Hi, Is any method through which Australian authorities may recover their credit taken by people overseas...for example India or Pakistan?what if such people have no intension to comeback to Australian in their life time?

FMD...!

You might as well paint a target on your back and go for a stroll through down town Baghdad...

Pollyana

They send dropbears after the offenders, armed with penknives, to gouge out their eyes when caught...........

You may scoff but I'd advise against walking under any trees

Vash the Stampede

Not hard to see the direction this is going, is it?

I think this is the moment that we've all been waiting for!

It's, IMHO, a shocking question to ask (unless the OP's command of the language, or lack thereof rather, inadvertently made the question more sinister than he/she meant it to be).

In the "immigration" thread, many posters have shared with us their agony at seeing the withdrawal of $100,000 investment scheme for 5 bonus points. The rather abrupt removal of the scheme was in large, due to the scheming mind of a person (from a particular ethnic background) to illegally help potential immigrants (again, from a particular sub-continent) pass the 120 point mark. The action(s) of a few greedy/unscrupulous persons have now inconvenienced thousands of otherwise legitimate would-be immigrants.

And now we have a question of this sort posted by someone (mayhaps from India/Pakistan, at his/her own suggestion) ...

Given the OP's past comments about disliking Australia, I'm pretty sure his intentions aren't exactly innocent.

To me it certainly sounds like he's intending on racking up a lot of debt before he heads back to where he came from. Not a smart ideo in my opinion.

My interpretation of the sometimes present, depending on how much of his 1gig for the months bandwidth he has used, quirky & sometimes entertaining Smurtazas question to be.... can he nick orf back to Mumbai, with a suitcase full of red hot Australian bounty courtesy of Visa and Mastercard. Go for it Smurt, bad debt is one of the reasons why the cards interest rates are so high. It would be nice to see someone finish in front. Make sure you give some of your ill gotten gains to one of your servants


Just let us know what your taking back, could be damn intersting. How many Boomerangs can you fit in a case ?

Are you thinking of doing a runner?with the cash!

You need to research the history of this poster

Leaves town to avoid telstra bill

Trys USA but realises they heard about telstra

Trys UK but can't get in - no history of pillaging or details of convict ship
but records of telstra may have something to do with it.

Tried some african country - but returned due to culture shock - they did not have telecoms company.

Trys Sydney

Trys Melbourne, but:

Lends credit card to "friend" who absconds after using card to book overseas flight

Can't get accomodation in Melbourne because:
- car has been impounded
- People remember Telstra

Common theme this ?????

smurtaza

Telstra have already failed to recover a single cent.It seems there is no way of recovering the actual money from India/pak then interest thing come as a secondary.

So how big is the oft-mentioned unpaid phone bill?

I think you'll find that that statement isn't true. The skilled migration scheme changes had been announced months before they actually came into effect.

ex_exile

No, well yes but..... the changes were announced to be brought in for post September 1 2007 applicants but because of the fraud the state treausuries have refused to take the bond from pre September 1 2007 applicants which means that poeple are unable to claim the extra 5 points and obtain a visa.

Lots of people (5000 at last count) are pissed about this.
