Caller: Credit Corp


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

I called back the number (03) 6217 9827 and reached vm that did not mention the company name

Caller: Debt collection agency

Called back, spoke to a Sarah.
Claimed that a college must of called, said they were in Brisbane... Hobart number listed on my phone.
Said they work on behalf of many companies when asked who called.
Definitely debt collection agency.

This number called ,and when asked what company they were ,who they where resenting all I got was this is a personal sensitive matter
And very rude

No-one there when I answered, then the line disconnected. I called back ... young lady with American accent said they were trying to chase a person surname Williams ... told her I've had several calls asking for a Williams over the past dozen years, no-one of that name known at this number. Asked her three times what the name of her company was, she wouldn't tell me but said she would check details against my number and 'rest assured you won't be contacted again'. Why do I doubt that?!
Would second-guess that this is (as reported elsewhere on this page) a debt collecting agency.
