it (how rude). I ask if they accept gift cards from Myers then offered monopoly money (apparently they do not accept either). We spoke for about 15 minutes until he finally gave up when I gave him a "credit card" number that contained alphabetic letters in it). He said he believed it was not a real card (oh really?!?) and then he hung up.

I've decided that I enjoy these calls as it gives me something to practice my improv skill.

I've also discovered that the more I mess around with them, the less frequent these types of calls have occurred, reducing from at least once a week to now once every 6 months.

I guess they have a do not call list.....

Constant calls from this number stating collection house, I have asked they send me a letter as I am not prepared to give my details to a caller without anything in writing and not knowing who the hell they are we all hear about identity theft this is how it happens so put it in writing fools

I got a call from them asking for more money than i owed so i rang the company and squared a payment plan with them.they Indian bitch that calls me several times a week is consistently rude and condescending. I informed her that i had made arrangements to pay off the remainder of my bill and she said that was unacceptable and required immediate full payment. I simply told her to jam her attitude, that I'll continue my current payment arrangement and hung up. f*ck them. They may initially be doing their jobs but that doesn't give them the right to be power hungry dogs.

Shut up, Phill.

Oh.. and you debt collectors can love your jobs all you like.

The fact you prey on people for money they possibly don't owe, and the fact you enjoy it makes you perfect for your blood sucking job.

I am sure I owe no money either. As previously stated by others, if I owed money - I would get a reminder from that company.

A few years ago I answered a call from Collection House regarding a telstra bill from 3 years ago that was never once questioned as unpaid or outstanding in all future bills, but suddenly it hasn't been paid.

I was immediately suspicious, checked my bills and there was nothing from Telstra ever chasing that bill as outstanding.

I called Telstra, and without looking into it - said it was outstanding - even tho I sent them 12 months of bills showing the bill was never outstanding. They still said I owed it - which tells me they ignore proof and prefer to sell 'dodgy' debts to Collection House.

Proof makes neither company money.

Very suspicious.

Where's a person's rights in that situation?

For under $300 I ended up paying the bill twice to make a problem go away.

Never again.

Well I dont want to have to verify myself to some stranger over the telephone. Why cant they just send me a written letter? I asked them to but they haven't, so stuff them.

I work for Collection House, and i am a Debt collector. I will call you all as much i F#@king want till you give in! I love my job! and you will pay or will find you and it will not end well.!!!
So call me and see what happens 0412 122 024 fools!

@financially healthy, pity the debt is for late video fees I told the store I would pay off and they declined my offer, and the debt is atleast 12years old, so they cant even collect it considering they've been neither able to confirm my phone number or address for atleast 10 years

I don't owe anyone any money and they've somehow got my phone number. I don't have any experience with collection agencies because I always pay my bills, but I have heard that collection agencies like this are just parasitic maggots. How did they get my number?

it all sounds a bit suss to me. They should be asking questions to verify who you are not sending a text message to get your attention. They should call, state who they are and proceed to tell you which supposed debt you have with them they are chasing. I asked them this and they hung up so avoid them. The only way they would give me the information was via mail, this was so they could get my address, more personal information. bugger that not with all the scams now.

f_u*c_k collection house

never ever will I give a stranger my full name, birth  details and address without knowing the reason I don't care if you have a fKn website for me to confirm your existence. These morons won't tell me why they are calling then dnt call me! I know for damn sure I have no debts apart from some s**t that happened years ago between origin and agl who played pass the parcel with my bills same meters two bills for the same period which when threatened with a complaint to the ombudsmen they dropped the issue. StillI've kept all my bills all this time cuz u never know! I'll surely lay a complaint this time round? If that's why these idiots are calling. They refuse to tell you the purpose of the call ?? Well hello I'm not putting myself out to be scammed so hell to the no I ain't giving personal details out. Suck a fat one! p.s they may also call as someone could have used you as a contact point for them... Apparently I was used once for my sisters bfAs an unrelated contact?? Who knows if someone doesn't tell you why they want your detail or on who's behalf they are acting for stiff them hang up and don't say s**t. Scam awareness b***hes.

I have been receiving these calls on and off for about a year. When I last spoke I did not confirm who I was and simply said if you are genuinely acting you will put your claim in writing.

To date I have received nothing in writing and have been at the same address for 8 years.

If I owed money I am sure I would have received reminders from the service provider or person they are acting for prior to the matter going to a debt collector.

Jsut received text saying "You return call is important. Please call JADE on (02) 4908 7255, quoting ref#4851 **** *** sent 14/08/09 @ 11.41

I always dodge a detail and they get stuck cos they can't talk to me! Im not avoiding them. It makes good sense to not give personal detaisl to a stranger over the phone.

Got a text message from 0427 767 723 advising me to call Megan on (02) 4908 7255 and quote a reference number. This is a collections agency called COLLECTION HOUSE, they're debt collectors.
