17 daysPut them straight on my block list!!!4 monthsIt showed up as some sort of credit firm on the caller ID. I don't have any debts, so I'm a bit hesitant to call back.4 monthsSCAMMERS! This has been going on for ages and it’s such a hassle. They seem ready to scam me at any moment. Even when I was at the emergency hospital today, they called me again and kept bothering me.6 monthsKeeps getting calls from some company called CARS, like several times daily. They say I owe money to Scottish Power for an old house, which is totally not true. The number isn’t even local - not from Basingstoke or anywhere in the UK really. Sounds like it’s a call centre in India or something. Reported it and blocked the number again.CARSScottish PowerBasingstokeUKIndia6 monthsFor months now, I've been getting calls nearly daily from all sorts of different numbers about some old debt from like 15 years ago, which I don't even owe. It's getting really annoying.6 monthsSo I missed a payment on my car insurance and now some company called Car is chasing me for the money. Apparently they bought my debt and are threatening court action if it’s not paid soon. Proper scary stuff, gotta sort it out quick!7 monthsThey keep calling me every single day, even tho I’m on a DRO debt plan and all my debts are sorted and meant to be wiped clean. They’re after 40 quid for Scottish Power, which is from an old place I haven’t lived in for more than 4 years. The calls don’t stop, and when they answer, they hand me over to some Indian guys who start pleading for my info. Not once have I received any letter about this, just them ringing non-stop and leaving voicemails all the time.Scottish Power7 monthsThey’ve rung a few times in the past fortnight. I never picked up. When I called back, an automated message said "Welcome to C-A-R-S. Press 1 to pay or press 2 for other options." From what others have said here, it seems dodgy. Cheers for the heads up.C - A - R - S. Press9 monthsGot a call on my office phone but the moment I picked up they just cut the line straight away.10 monthsThis number rings me daily. I don’t pick up, then a text arrives a few minutes later saying they’re from CARS and want to talk to a Mr Jonathan Merceca (that’s not me at all). I just block and mark them as spam straight away.CARSJonathan Merceca10 monthsGot a call from someone claiming to be with CARS, they wanted my personal details but I told them I wasn’t about to share anything over the phone since I don’t owe any money. I asked them who they were working for but they wouldn’t say. I didn’t give them any info. They said they’d send a letter with more info but I haven’t had anything through the post. Feels like a scam to me, they keep ringing me up even now.CARS11 monthsSounds like the call centre is based in India! It's clearly a con, they gather details on folks they reckon owe money and, without any consent, pretend to be from the company you supposedly owe cash to, trying to squeeze money out of you! Don’t hand over a single penny to these lot, and make it clear you’ll be reporting them to the cops!India12 monthsThis number has phoned me like five times this month. Each time they left a voicemail sayin they’re debt collectors working for the R.A.C. but they’re definitely fake and just scammers. Wouldn’t trust them at all. Best report them straight to the Fraud Police.R. A. C.Fraud Police1 yearAlways ringin’ claiming to be from some debt collector company. They never say the name of the person they want. I just stopped pickin’ up.1 yearSo, this company CARS, who are supposedly debt collectors, have been ringing me up loads for someone else. I've told them a bunch of times they've got the wrong number but they just won't stop. It's really bothering me, feels quite harassing. I’m seriously thinking about reporting them soon.CARS1 yearThe person on the other end hung up straight away as soon as I picked up.10 yearsNo idea why they're saying Basingstoke, its just some annoying accident claim scam.Basingstoke11 yearsI picked up the phone, but oddly enough, there was complete silence on the other end, so I ended up hanging up.11 yearsReceived a call from someone claiming to provide legal counsel regarding any accidents that I or my family or mates might have encountered over the past couple of years. I found his approach rather abrasive, and when I inquired about the reason for the call, he abruptly terminated the conversation after I declined to engage further. Quite off-putting, really!Submit Your Own Report (01256 512890)
