WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does 03 9967 4050 keep calling about a debt I've already settled?
Collection agencies sometimes have outdated records or communication gaps with creditors. However, one contributor reported that despite sending receipts to 0399674050, calls continued. This suggests either the agency hasn't updated their system or they're not properly recording proof of payment. Always request written confirmation of receipt when sending settlement evidence to collection agencies.
What should I do if I receive a call from 0399674050 about an old debt?
First, verify the debt is legitimate by contacting the original creditor directly using their official phone number (not one provided by the caller from 03 9967 4050). If you've settled, provide documented proof. Send a formal written request to 0399674050 via registered post demanding they cease contact and acknowledge your settlement. Keep copies of all correspondence.
Can I report 03 9967 4050 for harassment if they keep calling after I've proven the debt is paid?
Yes. The ACMA accepts complaints about persistent collection calls, and the ACCC can investigate if the collection agency is breaching consumer law. Document each call from 0399674050 with dates and times, and include copies of your settlement proof. This evidence strengthens any formal complaint about harassment.
Is 0399674050 a legitimate debt collection agency?
The number is registered to NetSIP Pty Ltd, a VIC-based local service provider. However, one contributor's experience shows that even established agencies may fail to update records when debts are settled. Verify any debt collection claim independently before engaging with callers from 03 9967 4050.
What happens if I ignore calls from 03 9967 4050?
If the debt is genuinely unpaid and unresolved, ignoring collection calls may lead to further action. However, if you've already settled (like the contributor who reported 0399674050), continued calls after proof is provided may constitute harassment. Document the calls and take formal action rather than ignoring them.
Should I pay 03 9967 4050 to stop the calls?
No - not if you've already settled. The contributor who reported 0399674050 made this mistake by engaging repeatedly. If the debt is genuinely settled, paying again is unnecessary. Demand written proof of the outstanding balance from 03 9967 4050 before considering any payment, and verify it directly with the original creditor.
