Do you have any other alternative to what action to take with credit corp? With debt hassling and legal threats?
I suggest you start a new thread and provide some details of your circumstances. We can’t help if we don’t know what is going on.
While I cannot speak for Credit Corp or any collection agency, I am confident their "deals" (e.g. pay x by y and we will freeze interest) will be valid a few weeks from now once you are satisfied you owe the money.
First things first, tell them you will only liaise by email (say you have laryngitis if you don't feel comfortable telling them that you just want it all in writing because you don't trust them). You could offer to conditionally accept it i.e. "I will pay $1000 by (date) and $100 p/w thereafter with the interest rate at 0.00% providing you furnish me with x, y and z." It would probably be easier to ask for any and all information held by Credit Corp as regards the debt.

You mean subsection 188(3) of the National Credit Code - not the NCCP (National Consumer Credit Protection Act). The Code is the schedule to the Act.
The provisions of section 188 don't work the way it appears you intend. The provision is about who has to comply with the obligations of the Code as the credit provider - the original lender or (for example) Credit Corp as the company the credit contract is assigned to.
Subsection 188(3) provides that if the original lender continues to receive payments, then the original lender has to comply with the Code. But, 'receives' is deceptive. You can't force the original lender to receive the money, it has to be their conscious decision to keep it. If they refund, reject or forward the funds on to Credit Corp then they aren't receiving it.
In any case, subsection 188(3) has no bearing on the proof of ownership of the debt.
