WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
What should I do if Marshall Freeman from 07 2113 5805 calls claiming I owe a debt?
Do not admit to or discuss the alleged debt. Ask for the caller's full name, company ABN, and request written documentation of the debt be sent to you. Verify by contacting the original creditor directly using contact details from your account statement, not a number provided by the caller from 07 2113 5805. Legitimate debt collectors must provide written notice.
How can I verify if 0721135805 is a legitimate debt collector?
A real debt collector operating in Australia must have an Australian Business Number (ABN) and be registered with ASIC. Ask the caller from 0721135805 for their ABN and company name, then search the ABN register at abr.business.gov.au. Scammers often refuse to provide this information or give fake details. Never rely on information given over the phone.
Is 07 2113 5805 calling about a real debt I owe?
It's unlikely unless you have a genuine outstanding debt with a creditor who has referred your account for collection. Many debt collection scams target people with no actual debt. Do not assume the call is legitimate. Contact the original creditor directly using verified contact details to confirm whether your account has been referred for collection.
What if 07 2113 5805 threatens legal action or arrest?
Debt collection threats of arrest are a major scam indicator. Australian debt collectors cannot have you arrested for consumer debt. If the caller from 0721135805 threatens arrest, prosecution, or asset seizure, hang up immediately. This is a common tactic used by scammers impersonating debt collectors. Report it to ACMA (acma.gov.au) and ACCC Scamwatch (scamwatch.gov.au).
Can I ask 07 2113 5805 to stop calling me?
Yes. Tell the caller from 07 2113 5805 to cease contact and request communication by mail only. If they continue calling after you've requested they stop, this violates ASIC debt collection rules and you can report them to ACMA. Scammers often ignore such requests, which is another red flag. Block the number and report it.
Should I give payment details to someone claiming to call from 0721135805?
Never. Do not provide bank account, credit card, or any payment details to an unsolicited caller from 0721135805, regardless of what they claim. Scammers use fake debt collection calls to steal payment information and commit fraud. Always verify the company independently before making any payment, and pay directly to the original creditor's official payment method.
