Caller: Panthera Finance

Panthera Finance - they contacted me asking for information about a relative. Not a scam, it’s definitely a legitimate company trying to reach people who owe money. Safe unless you’re in debt!!!

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.

Always calling and asking for other persons information as they have debt with Panthera Finance and sending messages to track down relevant personal or where about of other persons? Who would disclose other persons information?
Bloody it is a privacy breach...

If the banks and not providing support when it is required!!!!
why would some one respond to you to pay the Debt back?

It was VERY ANNOYING. A lady, Timony, called me from (07) 3535 9014, left me a message (only her name but not the business name) and asking if I can pass the message to my friend to call them asap. I'm just a friend and not family member of my friend, so I was very furious and asked Timony how she's got my number, and how she found out the connection between me and my friend. She told me that her company has got a list of people's annonimous phone numbers and mine was on it. Obviously breaching of the privacy law. She could not tell me what she wanted to talk to my friend about. Told her I was so unhappy and she said my number is deleted now and will never be contacted by them again. After an angry chat with her I called my friend who has never heard of Panthera Finance and never given private phone numbers to anyone. I trust my friend 120% that my friend would never have passed anyone's number. Panthera Finance is a joke!! Weird and super annoying scam.
