credit corp impersonating the tax office

Caller: debt collector

debt collector
they keep on knockin but they cant come in lol

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.

Caller: Scammers

Scammers and conartists trying to get your details and take your money. They are fake debt collectors. Ignore and block these crooks.

Caller: Sneaky debt collector

it's credit corp I believe. Gosh, these guys sure have a lot of phone numbers!!! and they pretend to be someone else to get the information they may need.

I called back number (02) 8024 9406 reached voice mail but did not say for what company.

Caller: Sheila

I called back with my call ID blocked and asked what this number was associated with. I was told it is the phone number for a group of companies including Credit Corp, Money Smart(?) and the call I received (but did not continue with) may have been regarding someone I know, not necessarily me.
I don’t believe any of this and am glad I did not reveal any personal information.

I called back number (02) 8024 9406 spoke to a woman but did not say from what company.
