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!
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: Money chasing company

They were looking for a lady and kept saying her name. Under privacy act that shouldn't be allowed. They call always around dinner just to annoy us

Nuisance caller. People who do this are probably deserving of a visit to Centrelink :P

I believe it’s Creditcorp as they keep on and on trying several different numbers from different states. Extremely annoying worrying people given these uncertain times. As if the Coronavirus isn’t enough without vultures annoying people. GO AWAY!!

Caller: Credit Corp, Pioneer Credit.

This is probably Credit Corp or Pioneer Credit. These people are parasites who allow their call centre staff to commit offences daily by calling friends, relatives, neighbours, work colleagues, anyone they can get their hands on to harass people asking about the person whose debt they purchased from a finance company for anything from 5% to 10% of the amount owing. In my case the calls relate to my uncle whose phone number I have continued to use, my uncle relocated to Europe in 2016 and they were advised accordingly throughout 2017. There is no way they have ever had contact with him since then which automatically renders the debt statute barred, beyond that he passed away in 2020 and yet these parasites continue to call almost daily numerous times. Their calls from 100's of different numbers remain unanswered or blocked but they persist in their illegal activities. If only our regulators acted appropriately and treated these people as the criminals they are and pursued legal prosecution against the directors of these companies then we would all be free of their constant harassment, but our regulators do not care, as it does not affect their daily lives, you can complain continuously as I have all you like, nothing will ever be done to stop these people or bring justice. Never answer their calls, do not engage in conversation, if you accidentally answer, simply hang up.
