Complete Credit Solutions Pty chasing Oz debt in UK

[minito]

Hi Guys,

 

I'm new to cag, so I hope what I'm putting is ok.

 

I have read most threads if not all on here about similar cases

but I wanted to start my own to get some advice that is specific

as there is so many different things being said.

 

Are Complete Credit Solutions Pty registered with AU FOS or Asic or should they be to carry out collections?

 

Thanks for any answers in advance.

if so ignore!

[dx100uk]

Sorry D, might be that I have been staring at the computer for about 4 hours now, reading but I am trying to understand your last post, apologies.

[dx100uk]

try now might have been spelling or predictive text....

[minito]

Ah haha yes makes sense now. Most of the threads I read were never finished and a couple actually had court papers filed which they opposed but then never finished the thread so that made me want to ask some questions.

SD do issue UK court claims for Aussie debt collectors, so keep an eye on your post. You don't want them getting a default UK court judgement because you ignored court papers issued by a court.

 

You don't have to respond to SD, but do read the letters.

 

What Aussie debt is being chased ? Do you own any UK property ?

[minito]

Hi Guys, sorry never saw this last post, as just left things.

 

No I do not own property in the UK.

 

I have no idea what it is to be honest, as the amount stated has about 8000 fees added to it.

 

It is statute barred now and they are calling people from facebook from australia who my family are connected with on facebook.

 

Is there an authority in Oz who can be contacted to stop them doing this?

 

Many thanks

 

I think it is Statute Barred now or in the next couple months, I think it is either a CC or Phone contract that they wouldn't cancel.

[dx100uk]

Ignore them nowt they can do to you.

 

 

if you wish

report them to the ICO FCA etc

they should not be calling other people esp via facebook!

[minito]

Thanks dx100uk,

 

They are calling from Australia I think, saying to family members they know me and my mother and that they need our contact details, arrghhh.

[unclebulgaria67]

I think it is safe to ignore any company that resorts to silly tactics like contacting friends of debtors on Facebook. No professional outfit is going to do this, as they can use tracing agents in the UK and then get Solicitors involved if they are interested,

 

Sounds like a bottom of the barrel debt chaser.

 

You can complain to Aussie regulatory authorities about this behaviour if you wanted to.

[minito]

Thanks uncleb,

 

They have SD acting for them here also but those tactics are coming from them in Oz on there Sydney number, I guess as SD would be slapped for that conduct here.

[unclebulgaria67]

Have SD actually written to you at your current address ? If so why is a debt collector in Sydney bothering to phone people you know on Facebook ?

[minito]

No the letters are going to an address I am not at and haven't been for years, just happen to know the people there now.

[unclebulgaria67]

No the letters are going to an address I am not at and haven't been for years, just happen to know the people there now.

 

Get the people at the other address to return the letters marked addressee not at the address, believed to have gone back to Australia. SD might then just decide they can't deal with it.

[minito]

Ok good idea, thanks uncleb.
