Caller: They refuse to say Called through asking for someone I didn't know. They became significantly abusive, saying they know that person is there any they owe money. I again repeated I don't this person and to stop calling and they became more abusive, telling me now they will come after me. Call ended after this.

Posted on June 6, 2024 Caller type: Debt collector Location: Australia
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.

I received a scam hoax phone call from (03) 6217 9875 on my unlisted phone number and they did not leave a message. I rang the number back and they would not disclose the company or any other details. They then asked me for my personal details and when I said I would not be providing it due to all the scams that have occurred they got abusive towards me. Block this number and do not give them any personal details.

This came through on my work number (I dont share that outside work purposes). I picked up the call but there was no one there. I called back and it went straight to hold, the hold message didnt say the company's name. Then one of those 'on hold messages' mentioned 'updating payment arrangements' so I am guessing debt collector but **I do not have any debts with anyone** so seems scammy to me.
