Caller type: Debt collector
Location: United States
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 type: Call centre
Location: Australia
Caller: Seems dodgy

Called back and some lady answered. And she refused to identify her self for whole minute. She was like im jenna, i said "ok but where are you from what are you calling for what's the company etc. She replied im jenna who are you. Like what the hell just tell me the company i dont want your personal name. She wouldnt tell me till i gave my name over so i gave my sisters name lol. Basically she eventually said to shes from a call centre that handles wallet wizard, cash corp, sunshine loans etc

They was she reacted to me was very dodgy and very unsettling and honestly rude. I literally just wanted the company name

Ive applied for loans but always get emails no phone calls ans they always identify straight away who it is

I received a scam hoax phone call from dodgy Credit Corp (08) 8448 0678 on my unlisted phone number and they did not leave a message and when you ring the number back they will not disclose their organisations name so I blocked the number. The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) produces a Debt collection guideline for collectors & creditors https://www.accc.gov.au/publications/debt-collection-guideline-for-coll… Unnecessary or unduly frequent contacts may amount to undue harassment of a debtor. The ACCC recommends that you do not contact a debtor more than three times per week, or 10 times per month at most.

I have also received harassing phone calls from Credit Corp from the following phone numbers:
