We'll raise after-hours contact and the threat-of-action under ASIC Debt Collection Guideline §16. Outcome we'll ask for: stop after-hours contact, no further threats, written acknowledgement of the breaches.
We'll raise that the limitation period appears to have passed for this debt, based on the last payment date (Limitation of Actions Act 1958 (Vic) s5). Outcome we'll ask for: cease collection action, mark account closed.
