β€ͺ01256 306998‬ is a dodgy landline number, looks like it’s coming from Basingstoke. Beware!

These debt collectors are just leaches, constantly harassing you to pay up for things that aren't even your responsibility. I usually just block their calls straight away.
3 years
Just ignore them, they target people who are easy to fool and probably have their employees post fake good reviews on these platforms.

CARS are basically debt collectors hired by insurance firms. They have been chasing me for cancellation charges that are wrong and unfair, even though I had solid reasons to cancel. For example, I had a heart attack and couldn’t drive for several months, so it wasn’t my fault.

Fraudsters for sure!

Car companies always want you to pay crazy cancellation charges that you shouldn’t have to. They request money that isn’t even yours to pay. Just ignore those calls.

C.A.R.S is a real company. I had a car that got written off a while back and there was still some insurance money I hadn't paid. They kept contacting me to sort out the remaining insurance balance.

Credit account recovery services for cars aren't a scam, honestly. They're genuine debt collectors hired by companies to get back the money owed. You'd probably have got letters from them too.

C.A.R.S debt collectors, they are for real. You can check what your debt amount is and who it’s with. You probably got letters from CARS as well.

Got a call from a debt company called CARS. They seem legit enough. If you have any outstanding bills with a firm, they usually hand it over to this agency. Just pay what you owe or arrange a payment plan with them and they’ll leave you alone. Easy as that!

I've received calls from C.A.R.S. debt collectors who are insisting that I pay them an amount I simply don't owe. The caller had a noticeable Indian accent, which added to my confusion about the legitimacy of their claim.

Had no clue who was calling. They claimed to be from Cara, said I had an account with them and that letters were posted to me. Definitely sounds like a scam to me.
