I never share my home landline, so how did ACI debt collectors get hold of it? They keep calling constantly. I’ve reported them multiple times but this number still hasn’t been blocked. Why does noone stop this kind of harassment?

Got a call from someone claiming I owed money to e.on, which is odd since I've never even been a customer with them. When I asked for more details, they just hung up on me. Definitely feels like one of those debt scams.

Got a voicemail but no number showed up in my missed calls. It was ACI asking me to ring back about some options on 01253 531528 - yeah, I just ignored it and didn’t bother replying.

I got a call from this number and it left me a really unclear voicemail, just asking me to call back but never saying why or even getting my name right. The message said to call 01253 531 528, which from what I’ve found on here, is tied to lots of scams. Definitely best to block it and steer clear. If it was a genuine call, they’d have your name and confirm they were talking to the right person before leaving a message. Plus, they’d usually explain what the call concerns.

Got a dodgy call earlier, and they left a voicemail without even saying my name. They wanted me to call them back on 01253 531528. I’m definitely not gonna call them after seeing what others have said here. Seems like a classic scam to me.

Kept calling over and over, left loads of voicemails despite me blocking their number. Proper annoying.

Got a voicemail from some other number telling me to call this one, which turns out to be on the ACI debt collectors site. Apparently, I’ve got a recycled phone number (switched a few months back) that used to belong to someone who owed money. That was why I kept getting calls. They said they've sorted the records now, so hopefully, no more rings from them.

This dodgy phone number has been hassling me on and off for nearly 3 years now. Just yesterday, 14/08/25, I got a call from them again. Like a few others have mentioned, they claimed to be from ACI and said they needed to discuss some 'personal issue' with me, asking me to ring back on this number. The call actually came from 0333 344 3502. It's baffling that the police, Ofcom or trading standards haven't stepped in to shut these lot down yet. Totally frustrating!

Got a call from +44 333 053 5482 but I usually don’t pick up unknown callers. Later checked and saw a voicemail asking me to ring back about some important personal matter to speak to a case manager on 01253 531528. Sounded like a robotic message, which made me suspicious right away. I’m not bothering to call back. These dodgy calls are getting really annoying. I’ve blocked the number and will keep blocking any linked to ACI as well. If I owed money, I’d expect a proper letter before this kind of pushy phone call nonsense.

Got a call from a Blackpool number, 01253531528, left a voicemail saying I should call back. Pretty sure it’s just another scam like loads of others I’ve had. Blocked it straight away.

Got a voicemail from someone claiming to be with ACI, asking me to ring them back on 01253 531528. They said it’s not a sales or marketing thing, but something personal. The call first showed up as private on my phone, so I didn’t pick up and can’t block the number. Definitely not planning to return the call.

Got a voicemail from ACI debt collectors saying I owed money, but I don’t have any debts with them. The message sounded the same as what others have posted about here - definitely feels like a dodgy scam. I didn’t pick up and am worried they might try ringing from a different number again, which seems to be their usual trick.

Got a voicemail from ACI saying there’s an important personal issue and asked me to ring 03330535430. They said it’s nothing to do with sales or marketing. Heard this kind of thing before from other numbers like 01253670703, 01253807448, 01253968091, and a few 0333 numbers including 03334439910 and 03335565567. Seems to be the same kinda calls.

I called back ACI UK.co.uk using 141. The person who answered had an accent and asked for my number. I asked who they were and what their company did. They said they were a debt recovery firm. I asked why they’d called me in the first place. They claimed they must have a file on me and said if I gave them my number, they could check into the debt or close the file. I told them I don’t owe anything and if I did, I’d have received a letter. So, I insisted there couldn’t possibly be any file on me.

I’ve had this number ring me loads of times, but I always ignore it. I never pick up from numbers I don’t recognise because I’ve been tricked before. After chatting with some others, we’re all convinced it’s a scam! Makes you think twice about answering unknown calls.

I saw the replies here after I got a voicemail from 01253531528 about a 'personal matter.' The call actually came from +44 3330538568. Just like others have said, they never used my name or explained why they were calling. My phone didn’t ring, it went straight to voicemail, so I only noticed the message much later. Honestly, I’ve got no clue who ACI is and don’t see any point in ringing back.

No idea who it could be. Got a voicemail at work from 01253 531528 saying to ring them about speaking to a case manager, and they claimed it wasn’t a sales or marketing call. After seeing the reviews here, looks like it’s about some debt, but I don’t owe anything. Maybe the folks who lived here before had something like that, but it’s not my issue, plus my number isn’t the same as theirs anyway.

This number kept ringing all day so I just ignored it. When I checked my voicemail, there was a weird message that seemed like it cut off right at the start, no proper intro or anything. The person at the end said it wasn’t a sales call but it definitely felt fishy to me. I’ve blocked it now, wouldn’t recommend picking up. Definitely feels like a scam!

I’ve been getting calls every day this week from different numbers, like today it was 0333 053 1830, but they all leave the same voicemail telling me to ring back on 01253 531 528. Seems like they change numbers because I keep blocking them. From what I’ve read and experienced, it’s definitely a scam, so don’t share any info with them. Just block the numbers as they pop up.

Absolute con! They ring up pretending you owe cash, trying all sorts to scare you into giving out your details. It's a scam, and the coppers are on it now. Best thing to do? Just slam down the phone and bin the number. Definitely tell the police as well, don’t get drawn in for a second.

Got a strange voicemail the other day, no one said my name which makes sense since my number isn’t linked to me anywhere. They probably just dialled randomly or grabbed the number somewhere. The weird bit was them saying it "wasn’t a marketing call" at the end - never heard that before from any firm, honestly had me chuckling. I’ve already blocked and reported it. If anyone’s fretting, just have a quick peek at your credit report, no need to freak out over these scammers.
