Imagine fielding an unexpected call from a number that claims to represent a debt collector. The voice often refuses to name a company, cites confidentiality, and pressures you for payment details. Such tactics are typical of third‑party agencies working on behalf of banks like ANZ. Hang up before sharing personal data, and verify the claim through the official lender’s customer service line. Keep a record of the call, note any reference numbers, and report the number to your carrier or a consumer protection agency. Never send money without confirming the debt, and consider blocking the number to reduce future nuisance.
The caller was aggressive and abusive.
Scam debt collector was rude and kept pressing for payment.
Originating from Auckland, this number is utilised by Collection house - avaliable at http://www.collectionhouse.com.au/ - who operate on behalf of ANZ, offering debt collection servises. Actually, it's an Australian company with a subsidary in Auckland... Frequently reported as a nuissance.
The caller didnt disclose their identity or the company they represented, citing confidentiality, which ended the conversation abruptly, it wasnt dificult to discover the truth afterwards
This is a debt collector, or so they claim, but it could be a scam.
The caller identified themselves as a debt collection agent.
A message with reference numbers was left, but it was apparent that they had dialed the wrong number.
