I have a younger brother that is bed ridden in hospital with terminal cancer.
These people are constantly calling his phone , I have told them numerous times of my brother's situation, their reply" we will call back in a week and see if his health has improved as we need to talk to him " !!!!
WTF is wrong with these people ?

Baycorp Debt Collectors

I do not have any outstanding debts so I have no clue as to why they are calling me.
Will be blocking the number now.

Yes debt collection, always calling for wrong name. Just FYI bad debts are cleared after 5 years if you move pay or ignore. It’s only 7 years for bankruptcy etc they buy the debt for around half the price or less then claim the full amount off you.

Do not ever confirm your name etc, after 5 years "your" contract w them runs out and the debt will be gone, as long as it is not a government debt (such as court fines)

Baycorp- had no dealing with them. Don't remember owing anyone in my life. Way ahead with my mortgage payment. Yet still receive phone calls every three days. They ask for my personal details first, allegedly to confirm my identity and refuse to tell me what's the call is about. It's absolutely harassing. Have emailed to it's website to request the company to stop. Otherwise I'll go to the police to report them as malicious caller.

Its Baycorp, a debt collection agency,
If they get on to you, they ask personal details of you, to confirm who you are.
You do not have to answer these questions, as you most likely have had no dealings with this company.
They have no physical address that you can call into
They often call from NZ
They will ring incessantly often with a blocked number
They ask if you mind the call being recorded, you can say no and the call should be terminated.
For all one knows they maybe a scam agency.
You can inform them that you are recording this call, and the call should be terminated.
After 100’s of calls I now treat it as a sport but am tempted to form an internet group to sue the pants off these guys for harassment, they are claiming to be protecting our privacy, but are only harassing.
Ps, I have all the receipts from all my bills and they are up to date.
Pps I have emailed them and they still persist in calling (from a blocked number mostly) and asking for personal details. Yet they won’t even acknowledge my email
ADVICE
Ignore
And if you really do have a debt ignore them as well.

Baycorp Debt Collectors.  I do have a debt and I'm on an arrangement because I lost my job.  I arranged to pay the original debtor an amount every fortnight which they agreed to but they "sold" my debt to Baycorp anyway.  Now I have to pay Baycorp.  And I do pay - never missed a beat, not once.But they call constantly (at least twice a week) to ask when I can clear the rest of the debt. They tell me to ask friends and relatives for a loan, or try and get a loan from the bank (BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE THEY REGISTERED A DEFAULT!  DERRRR.....)I have told them over and over I'll pay them when I can but I just wish they'd stop calling me.  It's stressful.Surely they are breaching some sort of law.If I'd broken my arrangement I could see their point but it's ridiculous.

They are one of the 2 big debt collection agencies in Australia. Westpac uses them, as do other banks. I think some state governments also use them for unpaid fines.
I think those 2 big companies are also the credit reporting agencies in Australia.
So they'll give you bad credit for 5 years, or 7 years if they think you've moved.
Perhaps the debt is from something innocuous like a parking fine or video library overdue fee.
I do have a debt, and they do call INCESSANTLY. Its not legal for them to call so often, and its also not legal for them to refuse to provide a list of what the money is owed for.
They mostly hide their number when they call.
For those reasons I don't answer their calls.
We'll see how it plays out...

repeated calls
