Telstra sells debt illegally

Amongst others, the easiest targets are the elderly who often fall prey to deception, fraud, and just plain street crime - robbery.

One would assume that amongst corporations the elderly are treated more fairly, but that is NOt always the case.

In a recent article in the mass media, an elderly lady had acquired a telephone bill for approx $800, which was not paid to the service provider, Telstra.

The customer had argued that the bill accrued was not the result of her use, but it fell on deaf ears.

After a certain period, Telstra enlisted the services of debt collection agency, which was done ILLEGALLY.

The customers initial bill of approx $800, has skyrocketed to over $24,000 as a result of the debt collection agency's 'costs'.

In order to recover the 'cost's' the debt collection agency then proceeded to file the household owner for bankruptcy as a result of 'non-payment'.

Telstra has ILLEGALLY passed the initial debt to the collection agency.
