Credit Corp collections

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

Credit Corp. Block this number. Scammers looking for money
Do not answer.

no idea, no message, no clue so say HI to my friend BLOCKED!!!

Got a missed call from this number today. Thank you to everyone for saying who it was. They didn't leave a message. I don't answer numbers I don't know. I figure if they want me to return call they will leave a message. I too applied for a credit check through VEDA yesterday and checked contact via e-mail only.

Had a few missed calls from this number, rang back, took a while to answer, finally answered with a name. Told them I had a missed call, asked what company she was calling from & she told me she couldn't give me a business name. Wanted my details but wouldn't give me theirs! I don't think so. told her unlike me, she's clearly an idiot if she thinks I'm going to divulge any of my info without knowing who I'm talking to. Told her a few a things bout what I think of scammers like her! Hung up & BLOCKED!!

Call from unknown number, not answered, no message left. Hiya flagged as ‘suspected spam’.

Have called me several times trying to find my ex wife who I haven't seen for over ten years. They just don't get the message; "I don't know?"

I called back the number (07) 3144 6325 and reached vm that did not mention the company name

(07) 3144 6325 rang 2 times then goes to busy tone.
