Users describe receiving threatening messages about imminent home visits and legal action, causing distress especially among the elderly and vulnerable. The identity of the company behind the calls is disputed, with some referencing “Lantern” or “Motor Mile Finance,” raising suspicion of scam activity or mishandling of personal data. Despite occasional claims of legitimacy, the overwhelming consensus warns against engaging with the number; do not provide personal information, and consider blocking calls and reporting the number to authorities due to potential harassment and intimidation tactics.

Just got an email saying I owe £76.58, but then it also mentioned my account’s in credit? I’m pretty sure I don’t owe anything. I’m going to give that number a ring and see what’s what. I’ll update you on what happens!

Just got an email supposedly from this Lantern company saying I owe £202.97. The message starts off with something like "you asked us to remind you when payment was due," which I don’t remember ever asking for. They don’t even say who the money is for or why I owe it. At the same time, they mention how to pay and what the next payment date is. I’m totally confused and not sure what to make of this.

I sent the email accusing me of owing money to [email protected] straight to spam - it’s definitely a scam. About 2 years back, I got a letter with the exact claim and when I phoned them, they started asking for sensitive info like my bank details. When I contacted a legitimate debt collector, they said they’re not allowed to just send emails like this; they HAVE to provide a detailed letter with each debt listed, amounts, and dates.

Sounds like a debt collection company. When I asked what the call was about and which date they meant, they just said the best way to reach them is through their website or email chat.

I didn't get a call, but a letter from a company called Lantern printed on their letterhead, including a financial form and a direct debit mandate for a supposed debt of £107.02! They don’t say who they’re collecting for though. I’m pretty sure I don’t owe anyone anything since I regularly check my credit score and always pay my bills straight from my bank. I'll be emailing them to query this and then pass the details to a scam reporting site.

Got a letter saying they’d come round to our place to collect some debt of £550 that doesn’t even exist. We use a call blocker so they can’t try bullying us over the phone. Now they’re saying they’ll hand it over to Resolvecall, which looks like some debt collection company, but as far as I know, they’ve got no right to just show up at your house or do anything legally.

I received a message telling me to ring Lantern straight away with a reference code. I’ve had this phone number for well over 15 years and never had any debts needing a collection agency. Could be someone gave them my number by accident, or it’s a random one they dialed on purpose. They seem like a legit debt collector, but I’m a bit wary about replying just in case.

There’s a firm going by the name Lantern or something similar, claiming to be debt collectors. They keep ringing my landline even though it’s unlisted, asking for a bloke named Gary Price - that’s definitely not me. They’ve called previously and I told them straight up that if they keep bothering me I’ll take legal action for harassment. A lot of the staff on the other end don’t seem to speak very good English either.

Latern really seem to be a legit company. Having been through money troubles myself, I’d say it’s best to pick up the phone. If they’re after someone else, just kindly let them know so they can find the right person. I used to be with a Credit Checking Agency and can vouch that this is all proper and above board.

They ring me about 3 or 4 times every day, on average. They keep saying it's really important that I call them back, using some reference number they keep mentioning. The person they're after isn’t me, but if they are real, they share my initials. So far, no letters have come through the post, which is a relief.

I got a letter today addressed to someone else saying they owe £2500. I thought it was real at first and looked up the website. Trying to be helpful, I emailed them to say that the person doesn’t live here anymore. Later I checked the phone number and found out it’s a scam. You just can’t escape these scammers, now they’ve got my email, my name, and phone number too. It’s making me distrust everything these days. It’s so wrong, those who send these letters really ought to be held accountable.

I answered my landline early this morning waiting for a package and heard an automated voice giving a reference number and a number to call back, but no company name. I checked the caller ID with 1471 and saw 0113 887 6876. I accidentally pressed redial, but luckily BT said the call couldn’t go through. I looked up the number here straight away and, no shock, it’s just some cold callers. Don’t know how they got my number but defo not ringing them back.

Got a voicemail from a robocall saying they wanted someone else, not me, and told me to ring back. Pretty sure it’s a scam!

This firm calls my home phone about once a week looking for someone called Emma Wade. Just today I got a robo-call telling me to press 1 if I’m Emma Wade or 2 if I’m not. I hit 2 and then got a load of automated messages saying their agents are busy, followed by a message saying the other party ended the call. It’s really frustrating and annoying! And for the record, I’m definitely not Emma Wade!

Got a call from lantern, used to be motor mile, saying I owe some payday loan money which I've never even taken. They couldn't tell me when or where the loan happened or how it was paid back. Quite fishy if you ask me.

Got a call from lantern asking for a quote reference number, but I’m using an unregistered pay as you go mobile - 0. They clearly have no clue who they’re sending these refs to. Total phishing scam in my opinion. Never taken out a payday loan or any kind of loan in like 30 years, so this has to be stopped and reported asap.

Got a text saying it was urgent and to ring the number above, but I have no clue who they are and I’m not bothering to answer. How do they even get hold of our numbers? Seems like it should be against the law.

Got a message telling me to urgently get in touch with someone called Lantern with a reference number M4733185. I've no idea who they are or what they want, and there's no way I'm ringing back at 13p a minute.

I just received a text telling me to ring a certain number about some urgent issue with a reference number. I replied back saying if they can’t show I owe anything, then they should stop bothering me. Honestly, why would I waste my time calling a random number just to get hassled? Does anyone even bother calling these things?

spam here! I keep getting messages from them saying ‘please get in touch with lantern urgently on 01138876876 and quote this ref number,’ but the reference changes every time. I’m sure I don’t owe anything and never had any loans, so i’m not bothering to call them back.

Totally baffled by this call. No clue who Lantern is or why I’m being asked to ring them on 0113 8876876. Seems dodgy, like some kind of scam. They mention a ref number M2033738, but it all sounds fishy to me.

My lad who has Down syndrome keeps getting loads of emails with this number listed as the contact. They’ve not even got his first name right, which is really upsetting. What’s worse is they’re sending them using the name of his dad, who he hasn’t seen for over 20 years and is completely estranged. It’s really distressing for him.

got a message from them earlier today and decided to ring back - had to answer some security questions which felt a bit awkward but turns out they are a genuine company - they offer reasonable payment options for old debts you might have (mine was from 2014) - honestly, they seem to be a more honest debt collection service than most others ive dealt with.

Got an email earlier saying I’m meant to be behind on a payment over £500 and they want it sorted quick. I’ve got no debts like that at all, so I reckon it’s some kind of scam. Just watch out guys, don’t rush into paying anyone unless you definitely know you owe them something.

They’ve started sending really pushy emails now. Watch out, it’s pretty shady. I’m smart enough to see through it, but for older folks, an email like the one I got could easily fool them.

Over the past few days, I’ve been getting texts from this number telling me to call them about some “unresolved issue.” They haven’t said who they are, which feels like they’re just trying to scare me. It’s a relief to see others have got the same messages, so I’m pretty sure it’s a scam. They never mentioned my name or anything specific, so it’s like they’re just guessing randomly!

ive been getting texts the past few days telling me to call a certain number about an "unresolved issue". no clue who they are and it feels like a scare tactic. good to know others have gotten this too so its probably a scam. they never mention my name or where i live so theyre likely just guessing.

genuine company, they deal with mr payday lender loans, so if you ever had one of those payday loans these are the ones chasing you. they spam loads of folks who have no idea, just think back you probs took a loan and tried to delay payments, well this is the result. these guys work with mr payday lender loans (motor mile finance) mmf, and if you just brush it off it gets sent over to prac financial limited payday express.

I got a weird text from a mobile, telling me to ring a number and gave some sort of reference code. Problem is, I don’t owe anything and never took any loan. What’s odd is they haven’t tried my landline, which is what all my bills and utilities use. Also, no letters arrived from them at all. I’ve reported this to Ofcom since it smells like a phishing attempt to scare folks into paying debts that aren’t real.

this is total rubbish and you should just block it. i phoned the number and they wanted a reference number that they had supposedly sent me via text. then they asked for my name. told the person on the line if they couldn’t match the name with the reference number i'd given, they’re just scammers. when i asked what name came up with that ref number, he said natalie smith! i told him he should find a proper job instead of tricking folks and fishing for info by lying. cheers, won’t be dealing with them again.

Got a text saying they’ve got an urgent issue to sort with me and I need to call that number ASAP. No details about what it’s even about. Total scam, obviously. They probably bank on the fact some folks are dealing with real disputes already and will mistake this for a genuine message from that company. Legit companies always leave a voicemail and arrange a callback if needed. Honestly, I wish they’d just ring so I could tell them off properly over the phone.

These people are clearly up to no good, acting all dodgy and breaking the law. Someone really should do something and get them off the streets.
