Got a call today from some company called ICS about a bill for a house I left not long ago. They were demanding money for some utility charges. Sounds dodgy to me - feels like a scam!

Was really unpleasant and pushy on the phone, claiming I owed money to a firm I’ve never even dealt with before. Proper rude behaviour.

I’ve been getting calls from 01132977530 for like two years now, always asking for the same person. Every time I tell them to stop and complain, they say they’ll remove my number linked to that name from their system. But they just keep ringing anyway!

Got a call from ICS Collections, they're chasing me for a debt or something. Quite annoying really.

They called us straight away, despite the fact that we don't owe anything to Scottish Power.

I'm trying to get my head around what’s mentioned on Martin Lewis's website, but I've drawn a blank regarding this particular number. Is there anything related that you could point me towards?

They keep ringing my number, and every time I try to return the call, the automated message zips by so quickly that I can’t make head or tail of it!

This so-called firm wouldn’t share any details with me, so I decided to keep my cards close to my chest as well. I informed the caller that, under data protection regulations, I wasn’t inclined to reveal any information to them either!

Leeds Consultancy Services seem to be in the business of debt collection for EDF, Southern Electric, and Scottish Power, among various others. If you're keen on digging deeper into their questionable practices, do check out Moneysavingexpert.com - there’s plenty of information regarding their less than savoury methods!

We’ve been receiving persistent calls from folks asking for a ‘Mr Johnson’, yet we are definitely not him! Every time we’ve attempted to find out who’s behind the calls, they just hang up without a word. It's become quite tiresome, really!

I keep receiving calls from these individuals, and ever since I stumbled across Martin Lewis' site, I'm feeling quite uneasy about it all.

Consulting services in Leeds appear to be involved in debt collection for firms like EDF, Southern Electric, and Scottish Power, among others. I came across some information on MoneySavingExpert.com that sheds light on their rather dubious practices.

This phone number is part of a series linked to LCS, which handles debt recovery - the primary contact number being 01132977500. They are a subsidiary of First Locate. In our interactions, we've found them rather fond of bending the truth over the phone, making all sorts of dubious assertions, even in the face of clear evidence to the contrary. Their modus operandi seems to be more about intimidating individuals into settling debts, even in cases where they aren't owed at all. They have an astounding disregard for facts, even when formal documents are presented - one might surmise that this strategy is more profitable for them. Often, the initial "falsehood" is a request for you to return their call to a premium rate number. When you ask for a standard contact number, they feign ignorance, which is, of course, untrue. It serves as a strong hint that the caller is likely not forthcoming with the truth.

I keep receiving calls claiming that I have an outstanding balance with Scottish Power for a property I used to live in. The thing is, all my bills were paid up before I vacated that address. It's incredibly frustrating, and these constant calls are really causing a lot of unnecessary stress for us.

The individual who rang me was quite unpleasant, exhibiting a rather haughty attitude and making unreasonable demands. Their lack of professionalism was evident. They were inquiring about a Scottish Power debt that we had already resolved around six months ago. What a dreadful experience!

Who on earth was calling us? We really wish these folks would stop bothering us with their phone calls! They rang us at 6 in the afternoon, just as we were settling in after a long night shift! Seriously, who is behind this?

Received a call but can't for the life of me remember who it was.
