Caller: Debt Collector

She's looking for someone I don't know and forced me to owned up to the name. And when I asked where she's calling from she said it's about a personal debt and she got the number from a public database. Are these people crazy???? First forcing you to owned up to a name you don't know, second asking you to pay for a debt of someone when they're not sure if they are calling the right person!

Caller: Don't know

I wish they just f*ck off as whoever it is or what is I don't who or what they are even when I've told them to f*ck off and leave me be I get my ringing to numbers I've never seen before, they should just f*ck off

I called back number (02) 8024 9480 reached voice mail but did not say from what company.

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.

Missed multiple phone calls from this number. Called back to see what it was about, lady answered and provided her name but did not provide the company she was working for when I asked. She tried to ask for my first and last name, address and date of birth. Refused to provide information because she did not tell me what it was regarding or who she was representing.
