Debt collection

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 called back number (07) 3144 6369 spoke to a guy but could hardly her him because of the noise on the background.

Caller: Undisclosed.

Missed call from this number. Called back. "Mark" answered. "Who am I speaking with?" asked "Mark". I obviously asked "Who is Mark and whom are you calling on behalf of?" "I cannot disclose this information as it contains sensitive information that I can only disclose to (name)" "Oh okay..." "Am I speaking with a (name)?" Said "Mark". "I couldn't disclose if you're speaking to a (name) until it is disclosed who you are calling on behalf of as I believe that to be sensitive information" "It's really important that we speak with (name) about an important business matter." "Okay. Have a good day Mark" "But wait its really impor..." *I hang up*

This is how you handle these shlubs. Honestly quite proud of how smoothly I handled that.

Caller: (07) 3144 6369

When they don’t leave messages you know it’s debt collectors. They rang my aunty 8 times in 2 hours then next day they called 4 times ithat day, then they changed the number but last 2 numbers were different. It’s insane the way they harass. I guess people need to pay their bills but no one signed up for that type of harassment .

No message

Caller: Credit Corp

By the looks of this from seeing previous comments about this number, it seems to be the vultures of Credit Corp. I don't have a debt with them and will not reveal my personal details over the phone to some random person. Blocked of course!

Cheeky butts have so many numbers. I googled and rang them, no answer. I blocked them also.
