QLD Credit Corp Chasing a Debt - What are Our Rights?

[debtbusterz]

Dman, can you send me PM. I've got something here you should see. Not sure why people don't just go round to his house and sort him out.

Are you able to show me in private as well? I can't figure out how to send PMs on this site...

Hey guys, I read through all of this. Just copying my reply from https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2765115

I have unfortunately fell victim to his scam last week. I found this out by CBA giving me a call stating that they froze my account because of suspicious activity. I called them back to find out his bank account (in Queensland?) has been flagged. They say there is a a good chance that I'll get my money back (hopefully...)

I don't know how the system works but I hope all this can be traced back to him so that he can face jail time. Preying on the poor and suffering is absolutely vile and wicked.

Please avoid cantpaymydebt entirely.

15 years old debt... DO NOT PAID - STATUT BARRED DEBT - DO NOT PAID
Don't pay the dude $185 - Educate yourself for FREE

-----------------------------------------------------​

Friend of mine had a alleged $7500 debt with Pionner Credit. BUT WE BELIEVED THE DEBT WAS STATURE BARED FROM THE START

Apparently for a Credit Card sometimes back. He started getting phone call from them to them asking re-payment of the debt and offering payment plan all over the phone of course.

We requested in writting the following:

1. A copy of the relevant and lawful Terms and Conditions;
2. A true and certified copy (NOT photocopy) of the Original Credit Agreement with your organisation;
3. A true and certified copy (NOT photocopy) of any account statements from the date of signature of the alleged contract to this date.
4. Details of how the amount of the alleged debt was calculated.
5. A true and certified copy (NOT photocopy) of the deed of assignment.

Why true and certified copy ? Because those companies has no issue creating document to make you believe.

We also requested that all communication be made by letter addressed to a PO BOX.

• 
  
  
  • A person presenting himself as a "bailiff" but in reality a commercial agent (from his business card) came to my work place and residence looking for this person.
  • He ask me 3 times my name and I refused to gave me. He ask me if I was the person he was looking for and I refused to answer.
  • I proposed the bailiff a $10000 contract to help him to find this person or to pass on a message to this person.
  • Since he refused I ask this person to remove himself from my property - He did as he had no right to remain on the property once his implied right of access or invitation has be revoked.
  • I call back him back to know if he was at his office and meet him in the city to served him with a tresspass notice. HE WAS NOT HAPPY
  • The next saturday a call from a lady pretexting to be from an other company called. By the time she was talking I reverse the number and find she work with the commercial agent. Ask who contracted them. Told them that I had no contract with them and therefore could not discuss with them but a $10000 contract was on the table. She decline.
  • Call the firm that contracted them - a laywer debt collector in sydney - and gave them a rant. This firm told me that they do sometimes contract this company but not for any current case.
  • Two weeks after we received a letter from a law firm in Perth. Called the firm and ask about their letter. told them that we had no contract with Pioneer Credit, that we do not want any contract with them, that the debt was statute bared debt, that Pionner Credit did not provide document requested as their obligation and if they want to take the matter to court, we will be happy to apply for a Subpoena in matter to obtain the requested documents.
  • At this point the lawyer ask me if I was a laywer and I invite him to pursued the court process so he can found out. That at the end of the day I did not have to provide any information not to answer his question.
  • He hang up on me.
  • Then Pionner Credit offer to match $ for $ on the debt.... Giving a 50% discount on the original amount. - At this stage we have sent 3 letters already (not registered when they should have)
  • They call one more time where I basically call the Pionner Credit a lot little name all the time to the point he hang up on me after telling me that the conversation was recorded.....
  • IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR NOW AND NOTHING. - My friend still have to ask a credit score. We will follow up.

My knowledge on this is coming from many many sources.

Absolutely disgusting. There has to be something done about this to bring down all of his/these websites. Anyone have any progress on finding more about him, where he lives, where he's hiding, etc.?

Maybe report him to the Federal police? I'm trying to track him down as well

I’ve got some stuff too if you want to pm me also

Like many of you on this thread, I too have my doubts but every now and then I get some communication from Panthera finance that proves otherwise, just recently I received an email saying

“Please be advised we are a private company and therefore do not hold any copies of original Government documentation.

To assist in your investigation I have supplied relevant documentation in relation to the matter for your own perusal.”


I have not personally contacted Pathera Finance in any way since engaging with Andrew. If he was doing nothing and was a fraud why would I bet getting communications like this?

A bit quiet Mikeypooh - run out of avatars to use Andrew?

My wife and I also believed the story spun to us by Andrew Sellar. He promised to help but never did. We also paid him some money, although not a lot. He has never supplied a receipt and we have asked on numerous occassions. He also has never proven that he has lodged any forms in court, and again we have asked on numerous occassions. Always an excuse such as "I can not divulge my secret tactics or methods".

On three occassions he has promised a resolution to something Lion Finance has thrown at us but has never once delivered on those promises. At one stage not long ago, he admitted he was a lawyer and said he was slow in returning an email because he had lost his job and was looking for another. Have not heard back from him since.

As result of "trusting" Andrew Sellar, we now owe 10s of 1,000s more than the original debt and have been declared bankrupt with Lion Finance now trying to take our house. Andrew Sellar is definitely a scam and blazenly steals peoples money after making hollow promises.

Hope he gets what he deserves.

Good luck, I hope you get your issue sorted. If you check out other Credit Corp posts on here there is a good response from a legal person talking about the documents you can ask Credit Corp to provide. This will show how much they actually purchased the debt for. His name is Rob Legat. Check out the posts

Yes, it is indeed him, I will talk to his bank first and see what they can do to shut down his account , then I will contact the Federal police about his fradulent activities and all the regulating bodies to stop him from scamming more gullible people, then take legal action against him.

Hi Anna, I have tried to find out how much Lion Finance paid for my debt but I cannot find anything on the web site that you have suggested above. Can you please provide the link. Regards Michael

A lawyer, this clown? He spins more yarn than Sleeping Beauty. This guy hangs out in seedy bars, looking for loose women he can fleece fortunes from.

If Sellars is a lawyer, then he should be able to handle what we're sending his way without too many problems. I wouldn't mind betting he's actually in collaboration with the DCAs themselves.
