I’m getting constantly hounded by a debt collector about a tiny balance I owe Sky broadband, even though I’m already on a payment plan and just paid most of it off a couple of days ago. The calls keep coming, plus texts, emails and even silent voicemails. It’s driving me up the wall! They seem legit, but honestly, for a debt under £80, they’re way too persistent.

Picked up a call from this number and the person said they worked for a debt collection agency, trying to help businesses recover what’s owed. They sounded quite nice on the phone, but I wasn't friendly back since I already paid my phone bill.

So, C.A.R.S actually means CreditLink Account Recovery Solutions, which is a debt collection firm, not anything to do with cars or driving. It doesn't matter if you’ve got a licence or not. Basically, if you ignored a bill from a certain company, they’ve likely handed it off to C.A.R.S to chase you up for the money.

So, there's this company named C.A.R.S, and they’re debt collectors. They mostly deal with car insurance firms trying to get back unpaid insurance fees. Quite often they ring you up for this kind of thing.

Got a call from this number, but it jumped straight to my voicemail, maybe cause I've already blocked it? They left a message, but all I heard was about half a minute of call centre noise and no one talking at all. Such a waste of time - thirty seconds I'll never get back!

I rang the number back, and turns out it was some automated message about C.A.R.S. I didn’t bother pressing any options though. I don’t have a car or even drive, so not sure what it was about, but pretty sure it was spam.

Really happy I found this site to look up numbers. I called the phone, which was on silent since it’s the weekend. They didn’t leave a voicemail.

SCAM alert! They kept ringing and said they were calling for a client called Three. When I looked up the reference number that CARS gave me with Three, it was a total con. Three told me to not deal with them at all. Blocked the number straight away.

Got a call from someone saying their client asked them to get in touch with me, and they wanted me to confirm the first part of my address and my birthday. When I asked who they were and who their client was, they said the name was C.A.R.S and kept saying they were acting for their client. I asked what their business was because I’d never heard of them and wasn’t keen on sharing personal info. She said she’d send some letters by post and then just hung up. She never really explained what the company did or who exactly they were, so I’d be cautious if they call again.

CARS called asking for £65 over a supposed Three debt. They started by sending me a letter. I checked with Three and they confirmed I've never had an account with my info.

Nearly fell for it, they’re pretty convincing. Don’t waste your time. I blocked them, you should too.

Got calls from a debt collector called CARS claiming to act for the London Mint, but they seem to be faking a connection to the Royal Mint. Turns out London Mint sells these 'coins' that are just cheap knock-offs and ridiculously overpriced. I rang the Royal Mint to check and they said London's Mint's got no link to them and the coins ain't legal currency. Definitely steer clear of buying anything from London Mint, it’s just a load of rubbish.

Some debt collection agency for cars has been calling my mobile several times, even left an automated voicemail. I thought it was a scam so just ignored it. Then over the weekend I got a letter through the post saying they’re collecting on behalf of The London Mint Company. The letter said I had 10 days from the date on it to get in touch, but by the time I read it I only had 2 days left. I emailed them straight away and attached copies of all my proof of payments and returns to The London Mint Company, but haven’t heard anything back yet. Feels like I might’ve been scammed twice now.

Had a run-in with this debt collection lot called Cars, over some stuff the London Mint Office sent me that I never asked for, then started chasing payment for it. I ended up ringing Cars and giving them my bank info just to sort it out quick and stop the constant nagging. But then, the next week, Cars phoned me again saying the last call never happened and wanted even more cash. Luckily, I kept records of all payments, feels proper dodgy to me.

These folks are dodgy, trying to trick you into giving away your details. They first text you with a number and tell you to ring them back with some kinda reference number. Then they ring straight away, saying they’re from a car company, and ask you to confirm your info by giving them your date of birth and address.

This telephone number is linked to C.A.R.S., a debt collection agency. I strongly advise against picking up the call. If you decide to reach out, be prepared to hear them ask you to "verify your address" under the pretext of discussing a "mutual client." It's a clear sign that they intend to initiate legal action.

This number is linked to a debt collection agency known as C.A.R.S. ⚠️ It’s best to avoid picking up the phone!
