Assignment (sale) of non-existent debt
LLC "Optus", it turns out, also transfers non-existent debts to debt collectors. In November 2016, I received a notification from the debt collection company Pty. “Sergel” regarding the assignment of debt. My company owes Optus 6. 27 AU$ (a huge amount! Which must be handed over to debt collectors), but at that time it was still dollars and the amount of possible debt has not been converted. The total amount payable was AU$ 46. 27. Please send a justification for the debt. A Optus representative promised by phone to find an invoice, which he searched for 2 weeks, at the end he replied by e-mail that they could no longer intervene in the process because the debt had been assigned. That is, they do not have such a bill . Regulations of the Cabinet of Ministers 2. 1. and 2. 2. Paragraph 1 on the amount of debt recovery costs states that it may not exceed AU$ 17. -EUR. At present, debt collectors can no longer "add" 40-EUR to this amount, it is no longer legal. I have been paying my bills regularly until now, because I am a long-term customer of Optus. I did not receive a warning letter or an email either in 2019 or later. Since I had no idea I was in debt, this was the situation. In this case, the figures in the Sergel promissory note are, to put it mildly, approx. I am very disappointed with Optus and I am going to terminate the contract. But read about other complaints about Sergel on this site. I'm just surprised that a company like Lattlelecom is partnering with a fraudulent company.
