Debt collector, wouldn't give me any details untill I confirmed my ID which I wouldn't do, he kept saying it was a private matter so I told him I'd respect his privacy and hung up on him...I don't owe anyone money.

Baycorp debt collectors

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.

this appears to be a number for a collection agency who will only respond once you confirm you name, which is how they track and trace you

Number hangs up when I answer after 6 or 7 rings. Pretty sure it's a debt collector but I'm a current bankrupt so they chasing thin air.

I called back number (07) 5512 2464 rang once then gets disconnected automatically.

Either Debt collector or a scam.

Got two missed calls from (07) 5512 2464. Won't tell me who they are. Switchboard for a "number of different companies". Can't find my details so don't know why they called me. Twice. Have just blocked the number. So annoying.

I had a call from a guy looking for a "scott" he then hung up on me , something not quite right

I called back number (07) 5512 2464 just kept on ringing no one answered the call and never got any voice mail.
