    Holidays are officially over - just got my first debt collection call of the year.

    Optus sold my debt to them, I never paid my last bill due to the Optus data leaks. Sorry not sorry.

    I’m never gonna buy a house or anything, or take out a loan, so why should I care? Besides that, my only debts are HECS/HELP and my TAFE fee (which I pay in installments by DD every month).

    YOLO 🤷🏼‍♀️

      I’ve got something outstanding (student union stuff) from latrobe uni from about 10 yrs ago. $111. they sent it to me 5 years after finishing the course lol. No letter, no email. Just sold it off to billchaser. 5 years! Get spammed every few days over sms. I should block the # but they make me feel loved. I ain’t payin’.

          Defs automated. Latrobe has had its financial struggles over the years so no surprise they’re selling debt.
