They either don't leave messages, or they trigger your voicemail recording and leave a split second of weird-a** audio and hang up. Creepy weirdos calling, no idea who these cretins are but what they're doing is illegal, immoral and an abuse of the telecommunications services. People conducting themselves in these ways should be banged up in the clink indefinitely until they learn how to properly use telecoms. I've said it once and I'll say it 1,000 times. When Telstra was Telecom Australia and government-owned, if someone harassed/threatened/made nuisance stalky repeated calls to you, even repeated creepy silent hang up calls via fixed phone (not that many people had mobiles in those times), you would call Telecom, report it and they would put a trace on your line and monitor it for you. If that someone called you again, they would catch out the perp, they would be able to pinpoint the origin of the call and they would call them and give them a stern warning to stop their conduct or they would be reported to the cops and prosecuted. It worked every time, it stopped the behaviour. In other words, customers of Telecom Australia were PROTECTED as well as RESPECTED. This should be the case for mobile phone account holders too, especially law abiding ones who are minding their own bizzo and working hard and paying bills and taxes. Bring back those days of early 1990s and RESPECT telecommunications and all customers. Don't get me started on use of the internet. I'll try and put this comment in for each and every number that I end up blocking. These spam warning services are about the only we can collectively best these modern day pests and fight back against this wasteful and immoral conduct. Block these numbers.

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: credit corp

I switched my phone to private and just kept spamming them with calls back. I never say a word, just leave them saying hello until they hang up........then I will call them back again and do the same thing. It starts to really annoy them in the end......oh revenge can be sweet sometimes. I would suggest everyone do it from any number they call you from. If enough people do this then it cuts back on their time to annoy others.

Caller: Credit corp

Tried threatening to call my father in law, tried other coercive actions all which failed, all over $1500. I would have paid but can’t since I can’t work due to an accident

Scammers. Chasing someone else's debt and threatening me. Totally illegal!

Caller: Heather

Rang looking for a family member of Ronald and refused to identify what company she worked for,just stating that she worked for a group of companies definitely a debt collector these people have no souls and one day they they will be harrassed by little insignificant Mormon’s who thrive and threaten some poor individuals who have fallen into hard times yeah you go Heather because just remember what goes round comes around 😂😂

Caller: Credit Corp

They are relentless, ringing endlessly for two years now. I've told them repeatedly that I dispute the amount owed but they never listen. They've spent two years chasing a $500 debt, which I believe is not the correct amount.

Caller: Credit corp

Give them nothing
This is not a business to buy debt from banks and financial institutes for penny and then chase you for the amount owed. How the gov allows this is beyond belief . The commission into banking did nothing to stop bad practise in this country if anything they want to relax laws again to get economy going .
Give them nothing they can’t do sh*t , if they could the bank would have done it already 👍🏼

Don't pay these idiots a cent.
If debt is over 6 years old you don't have to pay anything...even less time in NT.
These vultures buy debt from CITIBANK e.g amount owed say $10,000 they would buy this for say $650 and they want you to pay them $10,000
Why do CITIBANK DO THIS....they could have got the $650 from the borrower instead of selling debt to these OUTLAWS.
Hang up...don't give them any information.

Caller: Credit Corp

They buy debt for a fraction of what is owed from CITIBANK.
Then they want the full amount owed and in addition charge exorbitant interest rates.
Why do Citibank do this? If they gave the borrower the chance to pay the amount Credit corp buy debt the borrower would pay it.
These guys are low life VULTURES.
Blocked

It's like Whack-a-Mole, block this one and they turn up somewhere else.

phoned back and got Christina. Had to ask who was calling, she said credit corp and give her a reference number. I didn't, because I don't have one. She was in the Phillipines. Clearly a scam.
