Caller: Credit Corp
This is Credit Corp - 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 (in this case Credit Corp), 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!
i'm a credit collector and they're 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: Credit Corp Some guy with a strong overseas accent rang me and asked for someone I do not know. They asked me for MY name, of which I said I didn't need to disclose that.
The guy got argumentive and questioned how long I had my mobile number for (24 yrs). He then demanded my name and my relation to this other person.
After I hung up, I rang back the number and the guy who answered didn't announce the business name but gave his personal name and how could he help. He was Australian, so local number.
I explained everything to him and eerily enough, he knew my first and last name. He matched up my name to my mobile. I told him the previous caller kept asking for my name and how I this other person, probably as a ruse to get me to say my name.
He said he'd flag my mobile if I get harrassed anymore and he said my credit score was fine and he was confused why this other person was calling me.
Don't know who to believe so I've blocked the number.
